February Update
6 years ago
Good February everyone, happy black history month.
Reward Tiers Update
This month brings a few big changes, specifically to the patreon rewards. The rewards have been revised because, as i've said in a previous update, I was contacted by a trust and safety member of Patreon in regards to rewards I was previously offering. So i've edited the higher rewards and lowered the price of them. I do plan to expand on these rewards and specifically offer a YCH voucher into one of the rewards where patrons will get a 1 use voucher to have their character featured in the story they choose on redemption. Still thinking about this a little and trying to decide how to structure this because I wouldn't want to always be picking random characters to use in the stories and I also don't want to have a stockpile of people with YCH vouchers waiting to redeem. Especially since I probably won't be able to release chapters every month. It's just an idea for now, but I would love to hear feedback about this idea and how to structure the reward.
Story Update
I will be working on starting a new story which was requested by fans in a poll in December. This new story will not be a fanfiction nor will it involve Pokemon. I want to spice things up a little bit and make a diverse set of stories for fans to read. I already have a rough idea in my head but I still need to write it all up and get everything going on it. I plan to stream this when I start working on the first part of the plot and the character dynamics and all. Stay tuned for an update on that.
Discord Update
I have changed a few things within the discord server, specifically adding a few new categories to it. I'm trying to spice things up just a little, but also I started using it for hypnosis sessions. So i felt it would be appropriate to add a dedicated category for that. I also added a category for gaming just to add more diversity than just story discussions and hypnosis stuff.
Twitch
I have been streaming on Twitch here and there as well. Feel free to check that out. I might even stream tonight to get my mind off of all of these struggles. Stay tuned for that if I do decide to.
Commission Update
I have updated my commission prices and added a space for hypnosis scripts to be requested from me. You come to me with your idea for a hypnosis script and I will write it. With this script you are allowed to do whatever you want as it is your idea you came to me with. The prices for these scripts vary and all start at the same price and gradually increase based on the complexity of the script required.
Personal Update
I am considering announcing a discounted price for a set of emergency commissions. I don't remember if i mentioned this in a previous update, but I currently work as a contract security guard and last month my company had a few contracts up for renewal. The place I was posted at, unfortunately, decided not to renew their contract with my company. This has left me with very spotty work and barely making 25 hours a week. I do have a new job i should be getting next week and this will help me, but i'll still be behind on my bills by missing almost an entire month's of work. I am still looking into making a paypal donation page for anyone who wished to help me further than commissioning me and supporting me on patreon.
I'm trying my best to stay above all of this stress, but it's really hard. It's been delaying my work, these updates, and delaying tasks I need to get done. I've been needing to update my commission prices and the reward tiers for 2 weeks now and I just couldn't get in the right mindset to do it.
