Trying harder, with a goal
Posted 4 years agoHey all.
So I've been trying to be more consistent lately with my writing despite having to balance that with my life for awhile being busier. I made a goal to myself to write every single day for four weeks and with the help and support of some very close community friends, rather family, I was able to do it minus missing two days that real life obligations were too much. Still 26 out of 28 days isn't bad at all and many of you have read the stories produced during that time which I hope you've enjoyed.
Well without broadcasting everything about my personal life an opportunity for advancement in my career field that I thought was assured was actually ripped from me at the last moment which I found out about two days ago. Worse yet is this will negatively impact my financial situation. Kind of sucks but crying over it accomplishes nothing.
Instead of sulking and feeling sorry for myself I'm gonna try harder at the things I can control while getting myself right back up on the professional stuff. In that way I've set a new goal for my writing of one page everyday at least and in that way hope to really get more content out to the community to enjoy.
I have a long list of my own projects, collaborations, and commissions that patrons have long since discussed with me wanting to create so I'm eager to get some of those ideas realized. As I try to really go at this whole things stronger than I have I would ask that if you're a fan and can afford it to consider supporting my efforts and help keep things going behind the keyboard. I have both a Patreon which gets you early access to my works and community discord server and Ko-Fi account if you wanna just tip for a well liked story of mine or something like that.
Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CCDPA
Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ccdpa
I hope to earn more supporters of what I do as I go, even 1$ more helps. I'll do my very best.
Gonna also work to fully update my account up to speed here with my DA and Pixiv, just harder to post stories here on a general basis. ^_^;

August Poll Winner: Lucky Star Sick Day
Posted 4 years agoHey all so the August poll on my patreon is concluded though only one girl or girls wins the trip to the changing table they are all winners right? Results are below:
Lucky Star: To Each Her Own Chapter 3:
5 votes
Lucky Star: Sick Day Chapter 2:
5 votes
Precure: Erika and the Nanny Chapter 2:
1 votes
RWBY: Weiss
3 votes
With that those active in the community discord suggested settling the tie with a coin flip in which in two out of three flips "Sick Day" came out on top. But in good news it gives me time to sit on ideas with Misao and Konata's trip to daycare, I can actually watch more Heart Catch Precure to get familiar with the characters, and though I had no idea with it whatsoever a random literary joke and conversation with my lovely mod and patron Amara has given me such inspiration for Weiss to get a short story of her own that I now find I'm very eager to write.
Welp that's all to say about that. Come along Yutaka. ^_^
If you wanna support my efforts, be a part of my discord community and be a part of future polls (5$ tier or higher) I'd certainly welcome the support over on patreon:

Trying again with Patreon
Posted 4 years agoHey all.
So I had started a patreon last year around this time in an effort to make a bit of extra money from my side passion of community writing. Honestly unlike others in the community I have no desire to get so big that this becomes my main source of income or anything but the idea of making extra and being able to feel more comfortable taking time from my other avenues of money is appealing for sure. Support kind of wavered up and down as I really didn't know what to do with it to keep myself from having to do quite so much but still produce. The pressure of it is part of why I wasn't as productive early on this year to be honest. But like with commissions I think I've figured things out a bit better so I'm giving it another shot.
Here's how it works:
1$ a month is a tier for just general support. If you enjoy my stuff well enough and can spare a buck each month to support the efforts it would mean a lot. Every little bit helps.
2$ a month has the benefit of being invited to my community discord server as well as three days early access to any new stories.
5$ a month would get discord access as well as a golden role on the discord to distinguish them and seven days first access to any new stories.
Honestly it's not a ton of benefits and I'm not sure I'm prepared at this time to offer more than that lest I get too stressed about trying to meet certain benefits and end up hindering my own ability to create. Still if you like what I do and are willing to support I'd love the help on this effort. I am actually quite busy with various other life engagements but I want to give this part of my life the effort I think it deserves and with the uncertainty we've all faced in recent times I want to be able to create with a slight less stress.
So yeah I would ask fans who can and consider my work quality enough to support to do so while knowing it is largely a donation bin. ^_^; But hey early access for stories such as current chapters of Rwby: Big Brave Bun Chapter 5 that just went live. ^_^

Adding to works
Posted 5 years agoHey all. So I feel pretty good on my writing efforts here. Coming up on ten months or so that I've been decently active, some months more than others but that just happens. I've made a bunch of works since then for myself, commissioners and patrons and with each one I've tried to be sure to put in love and care in making something you'd all like in all of them. However thing is most are one shots or two chapters at best. My stories I look at most fondly are Little Times of Haruhi Suzumiya (has plenty more it could get added to) and Sakura's Birthday Adventure in part because I could make something more involved. So I want to give that treatment to another story of mine which my patrons will be able to vote on this upcoming month. So sound off in the comments on what you'd like to see and maybe why you want to see it.
I'm still making my FA page to be updated but my full story galleries can be found here:
