I'm afraid of posting my nsfw project's here and on public spaces. I'm afraid that people will steal my project's away from me. Any suggestions or what i should do?

I've tested this out with certain groups of people with samples and they've naturally wanted to know more about the story and characters. But I don't want to give away too much that people won't buy or engage with my content.

This might not be a problem for some but I really don't have anything else going for me. I can't judge if I'm in the middle ground or not since many of my art rivals and mutuals have already found success doing something consistently. Does anybody else feel the same?

I won't list my rivals names for privacy reasons. But some are fetish_art/game developers/AI tech bros/ (with large patreons) that have already established themselves.
