Good afternoon, World of FurAffinity!

I started posting this on SoFurry, because I've spent the least time there as a fan and patron, but it just wouldn't be right for me not to include you, Constant Furry Readers, in my quest.

And so after seven years, more than fifty stories and more than a million words, I've decided to take my hobby to the next level.

Fear not! I will still be uploading to FA, to SF, to Weasyl, and I will still do my best to draw as much attention to myself as possible. *Cindy grabs a sandwich board and heads out to the nearest highway* Like I said... as much as possible.

However, I will also be launching a Patreon page. I can't keep up with even half as much writing as people want from me if I'm not actually finding some way to compensate myself. Yes, to head off the first question, I AM doing it for the love. I love my characters, I love my stories, and I love to write. I also love my friends, I love my family, and I love doing things with them, and Patreon will enable me to do more things, with more people, and allow me the freedom to write guilt-free when I do have downtime.

Patreoners will get early access to my stories. They will get access to my stories in WHATEVER format they want. They will get special one-off scenes for when I feel like just doing two pages of silliness to get a concept out of my head. They will get special alerts, such as when my Kindle e-book compilations go live (and each e-book will feature an 'e-book only' story!) They will help me figure out which story to do next, and give real-time advice as I dive into the world of serialized fiction.

The Patreon Page will go live in March and will include the early release of 'Odella IV: The Last Crusade', an early preview of the story 'Crushed', and an early preview of 'Princess Kimmi and the Temple of Bloom'. Tiers and rewards and whatnot will be sorted out once people are properly offering suggestions, and we will figure out which serial people most want to see.

And lastly...


Thank you, to all of the readers who have enjoyed my stories, favorited my stories, and ESPECIALLY commented on my stories. You are the reason I've kept doing this when I've had every reason to quit. It's been a rough few years, and I'm finally at the point in my life where writing for a living is seeming like a real possibility.

This is the first step on that path, and I couldn't have done it without you.


Cheers,


Dissident Love
