Hello fellow BE Enthusiasts!
I hope you're doing well and that 2022 has thus far been treating you well - and that it continues to do so.
Thank you for all the support and great reception you have been giving to BE Revenge, The Bed and Breakfast, and Gold Digger (patreon timed exclusive). Your enjoyment and comments fuel my inspiration and motivation to keep at it!
Last month I reached my one year anniversary of sharing my work here on DA with my very first story, Jennifer's Breast Expansion Pills. I've learned and developed so much as a creator, thanks to friends like Cymic, Khooza, and Beetlebomb. I want to give a huge shout out to them and encourage you to check out their works!
Right now, I'm producing and sharing three stories every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. I have never missed a day in my year of posting. I've been able to do this by staying ahead of the schedule, by working almost every night on my stories. That's so important to me because as a BE fan I've felt the frustration of being really into a creators story and having to wait weeks, or sometimes months, for the next panel in an engaging story. I don't criticize other creators. Life can get in the way, or we can lose interest and need time to recharge. But as a fan and a creator, it's important to me to be consistent in my posting.
But that cadence and schedule has started to take a - little bit - of a toll these past few weeks. I've been feeling pressure as I've seen my lead time shrink, as I'm now working on 3 stories instead of 2. I also had a business trip that took me away from my BE story production for a week.
So to give myself some breathing room, I'm going to take off of posting in March. If your a patreon supporter I'll pause March payments.
This "time off" will give me the chance to catch up on my stories, so I can put the time into doing them right without rushing and possibly sacrificing quality. (I've been working the past week on figuring out how to rip clothing - you can use your imagination for how I'd deploy that in my stories :). I'm not sure I'll be able to, it seems there are some limitations with the software that I would need to really level up my expertise to accomplish. Beetlebomb shared with me his techniques, using UV in Daz, but I haven't had the time to look into it - I'm so rushed by the calendar. So I hope to be able to do a little research with my time!)
With the extra time I'm also going to enjoy some much needed videogaming. I've been playing, and loving, Metroid Dread. And next week Horizon Forbidden West releases - which I am extremely hyped for!
Before I got into BE story creation I'd spend all my free evening time gaming. Now I generally split my time between gaming and story creation. Though, the past few weeks it's been almost entirely creation because of the schedule crunch. So I'm excited to get some gaming time in.
I'm not complaining by any means. I'm loving creating and sharing these stories. I'm just sharing the extra details so you know a little bit more about ole' Biguns. :)
So - February has everything scheduled out, you'll still see stories posted this month. Then in March you won't see anything, and we'll pick up again in April.
Thanks for your support, and let me know if you're a gamer what you've been sucked into playing lately, and if you're getting Horizon Forbidden West.

Thanks for the suggestion Cody! I tried it when it came out a few years ago, as i loved fallout 3. I never did beat 4. Sounds like I should give it another go!
