July Housekeeping - $1 increase to Patreon in August [but you should be grandfathered in!]
Added 2024-07-11 22:10:01 +0000 UTCHello, lovelies. just some housekeeping. I do these once a month or so as a reminder for [both] of us.
I will be increasing the price to $6 a month in August and making full year subscription options available. I devote oodles of time and energy to this little endeavor here and I don't want to pull back on my effort so we'll try a modest price increase. This way, I actually get to pocket $5/mo after Patreon gets their buck. I promise to keep this price [$6] for at least 6 months. Also - I believe if you are paying $5/mo now and just don't cancel it will stay at $5 a month as long as you hold the membership. If you do cancel and come back later, however, the $5/mo option will be replaced by the $6/ option. I am 99% sure on that but please don't be mad if I am wrong :)
Another new thing - I really like to spur creativity here. This place is full of women who have varied experience and diverse outlooks so do your best not to compare anything you do as a new artist to someone who has 20+ years of experience. And don't feel pressured to share [don't ever feel pressured to do anything here]. It sounds cheesy but the point of an artistic exercise is to stretch those muscles. Simply doing it is winning. We all have different flexibilities & styles.
anywaaaaaaaaays here we go:
-drRapture is not a real person but a character
-I [the voice actor] am a real person with a partner [wife] who is the real woman behind the character Nurse Joy
-Be as feral as you like here. Women deserve a space for that
-Not every audio will be for every one
-Suggest away! I have a notebook but it's a mess [I love it - deal with it] so feel free to prod me if you think I forgot something or it's been a minute since I said I would do [X]
-If you send me a script I will consider it a gift unless you explicitly ask for a fee. I will happily try your script and make it my own if it fits within the current mold. If I turn down your script, please don't take offense. I have a lifetime of sexual history and there are some things I do not want to revisit - please assume the issue is with me and not your writing. I have TONS of audios ideas - please know that submitted scripts can take months to become fully realized.
-Tips and gifts are given freely with no expectation of anything in return [save my immense gratitude]. As a policy, I try not to call individuals out publicly to thank them for tips/gifts. Thank you for understanding.
-Please NEVER feel pressured to tip/gift more than what you are paying to be here. This is becoming my full time job and it's my duty to get as much of your money as I can while giving you something worthwhile and wonderful so we can both sleep well at night after doing [business] together :)
-New My Venus stamps are in. If you ordered merch never made it to you please reach out to me so I can sort that out. I will be getting NJ back on Sept 1 and we have plans for a lot more stuff. Thank you so much for your patience. We really want to make unique and valuable options to represent the work.
-Please do not dox me. If I am ousted, I cannot continue being drRapture. Thank you.
-There are 3-4 friends [who I consider family] who's names are connected to my Google Account, eBay address, Venmo and PayPal. I promise none are me. Please don't contact them.
-I do not live at any address associated with my merch.
-This relationship is parasocial and parasexual so please be aware of what that means for you. We are all adults here. You are free to do as you wish. I only ask you take care of yourself [whether that means we see you more or less]
-You never owe me an explanation for leaving my Patreon. In fact, you owe me nothing but what you pay to be here. Just as I owe you nothing but the promise that I will put my best art forward while I have your support. Our relationship is one of artist and patron [and I truly cherish that, I hope you realize]
-Please direct any tips this month to NJ's laptop fund on Throne.
-Thanks to Quinn. Without them, there would be no drR,
-Thanks to you from the fucking bottom of my fucking heart.
[okay time to turn another unboxing into a Quinn audio]
Edit: in regards to the price increase, if you're in the Hand Tier you will still get access to everything for the same price [$10/mo] so you won't notice a change 🥰

We love reinforced boundaries in this house (waiting room?)! I truly believe these kinds of check ins are the reason this little pocket community hasn’t had the privacy issues that have become way too common in the larger Quinn universe. Let’s keep it up!

