Quick "ELK HUNT" and TVD Update
Added 2024-09-26 17:36:43 +0000 UTCHey guys!
I delayed Ova shipments to add a few replacement copies for the Larvae UPS/FedEx/USPS either lost or demolished. There are a ton of books going out, so it was bound to happen to a few, but I'm insisting the shipping center slap obnoxious stickers on them and such. If you receive a copy that is badly damaged, please dm me.
The Ova U.S. batch and replacement Larvae batch are going out today. International, I'll keep y'all posted!
On TVD: Firstly, I want to apologize for the frequency in posts and the abrupt change in tone. I promise to offer light content in the cool down intervals of the series, just to keep things mostly chill here. I hope to release "Sydney" before October to help get the Patreon back on track as well as my public presence. Otherwise, I hope y'all have been digging what's up currently!
Thank you guys so much for being here! And thank you so much for your patience. This has been an extremely rocky month, but hanging in there.

The abrupt changes in tone are part of the appeal for me, tbh

2024-09-27 02:49:17 +0000 UTCA lot of people have already commented the same, but just remember Geri from Toy Story 2 - "You can't rush art." Furthermore, when I used to work in a giant corporate hellscape, doing IT and web marketing and wearing at least 4 hats and only getting paid for the smallest one, I had to repeatedly tell the upper management "a delayed product will eventually be good, but a rushed product or service will forever be bad." In my professional life, I always live by the words of Shigeru Miyamoto - sometimes there's production delays or validation fixes or customer drama (often), so don't necessarily apologize for something taking longer to be good. Instead take the time to do it *RIGHT* and it won't really be a problem.

2024-09-26 18:23:17 +0000 UTCHooray! I've been told by a lot of people and seen comments on other platforms praising my Patreon for the ongoing back and forth. It feels important to me that I involve y'all as much as I do in the process. It's a huge help seeing y'all muse over story beats/technique. Thank you so much for being here! β€οΈ

2024-09-26 18:22:37 +0000 UTCI don't Patreon a whole lot of creators but I have to say you are one of the more communicative ones and I look forward to the updates and the work in progress-es. You have nothing to apologise for!

I really appreciate your courtesy, but I'm really here for whatever and in whatever order it comes to your brain. Hell, even the silences. I just assume you're resting or you're cooking. Do you either way

2024-09-26 17:54:10 +0000 UTCI fucking love y'all, thank you. Also, yes there will be another round of preorders for all tiers in October! I will extend it to 2 weeks. It will take longer to recieve for you copy but it should make it so everyone has the opportunity to get one, thank you!

2024-09-26 17:53:55 +0000 UTCIt's given me time to concoct extra cringe things to spam your FB with, so it'll all even out.

2024-09-26 17:50:44 +0000 UTCI love the quick updates, art wips, and general randomness. I know you have to make the decisions that are best for the success of your business, but I enjoy anything you put out.

2024-09-26 17:49:17 +0000 UTCWe see you working hard and we appreciate it greatly. As long as you are staying sane and healthy is what really counts.

2024-09-26 17:45:14 +0000 UTCExcited the Ova Tier is shipping today. And no worries about the shift in tone, I expect it to be more serious when it comes to TVD, and silliness when it's not. I'm here for both.
