Alright so i got some ill news for you all.
i have gotten a HUGE fine for something i did half year ago, now this is all personal bussnies, but as this might hamper the process of family secrets II quite severgly, i feel that it is my duity to share this information.
First off, if you know me, you know that i am a pretty swell guy, even though i had a very troubled childhood and all the classic reasons to become a thug or what not i became quite the oppesit.
i dont drink on week days, i dont do snus , i dont do drugs, and i dont do crime. and iv never been in a physical fight in my entire life up to this event i litterly had NO crime register, (22 years of age, i didnt even have a fucking snatch candy bar as 6 year old regester)
But one fateful summer last year, i was in a rather rough patch, and that + alcohol = bad mix.
soo...i did what all troubled single guys do when they had to much to drink.
i vandalized a wodden fence....
that's right THAT is my hardcore crime...i vandalized a fence in drunken daze..i didn't punch someone in the face , steal someones car , hurt someones feelings, i fucked up 2 wodden planks on a dudes fence.
REGARDLESS
of how minor this crime is and being my very first crime mistake of my life, Karma thought that it was one to many, and someone saw the entire thing and then sued me for it
what is the fine?
655,42 EUR
871,26 USD
(yes i am not kidding for a wodden fence)
This is an INSANE amount of money for me to pay....
Now so far i have been able to pay about 1/3 of this, but long story short said person is getting rather impatient.
Now how dose this effect family secrets II ?.
Well first off, i can no longer pay for it myself, (or parts of it, as ALL my money must now go to this)
Now i have gotten donations, and THOSE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE but the comic, cuse thats what they are for but here is the kicker.
Family secrets to me is a sort of...self reward kind of thing, it is something i like to treat myself to, because i feel i can reward myself with it not just becouse of the pure fap material, but having so many follwers of the comic and when they shower you with such praise, makes you feel like you have accomplished something, you have brought joy to others, both in boner messurment and laughter, you have lighten up someones day and that makes me feel well really good, and well to be quite honest.
I dont feel like i deserve that right now,
and to sit here desperelty needing money to pay the dude, or il get a dot in my regrester "witch i wont be able to take loans for collage, etc etc" it is all entierly up to if i can plead him for a down payment till it is payed off , or till i manage to land a job and can pay my first sallory to him.
But anyhow sitting here in my right hand screaming" I AM BROKE I NEED TO PAY THIS DUDE OR MY FUTURE IS FUCKED!" but in my other hand i have donations for Family Secrets, that is all about joy and self rewarding, the wieght on this scale is kind off....Off if you know what i mean?.
Again DO NOT worry, the donations you people have made are not going anywhere to pay of my dept, i could never scam anyone like that no matter what happens to me.
But that said, until this is paied off ...i dunno if i will be able to produce proper family secrets pages... becouse i am..well in black and white depressed
BUT AT THE SAME TIME
I feel like i should, because people ARE waiting for it, and a few people HAVE donated for it, and even though the word here is " donation" is it simply not just plain helping me pay for the pages?, and so should i not always be able to produce no matter my mental state?
i have just sold my gaming laptop for 100 euros ( 145,21 USD) an Asus Lamborghini VX3 wich was perfectly fine but had to sell it to first best buyer, because i have to give this dude SOMETHING tomorrow when i plead to him.
i feel really torn about this all this, i feel like i am letting people down, i feel like i am letting myself down, and the self loathing for what i did is way more then it should be for a vandalized fence, but among the stuff i have now this is just piling up.....
I promise i will do my best to produce pages for you people, i can not guarantee anything though as i reffuse to if they are not up to the quality that i expect of myself, the witty lines, all the sexing , and references i cant allow myself to let this suffer....
now , there is with nothing less then with outmost shame and self loathing that i do this, but if someone would like to .......donate to help me pay for my bills that would be nothing less then godlike of them...
ya would not be donating to make the comic go faster, you would not donate to improve the speed of production for family secrets, (As these things SHOULD HAPPEN , regardles of my mental state) but you would be helping a fellow in need, just so you are aware of it.
Look i really do not know how to say this....it sickens me that i am even saying it, I may not have alot of things going in my life, but one of those things where that i could take care of mysel stand proudly and say, " i am doing my best to change my life predicament, and i dont do stupid misstakes!", , and try as hard as i could and not be a fucking charity case, and i have to do nothing less now then to swallow my entire pride to even let you people know about this....
