Important Announcement For September (And Possibly Beyond)!!!!!
Added 2024-08-25 17:51:21 +0000 UTCDid the extra exclamation marks help communicate the urgency lol
Anyway seriously, I do actually have something important to say: work on CH12 has been absolutely tormenting me for the past year and I think, aside from personal circumstances, part of the reason is because I'm having Patreon Content Fatigue. You know, in case the increasingly erratic uploads and me running out of ideas for snippets weren't making that obvious 😭
So I've decided September (and potentially also October/November depending on how long it takes for CH12 to get finished) I'm going to focus solely on working on CH12. Instead of new character or romance snippets, you will be receiving previews and sneak peeks for CH12 every couple of days as I work on writing for it. I'll be aiming to post 1-2 previews every week.
After CH12 has been finished I may need to reassess how I'm handling the bonus snippet thing. I will still be writing them, of course, but at a certain point it's starting to feel like I'm just forcing it, and I want to avoid falling into that type of burnout as much as possible.
Of course, you'll still have access to the existing snippets, that won't change! You just won't see any new ones for a while and in exchange will get CH12 previews instead. Possibly even for CH13/14 as well, since sometimes I write a scene and decide it doesn't fit in the current chapter, and save it for a future chapter instead.
I'm hoping this will take off some of the pressure that's causing my writer's block. Totally understand if you don't want to (renew your) pledge in September because of this, of course!!
I'll still be uploading the tier 2 and tier 3 snippets for August before the month is over, so you'll have that to look forward to as well.
I apologize for what a long wait it has been, and I thank you so much for all your patience, your support, and your understanding while I try and defeat CH12 💖

Thanks for the understanding!! Thankfully I don't feel that way about the main story, just the Patreon snippets haha

2024-08-27 18:09:10 +0000 UTCYou could honestly make that the only patreon content and I’d still be happy lol

2024-08-26 18:55:02 +0000 UTCI won't speak for others, but I'm here to support you and your writing, regardless of the perks. That won't change. :) But I am super excited to hear more about chapter 12 (and on).

2024-08-25 20:29:30 +0000 UTCNah, that makes sense. I personally dislike when things end up becoming like a chore rather than a fun activity. Look forward to what you produce in the future.

2024-08-25 19:29:46 +0000 UTCI completely understand. You do what's best for you. I appreciate the extra snippets, but not at the cost of your mental health. Whatever you share is welcome.

2024-08-25 19:11:42 +0000 UTCI really appreciate that!! I already feel much better about writing without having to worry about the Patreon side of things now, so that's definitely a good sign 💖

2024-08-25 18:59:26 +0000 UTCactually loving this shift and appreciate the transparency! the snippets are fun and additive to the world you’re building but it definitely seems like a lot of pressure to deliver bonus content separate from the main plot. the context shift must be draining. all that to say very supportive of this move and thank you!
