Update
Added 2024-07-19 06:00:07 +0000 UTCJust a quick update, I'm going to be out today trying to revitalise and de-stress after what has been a very tough few weeks.
For those who don't know I've had to remove my comics from Gumroad due to Stripe objecting to their 'NSFW' or 'Fetish' content, I've had tech problems with my laptop which has really slowed me down and earlier this week, one of my closest musician friends passed away.
It's all hit me rather hard and I've felt I've lost my way a bit. Spent a lot of time trying to get my head together and work out what to do.
Regarding the comics, I am thinking that the best course of action will be to add them to the shop here on Patreon. Will look at other options too and thank you for the suggestions I've had. Going to take a bit of time to do it whatever I decide as there are a lot of comics to upload but, as I have more comics/stories planned, I will get it sorted.
I have been gutted about having to remove them as the whole reason I started the Catnap stuff was to show people who enjoyed DiD that it wasn't something awful and evil. But sadly, society still does not accept that, still doesn't accept that it isn't always sexual and sinister and that those of us that enjoy it are not monsters. I don't blame Gumroad, they would be in line for potential fines of over $500,000 if they allowed me to carry on selling there. I have spoken to them and they've been very understanding and helpful. They are trying to help me receive the money I'm currently owed but Stripe have suspended my payments and the last I heard, it is unlikely they will lift that suspension.
My laptop issues, I don't know what to do about those. It's old, lagging and struggling to keep up with the work I'm throwing at it. Ideally, I just need a new one but funds do not cover that at the moment and other priorities (like bills and food) have to come first. BUT, I'm doing what I can to work around it so stuff will still be done.
Speaking of which, there will be some updates coming up for you...keep an eye out for them, they're all scheduled ;)
Regarding my friend, I can't do much about that one lol. Sure he'll be playing some rock 'n' roll and playing the fool wherever he is :D Will miss him but I'm glad I had the time I did with him and we got to do some very fun music together over the years.
I will be in touch again later, but for now, I'm going to try and chill.
