After much contemplation, I've made the decision to delete my SubscribeStar. There's been a complete lack of activity not just from subscribers but from myself as well and I do not feel justified in keeping it up when I haven't been committing to it.

I'll still leave my Ko-Fi open in case people still want to make one-time donations but moving forward I don't see a reason to charge for early access when my upload schedule isn't consistent enough to justify it. For the time being I will upload everything I make to dA and FA at the same time.

I have gotten back into the swing of making things and there were some things I was considering posting on SS but I still feel so burned from last time I just don't have the heart to do it. I do enjoy being creative but sometimes I just feel too drained to even do anything, especially when I feel like it just goes nowhere. I didn't even post a single TF this year, partially due to the one I'm currently writing turning out to be much bigger than I anticipated and partially due to burnout and personal issues, and to go that long without updating tells me that I'm not in any position to try and profit off of this right now.

On the plus side, I did manage to find a new job, one that's not just a seasonal position and at a place where I actually feel valued and welcome, so money will hopefully be less of an issue than it was in the past.

As for the future of this account, I'm not done with TF as a whole just yet. I still have a few more ideas I might like to try, but they probably won't be very frequent. I always put a ton of care into my writing and I want each one to feel "special" instead of just churning out crap because I feel obligated to. So I probably won't be posting new TFs as often as I used to, but I'll still do them every once in a while.

Sorry to disappoint some of you, but right now I need to focus on getting myself back on track, so this account has been less of a priority lately. But I'm not abandoning it entirely. It's just going to take a bit time now.

Thank you for understanding. Stay strong in 2024.