So there you have it...there will probebly be delays, or at least a very un-even new page appearing
and if you feel like donating to help me with this, then god bless your heart, but please...dont make journals for me saying" THIS GUY NEEDS HELP" it....its so pathetic....
If someone want to help me, i want them to do it from the bottom of thier own heart , not because it was shoved in thier face throw a journal....
last note: i am sorry that its a massive wall of text i just cant keep myself short...
Ether way god bless you all and i will try my hardest to keep producing pages for you.

I appolgise the USD converstion fucked up, now it is accurate.

I appolgise the USD converstion fucked up, now it is accurate.
Not to mention getting sued over it. :c
Couldn't you just have told him something like "Dude, I'll fix it with my own tools and my own money, good as new"?
Anyways, I hope you get this all done and over with, sorry you have to go through this, and have even sold your laptop :c
the thing was that he rapier it himself, and so he had a list of all the cost...wich he then of cource instead of replacing and repainting the 2 blanks and adjusted the fence, he thought it be a good oppertunity to replace the entire thing and blame it on me ( it was old and all that )
Regardless of this...I am still in the wrong.
Also Swedish dude, nice
so no court or anything like that, but thats the worst part if i would not have admited, it could have gone to court and they could have deiced the payment that hsould have been, and that would have been cheaper....
Sweden is usually well "good" compared to most countries when it comes to this, but i was fucked over for trusting the system and being honest...This is also the reason why i dont belive in karma.
Also unless he can prove the extent of the damage required the extra planks to be done then its extortion
Also who is demanding the debt be paid, is it the government or an insurance company?
Since to demand a debt you need multiple warnings for it and give suitable time to allow for repayments, and they must be able to agree a settlement between both parties and it must be reviewed to assess the damages and who have you admitted responsibility to, because you could argue that you only accepted the damages specifically for the two planks and paint
The extra planks might be able to be argued that they would need repainting to get the right colour due to ageing but it would not require additional wood to be replaced unless clearly evidenced and documented that the damages were caused.
And with the way your being threatened you could also file a suit against the organization for demanding payment upfront as harassment if your laws state you need time, since im mainly basing this off of UK laws
I'd break legs if someone did that shit to me.
Only thing you did wrong was breaking a small portion of the fence.
He's in the wrong for fixing the ENTIRE FENCE and thinking he could pin it on you.
That better be some DAMN expensive wood.
Look at it from say, damage to a car. You get the damage repaired, pull out a dent, maybe replace a panel... you do NOT pay for a whole new f*cking car!
LET him get legal... anyone with any sense should side with you. Even moreso if the fence was old anyway...
I'll see if I can spare anything. I'll have to take the amount PayPal might take for itself since they love doing that, but I'll see what I can do.
I don't think you should have to feel undeserving of a reward just because of a mistake you made. You're paying for it, and it sounds like you're dealing with some real jerks, so if you want to treat yourself then I say you have every right to do so :)
I'll see what I can do for you. It probably won't be much but it'll be something.
I hope things get better soon
i mean i cant even buy a snickers cause litterly every penny has to go to this, otherwise i could not relax knowing it is just hovering over me.
"hugs" thanks mate...
It's just stupid *with a backwards S*! Two planks of flipping wood...at that point I probably destroy the whole fence and said "THIS is how much I'm paying for, not two pointless pieces of wood!" *i'm violent XD*
People in the world today...
Then.... Family Secret II fans and attentions it's not something you may" deserve or not deserve".
It's a cool, nice, and fun way to interact with a community of friends that share things with you.
There is no rush for producing this comic, remember that we KNOW that it's a free comic, you pay for it and no fan should put rush about it.
You've to focus on your immediate need to close that payment.
PS
I suggest you to read the Note i sent you for that project. I may already start it, it will be something of your because it's set in your world with your decisions. And i'm sure that fans will enjoy it, while you gain enaugh money to calm the guy of the fence and have money to pay for other Family Secret pages
1)keep at the bay all the fans that wait and are sad to see no more updates
2) don't pay for this project (i'm willing to pay 100% of it, even if i write only a little part of what happens)
3)gain time to focus all your money to pay this fine.
