Hey guys, Psudo here. This is a question I've been getting a lot recently, along with several others, so I figured I'd make a journal and sort everything out. Treat it sort of like a FAQ for what has happened/is happening with my Patreon account.
Dude, WTF! You never fulfilled your obligations! You're scamming all your Patrons!
This, in some form or another, has been thrown at me several times. Originally, my Patreon account was intended to serve two purposes: #1) Give me the extra income I needed to keep my internet up, and #2) Give me an excuse to rewrite Two Weeks. Oddly enough, I've only ever gotten this from people who have never supported me (Probably because I squared with all of my patrons a year ago x.x). The problem was that nobody liked Two Weeks. People weren't reading it, I wasn't too enthusiastic about writing it, much of it had been rendered Non-Canon (The Vacant Years is the quintessential Caretaker novel, now), and I had several patrons come together and ask me, "Like, hey, how about writing something else? You've already got five Caretaker novels in the works." And I couldn't see any reason not to agree with them.
Okay, but you still didn't write it when they paid you to... That's scamming!
Not quite. I may not have written Two Weeks, but I have written a heap of other personal content that I wouldn't have been able to write otherwise (Like, 200,000 words of it, actually), most of which HAS been distributed to my Patreons, and will be publicly posted soon. I'm also offering other compensations to my Patrons, if they feel that's not good enough, etc. In addition, about half of the people who've supported me didn't clear their payments, meaning that they were 'nominally' supporting me, but their payments kept declining. I'm pretty sure I'm squared with everyone who's supported me, but if there's any more of you out there, please note/message me.
Okay... So what now?
Well, I'm going to be pocketing what I've learned, and try again of course! I'll be making another journal later, explaining the future of my personal work. In the mean time, I'd greatly appreciate if all of you little crinklebutts could waddle your way over to my newly furnished and neatly organized page, which can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/Argyraspides and consider subscribing!

Your Pateron is vague as to what you've actually written that patrons have access to. Maybe people on the fence would contribute if they knew what they were getting.
That's a good point. When I revise the page, I'll take that into account.
