Quick Update
Added 2023-03-14 16:01:57 +0000 UTCHey hey hey!
Just a quick update here regarding the amount of stories I have been posting every month.
As you might know, I have been posting non-stop stories every week for a while now, with only a few rare weeks off for me to take a break. And while it has been going okay so far (3 years now!) I have come to realize that it's not very sustainable. I am always on the verge of burning out and it is affecting the quality of what I am able to put out, so I need to give myself some break time.
Starting from this week, every month there will be one week where I am not going to post any new stories. So instead of the 4-5 stories a month that you guys get, you guys will get 3-4 stories. It's not too drastic of a difference, and I hope you guys won't mind, but I really need this for my mental and physical well-being. It's been super fun writing stuff that you all enjoy reading and I plan to continue doing it, so I do hope one week of downtime per month isn't too much to ask for!
That's all for now! I hope you guys are having a great week and I'll see you guys soon!

Burnout is so brutal. Taking care of yourself and your happiness is first and foremost!

2023-03-16 19:21:56 +0000 UTCWell of course! Your voice is perfect for her. She is your character after all. I just figured an audio version one a story could be very interesting

2023-03-16 17:15:55 +0000 UTCI probably wouldn't need an actor for Alex, but other characters, yeah!

2023-03-16 15:16:01 +0000 UTCWow! Heh at some point you should do one story where it has a voice read out option with actors. That could be really neat

2023-03-16 00:35:09 +0000 UTCThats great that you're trying to do something that will help you feel better overall! Take your time with your work and dont rush it, you're amazing and 100%. If you ever feel like burning out, take a break, it helps!

2023-03-15 21:32:33 +0000 UTCThanks Naliktay. I didn't know it was a thing either, I was going to make a PNGTuber video for it, but then I saw this was an option! I don't want people to feel obligated to read long boring update text, and this way it feels more genuine. Am not lying when I say I am close to burning out. Thank you for your continued support! 💖

2023-03-14 16:54:48 +0000 UTCThanks, Rox. Burnout is a hard thing to admit to having and it sucks. But I hope taking this tiny step back to let me rest and recharge will help! Thanks for your support. 💖

2023-03-14 16:27:56 +0000 UTCFancy voice option, I didn't know that was a thing, neat! Also yea no worries. Rather have a steady flow than 'going dark' for month(s) at a time. Enjoy your works and many more to come. :)