2024-07-12 18:28:14 +0000 UTCA gift. Is always what comes to mind for me. I never elaborated. Mr. VA, this character you have created and so generously shared with us has touched so many. You’ve made some feel seen, others feel inspired, others feel included, the list goes on. Your art is a gift. Can someone be just a spectator of art? That’s me. I am far from an artist but I absorb every aspect of it. The writing, the production, the vocals, the performance, the team behind it making the magic happen. In all art. Like today I’ll be listening to the Death of Slim Shady in order. 😌 I already know where he’s going with this and in love already. I’ve been listening to him all week, preparing for this. Ok, cmon brain back on track. Thank you for drRapture. I’m in a culture drowning in machismo and I have been chiseling away at it. Your character handed me the keys to the bulldozer. I’ve had the courage to speak to more women about it. We have “EmpowerMeets” once a month to support and encourage each other. Who knew men like this existed? Who knew women can be sexually expressive and be accepted? Not judged? I’ve learned that it’s not my libido, it’s that I’m demisexual (sorry if that’s tmi). Also, being in this community. Reading the comments of the most kick ass Patrients, has been the sweetest treat. Thank you, Patrients.

2024-07-12 02:24:09 +0000 UTCLiterally the best $10 I will spend every month. I'm not sure I've seen a more supportive, beautiful, feral place on the internet and that stems from you, Mr. VA. Your creation of both drRapture and this space comes with clear, strong boundaries and a level of authenticity and [true] lies that allows us this insane amount of freedom both sexually and creatively. So thank [you] and that beautiful muse of yours Nurse Joy, I am truly grateful for your work and your art. It feeds my dirty, dark soul in all the best ways.

2024-07-12 01:38:19 +0000 UTCI adore it when you call us lovelies. 🥰 Thank you [Doc] for establishing an amazing place where we can be feral AND creative with a whole gaggle of delightful ladies. This wonderful space is a testament to and reflection of you, sir. (Yes, yes it is!) I hope everyone will heed Doc’s advice re: writing. I love getting to use my brain and have rediscovered the joy of writing. Words will never adequately describe how much I adore it here… at least not in my hands. Thank you Doc for literally everything. You are a true gem. Thanks Patrients for being so fucking awesome. 💜

2024-07-12 01:24:07 +0000 UTCI love the anonymity of the VAs. I don’t want to know who you are. I like the version that’s in my head. I’ve never understood why people try to figure out who y’all are. You deserve to only share what you feel comfortable with. Nurse Joy, thank you for sharing doc with us! I hope we get to hear you in more audios.

2024-07-12 01:12:56 +0000 UTCAnd will echo everyone else that I’m EXTREMELY grateful for this space and to the humans behind drR and NJ, thank you thank you thank you

2024-07-12 00:33:58 +0000 UTC*Ahem* is the hand tier increasing next month as well? I’m on a spending freeze right now but also enjoy being grandfathered into a discount (this is exactly why I’m terrible with money and currently so broke) hahahaha 🥲
MJ
2024-07-12 00:33:18 +0000 UTCSo may apt things have been said already, both by you, Dr dearest, and everyone else. So just to add my appreciation for the time and dedication you put into this. It is seen/heard/felt/appreciated and absolutely should be duly rewarded! I hope you're also taking in all the protective energy there is for you and your beloved. Hag's revenge to anyone who messes with you guys. Finally, finally, thank you for opening up this insanely creative space, it gives me phenomenal amount of joy right now. Fuck all sleep, she says, hanging out here at 2 am, but just so much mental, emotional and physical pleasure! 💕

2024-07-12 00:12:30 +0000 UTCOk, but see, we diverge *slightly* in thought. I mean I know I’m not gonna share charcuterie and vape with you guys, but yall are 100% in my heart. Like, [true lie] all you want to, but the kind of person you are is pretty clear. And Joy basically lights up the night sky. So, imma just go ahead on and say Mr. And Mrs. Voice Actor are two of my favorite friends who I’ll never meet. 💜💜. Look kid, I’m older than you so shaddup.
