Hi y'all,

I'll keep this as brief as possible as we've all got a lot on our plates right now with how things are. I've been fighting on-off coldness for the past week which this coupled with anxieties over just in case it is CV-19 (it's likely not, just paranoia) and full-time freelancing during a time like this when the majority of my audience and potential comm'ers are in the US, and coping with the lockdown and quarantine here the UK that came down a week ago, means that I'm not firing on all cylinders, though I'm still working as best as I can and as swiftly as I can and still plan to get the majority of current shorter comms finished this week and keep ongoing/longer things ticking along and updated. I'd ask that you bear with me for the rest of this week as I roll out at least continual little bits to everyone as I'm finding that works best for me right now. I'm also organising fresh uploads and a schedule for that to clear the backlog of stories waiting to be shared in my gallery.

The special request I have is that for anyone who has enjoyed my stories and can afford to contribute even a $1 to my PayPal.me, or buy me a ko-fi, you'd have my heartfelt gratitude if you did and it'll all mount up. It's something I almost always append onto my upload descriptions as I don't paywall off my uploads or just give teasing little snippets and then ask you to buy an ebook to read the rest. Anything extra I do get helps recoup the time it takes to prepare an upload, copy and reformat to go in the descriptions so you don't always have to read a pdf, come up with a catchy hook, etc, and right now, it would provide extra peace of mind. For anyone working from home right now and depends on commissions, this is a scary time, especially as here in the UK at least we're not being looked after as well as salaried employees/business owners. Anyone who is able to contribute, please leave your FA username alongside it and I'll add a little thanks section in future uploads.

I'll link my Kofi: https://ko-fi.com/coffeehoundsharka and my # https://paypal.me/curicuri

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I dearly hope y'all stay safe and healthy.
