Life Update, and Launching a Patreon before the new rates.
6 years ago
hey ya'll, sorry its been radio silence. It's been an awkward few months for me. Sudden emotional problems hit me hard almost just after I posted that I was opening comms, nothing major/scary just was depressed for personal reasons thru most of dec, jan, and feb. Then in April I was suddenly hit with the revelation that me n my folks are gonna move, so I've been working on getting the house together and packing n such. I'm sorry I haven't been able to make content. I hope I can try n get back on track soon.
If you are one of the people who messaged me about a Comm, I did getcha message, and I'm sorry I didn't reply. I promise I'll try to get back at ya when I do get back on it, and your spot is still held in some way, if any of you *can't* do your comms now though, I understand and feel free to message me and say so before I end up prodding ya for a story ya can't pay for.
also, since Patreon has decided to make shitty rates, I'm launching a Patreon just to make sure I get the good rates. I don't have any incentives right now, and I dont have any content to come along side it. Honestly I don't really think ya'll would want to donate to me after my absence, but, I needed to make it before the deadline (literally today as I'm writing this) and I might as well plop it here.

I promise I won't be gating content behind it *ever*. I dislike that prospect just as much as you all do I imagine. If I have any rewards down the line I promise they'll be rewards that the whole community will be able to read/access at least. Ideas I've mulled over are community polls to submit ideas for a monthly story, maybe a higher slot for a monthly comm if I can get a stable enough writing rhythm going. Standard stuff for Patreons really. Maybe polls on updating old stories/making small (500-1k word) sequels to old stories too? I might also consider making the patreon be per story if that would be better with some people, since I know I'll take a while to get back to writing sometimes and I figure people wouldn't want to donate to a month of writers block. If you all have any opinions on this/ideas to share, please share em!
and, finally, just to reiterate I am not locking any content behind the Patreon, and I don't even expect people to donate. I encourage you to donate only if you want to support me.
