Next stream Wednesday, December 2 + SOME INFO!

That’s right! Wednesday. Doubly unusual since we normally stream on FRIDAY, and we originally said Tuesday.

But no. It’s WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2 @ 1 PM. Streaming until the end of our Kickstarter on Friday night!! (Well, with breaks.) We had to change the date because of some doctors’ appointments!

IS THAT IT?

No way! This is a big stream for us! Here are the reasons:

• It’s the end of our Kickstarter
• It’s our last stream before our 45-day holiday overseas (starting the Monday after)
• It’s Veronica’s birthday on the 5th of December!!!

We will be changing the rules up for this one stream. Wanna know what’s new?

Alcohol.

Yeah, we think streaming drunk is pretty stupid overall but IN MODERATION it can be fun, and Veronica is excited to celebrate her birthday ON THE INTERNET drawing stupid nonsense and getting emotional.

After people are charged on December 1, we’ll contact everybody in the $25\30 tiers and ask if they’re OK with Vero being stupid when doing their request. IF NOT, it’s OK! We’ll designate a day\time for the Serious Requests. There’s no shame in asking, we know people support us for cool drawings and if they want them drawn sober that’s their choice!

All lotteries will be done AS VERO PLEASES. Give her this, lottery patrons, she’s turned out 220+ sketches for Patreon this year! So look forward to things looking dumb and come up with appropriate ideas.

WHAT ELSE?

Well, we’re gonna be hyping up the end of the Kickstarter. We really hope it’s a triumphant time, but we still need a lot of reader support to get to our huge goal to make these expensive plush toys and other nice things!

I’m also going to give Vero her birthday present live, if that kinda thing INTERESTS YOU. It’s something I’ve kept secret since, like, March of this year. You might be able to make it even better. That’s all I’ll say for now…! Don’t tell her about it, she doesn’t even know there’s a secret.

Oh yeah! And I should also mention. Patreon are doing some kind of pilot program where they test a new way of showing a Patreon’s pledge count and cash amount that takes account of the Patreon fees and declined backers. In other words, our numbers are lower now, but it represents something close to what we actually get from Patreon (before tax). Nothing big that should concern you, but it would explain why we dropped about 10% along with some other big projects also included in this test.

Thanks for supporting us here as always! We’ll be in touch closer to the time. For now, please keep up on the comic, read our Tumblr, get updates via backing our Kickstarter, all that stuff! Your support is consistently amazing.
