Late January Update
6 years ago
I originally planned to make this update early this week in Sunday or Monday, but I lost track of days and have just been busy in this part of the week.
I have to make this update today because there will be a significant change to the patreon reward tiers as I was contacted by the Patreon trust and support team this morning. It's nothing major, they simply told me that having raffles as a rewards wasn't allowed on their platform and asked me to remove it from my creator page, reward tiers, and posts. Which I kindly obliged.
This means that the reward tiers will be revamped and overall will likely be cheaper with some even merging with others. I think the highest I can justify charging any rewards is $25 without raffles involved. I would still love to hear feedback on what to add, remove, or adjust in the tiers. I just can't seem to work out what rewards seem fair for the price within my head.
I've also received some constructive criticism on Mysterious Poké Ball regarding how it has ended. Rest assured that this won't be the last time we see Lucid, Riolu, Nesil, and the others. I will continue that story line sometime, but it will be under a different title. The original Mysterious Poké Ball will still be part of the tags for easier searchability and I'll notate on the future releases that it's a continuation of that story. It's just not a story I can see lasting longer than 5 chapters without it getting old or stale to myself of the fans and readers.
The next step in writing is to make my own unique story from scratch. Which isn't something I'm the best at, but I know once I get it going I won't have any issue keeping the momentum of it. I already have a rough idea but I only have enough plot for a few chapters before I would hit a block. I still have to develop the characters too, which is something I have struggle with more. I always found it easy to keep the plots and stories going than the initial creation process. Which is probably why I enjoy mixing things up a little with a fanfiction or two.
At this time I don't have any ETA on announcements regarding this new, original piece or when it will be ready. I would rather not make promises I cannot keep. Some stuff happened this week regarding my job and I might be starting the transition process into a new job within the next coming weeks. I've also been recovering from a back injury which has even gotten in the way of me playing games.
I can say this: if it takes me too long to come up with the initial plot and characters for this new story then I will likely make chapter 2 of Brother's Keeper just so you guys aren't left with nothing to read.
With me luck in everything and I hope you guys have had a better start to 2019 than I have.
