MAJOR UPDATE - please read!
Added 2024-11-25 18:54:49 +0000 UTCHi everyone.
Don't panic, I'm not retiring or anything - but as a subscriber or potential subscriber, I want to make sure you take a moment to read this so, clickbait headline :P
From Friday's file on, I will no longer be posting audio content directly on Patreon. Instead, everything will be hosted on my website - where you can access all the content via your Patreon subscription, and should anything ever go wrong with Patreon, there is a backup in place already for a quick changeover.
So - what does this mean for you?
Not much - just make sure you take this chance to get over to my website and link your Patreon account there to retain access to posts with new files. It should be easy to do but if you do have any issues please comment or DM and I'll help you with troubleshooting.
You'll be glad to hear that the site has a vastly superior tagging and search system to Patreon, has content that isn't posted here including articles and games, and haptic integration and visuals for many files. Honestly, it's a way better experience so if you think of this as a potential downgrade on your subscription, trust me, it's not. I've put a TON of work into the website and I plan to do a thorough tagging update in the near future so it's even easier to find the content you want.
I also want to just add that I'm sincerely grateful for the support I get from everyone, whether you're subscribed now, were subscribed, or even if you just listen to what I make available free - I am still in awe two years after starting this little project, to have the kind of support that you give. So thanks.

Its asking me to pay, even though Patreon confirms I have paid and shows my membership. I click thru to your website and it says confirm with patreon or whatever. I click on refresh, and it asks me to pay. At first it gave me codes, but they didn't work. Now it just asks me to pay, but it also confirms I am a member. I have had this problem before, with another creator. I paid again, then complained to the creator, who confirmed I had paid twice, and gave me a refund! Something goes wrong. Probably my fault, but I am not going to pay twice again.! So I will cancel my membership!!

2024-11-29 23:57:11 +0000 UTCI'll check into that - if it's possible I'll fix it, otherwise I recommend downloading audio.

2024-11-26 17:20:29 +0000 UTCthat's my plan for the moment. just adding potential ideas.
we're all mad here
2024-11-26 12:22:34 +0000 UTCI'll look into it - I have zero clue how to do app development, so it may not be quick. In the meantime you can download the files from the website instead of listening on it.
Mistress Calia
2024-11-26 11:47:10 +0000 UTCYou can do it through an apk install available from your website. Google allows it and Apple has been ordered to

2024-11-26 10:56:36 +0000 UTCApp stores won't allow this kind of content

2024-11-26 10:04:18 +0000 UTCCan we help at all? I've not worked on HTML or other website back end in a long time, but I assume tags are pretty simple code blocks. I can see a couple of options that might help - Go over the list of files, create potential tag options, look at what might work best. And/Or prepare code blocks for the tags You want for insertion into the website. Might not be possible of course, just a thought.

2024-11-25 22:08:49 +0000 UTCI wonder if you could extend to an app as well. I mostly listen from my phone and using mobile websites is a pain

2024-11-25 21:47:19 +0000 UTCI think this makes a lot of sense. Your website is great, personally it's where i already go most often to listen to Your files. You can tell there's been a ton of work on it. It's easy to find files and filter them by tag, and as an avid grimmer (obviously) i love that! The ability to favourite things is great too although i don't really use it as i'd end up favouriting everything. I imagine You probably also have more control over what You can put on there and don't need to be so careful about censored words and stuff. Thank You for putting so much work into making Your files accessible with CWs, tags, etc. btw. It probably gets overlooked yet it's important and awesome ❤️

2024-11-25 19:57:30 +0000 UTCStripe don't allow this kind of content, but the backup is a Patreon competitor with a wordpress API, and after that there is one solitary payment processor that allows this kind of content. Talking about spicy sleepy time is very frowned upon.
Mistress Calia
2024-11-25 19:36:17 +0000 UTCRedundancy is always great but if you plan to later decouple the payments too, perhaps consider using a pci-dss compliant payment processor like stripe. Now can I panic? 🤣

2024-11-25 19:13:56 +0000 UTCWhen you go to a post with an exclusive file, you'll see a prompt to log in - just click on that and you can use Patreon to get access, instead of logging in to wordpress
Mistress Calia
2024-11-25 19:05:43 +0000 UTCi’m probably overlooking something obvious, Mistress Calia, but what’s the process for linking Patreon to Your website— didn’t see anything on Your site about that. Thank You🙏

2024-11-25 19:02:46 +0000 UTCOnce I get the tagging done right it'll be so much better too!
Mistress Calia
2024-11-25 19:01:49 +0000 UTCThank you for your support!
Mistress Calia
2024-11-25 19:01:32 +0000 UTCWhilst I started with Patreon's file system from Your posts, I'd already moved over to the website for the better search system - You're right that it's streets ahead for finding a specific file.

2024-11-25 19:00:02 +0000 UTC“A lot of work” may be the understatement of the year! You are amazing and i appreciate everything You do. Looking forward to an awesome future 🧎🏻♂️❤️🙏
