Hey all,

I've been meaning to set these journals up and make them a regular thing to include you all in our progress as a service and what is going on generally on our end so you are always up-to-date as our most important investors. Our success and what we are ultimately able to do hinges entirely on you. I have allot of updates including some sad news as well as good news too. 

First of all I'd like to thank everyone for making $450 dollars a pack possible. That's $71.25usd for all participating artists in this service before fees and taxes. We are hoping to only increase the value of this service for everyone involved and make this a more lucrative venture for the artists involved to properly substitute a portion of their income however small. A huge round of applause for all of you wonderful wonderful furs out there with a passion for the filthy and nasty. You are making a difference with content creators in this community as well as are supporting something that has never been attempted before. We are pioneering a artpack service for one of the most niche kinks in the furry fandom and its only possible through your support. This is new territory for most of us so we appreciate and thank you for your continued support. We hope to grow this into something more in the future beyond our current state now. 

Future Expansion

 The decision to setup a Gumroad page was delayed, but is now back on-track to be implemented this month now that we have two art packs and are looking into additional opportunities to support our venture while offering convenience to our supporters at the same time. We also have plans to open up a KOFI to support us in special ventures as well as offer something where if ten bucks is too expensive, you can still contribute with no strings attached if you want to support us. I'll provide further updates on these as they happen.

Site Updates for January 2021

Our initial reward tier selection was a tad clunky and not specific as to your benefits. I've since-then taking the time to overhaul everything making everything detailed and organized as well as added some fun art provided by one of the members of our team.

I'll be taking the time to also overhaul a few more things this coming week to make our profile look and feel better.

We're also discussing the prospects of posting WIPs from projects our artists are working on outside of the artpack here. Something to make our Patron page feel more active as well as give you all snippets of what our artists are doing basically before the general public sees the final result.

Team Updates for January 2021

Last, but far from least I have a very, very important announcement to make on our lineup of resident artists. Earlier this week I spoke at length with Rimpala aka Halapmir and have some bad news. Their new job is proving to be taking allot more of their time than they ever anticipated and they no longer believe they can support the service by contributing to our artpacks monthly. They have respectfully requested to bow out of being apart of this project for the time being. While we are sad to see them go even if temporarily there is a silver lining to this news. Halapmir may come back to include their work in our artpacks at a later date. In the meantime I have reached out to them just yesterday and I am very happy to announce Starman aka WickedStar has joined our team. If he clears his que on-schedule with no mishaps he can start creating content for our artpacks as early as March this year. He is a welcomed addition to our team and we're excited to have him onboard. This means anyone in the Silver or Gold tiers has the ability to commission WickedStar as a result with their tier perks once they start participating to our artpacks. So tell all your dirty friends WickedStar is coming to FHFW.

With Halapmir bowing out of our service for now the 5-10% discounts for the gold and silver tiers no longer apply to him. As for WickedStar just have a bit of patience. They won;t start actively participating in this until they are ready, which from what we know will be around this coming march if nothing changes.

Some sad news, but allot of good news all-around for us and the service at-large. We hope to continue to be building this service up with you in-mind. Thank you all for helping us pioneer something that's never been done before for this kink community while supporting some of your favorite artists!

Stay awesome, stay safe, and I hope to have more good news for you all in the future.