Get your fine sorted and then we'll pester you about the pages =P
Hope all gets well soon i shall keep an eye out on your journels
Well, I'll start off by saying that you don't need to say sorry. It's not your fault that the other man is such a greedy cunt who charges that amount of money over two pieces of rotten wood. We know you're the one paying for this comic and sharing it with us. Nobody here will hold this against you. I bet those two planks aren't even worth 50 each.
Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to help. I would if I could, but "would" isn't any use to you right now. Maybe you should consider using the donation money you have for the comic to pay off this debt. I know you said you don't want to, but sometimes you have to swallow your pride - however little you have. The fact is, this fine is more important than the comic.
Så, lycka till. That's all I can say for now.
I can't understand why he feels the need to sue you for to broken planks and a out of place fence though
If it were me I'd ask you to fix it and ignore all the legall bullshit
But I guess that guy must really either be stupid or money hungrey
I wish you the best in this, know the greedy asshole will probably get in a wreck later on down the road and someone else will do the same thing to him he is doing to you. Only triple in prices ha.
I'm not like lynx, and her comics are definitly more polished than mine, but after I finish SS and your still in a rough bit. I could do the comic for you free.
9 pap i skadestånd...
han gjorde en lista på "vad allt kostade att reparera," med plank färg , osv..och uppenabrligen är det jävligt dyrt...
så ALLT som allt
12 pap....
And also if you think about it, if you are getting donations that are meant for the comic, and your financial situation is the reason that the comic is being delayed, shouldn't that mean that the money could easily go to the fine (which is just dumb and that guy is being a little bitch looking for an outlet btw) so that you could move past this obstacle?
And...just wow...you didn't hurt him. I think it's terrible when people fuck other people over when it's something not worth it. You really don't deserve it, and don't make yourself believe that. You've accepted what you did is wrong and his reaction is a childish "you broke my toy" notion.
Taking a breather from the comic is probably a good idea anyway though, being an artist, I understand the high product demand vs. real life demand is a terrible situation to be in, but when it comes down to it, if you don't give real life priority then your product will start being associated with sadness and depression, and if your comic really brings you and others joy, then its best to leave it to just look at from the outside to help you out, though avoid the creation process of a lighter-mood subject while you're feeling the way you are.
Try making some stuff just for you based on your feelings, separate from family secrets ^_^
so i didnt even knew i had this dept,.
And HOW does he expect you to get the money ASAP? The entire WORLD is in a fucking crisis, in case he didn't know. Money doesn't grow on trees; he needs to learn that.
Gimme this guy's address and I'll mail him a complimentary bag of shit.
Anywho, it's not your fault. It's his for deciding that charging someone for an entire fence when only to planks were ruined is the right thing to do. He's a cuntface. B(
I mean 650 bucks fine it's for people who usually are involved in high-speed chases and shit.
I mean that shithead can't even fix the two fucking planks himself ? What an asshole.
I'm considering mailing to him a chair and a rope so he can hang himself up.
As for you all you can do is slap yourself in the face as punishment and just be careful next time you drink alcoholic beverage.
And you're not even that guilty. Heck who didn't do fucked up stuff while being a teen ? Even I personally have done shit I'm not particularly proud of while I was a teen.
Still the guy is a huge bastard and should be neutered and shot like a stray dog who got rabies.
I hope you'll sort out your financial situation.
It also sucks you had to sell your gaming laptop :( The Lamborghini version is pretty damn cool even ( and I know that we'll, I'm Italian AND a PC Enthusiast ).
I think I'd open a kickstarter plan so we can give him a trip to the Russian gulags, without a return ticket of course.
Anyways hold on tight ! We're all here to support you, and if we can't financially, we'll do it morally.
Can't you give out an appeal to the court, stating that the guy overcharged you for 2 planks of wood, or the guy lied about destroying more than 2 planks of wood?
Did this even go to the court? I haven't noticed.
Jag hoppas att det löser sig för dig.
Worse they coulda done is give you $100 fine & repair the fence
If i could help you i would.
Well, i would love to help you if i had a paypal account and the money for it atm because that reaction .. it's well... not how he should react
good luck with that anyway
