Announcement: An End to My Patreon Time

Hi everyone! Since you've already see the post title and image, I'll skip any lead up to this and just rip the band-aid off the rest of the way: I've decided to end my time as an active movie reactor/Patreon poster. 

I've been agonizing over this decision for a while. I still love reacting to the videos, and hearing from people who enjoy watching them. Knowing I was making some people out there laugh or providing a bright spot in some rough times meant--and means--a lot to me, and I'm especially grateful to all of you who came here to show me your additional support. 

The trouble is that I'm also getting burned out. Even when I take hiatus breaks, I find reacting still takes up a big part of my mind, knowing I need to get back to it, trying to figure out how to get views, etc, and makes it harder for me to focus on other projects I want to be devoting energy to. Life is also just busier now than it used to be, leaving me less time to devote to videos. 

So, after this month, I won't be posting here anymore. Still to come in May here: an Anaconda ciderpunk watch, a Mary Reilly first-time reaction, and a Dog Soldiers rewatch after seeing it years ago. May is a long month, however, so I may sneak another one in before the 31st. I'm thinking Firestarter, since I never did see that...

I'll be leaving this page open to paid subscribers, however, on the chance that some people who find my videos on YouTube want to come here to see the full-length versions of anything. But there won't be any additional content in the future. (In other words, I recommend cancelling your subscriptions before the end of May so you won't continue to be charged for nothing.)

I may post one or two more videos on YouTube of some of the reactions I've released here but haven't edited down to short format just yet. I haven't decided. This will come to YouTube slowly, however, as I won't be diving into editing them immediately, if I do. I think I've plateaued in the YouTube algorithm in any case--though I suppose the hiatuses didn't help. 

Note that I'll still be around the Internets if you want to follow me. Mostly I'm only active on Twitter these days (https://www.twitter.com/michaelgmunz). As for what's next for me, creatively: I've got a book idea that I need to get out of my head and onto the page. I'm also pleased to report that someone in Hollywood has written a pilot script for a streaming series based on Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure, and we're now hunting for a producer. It could amount to nothing, but it could (fingers crossed) lead to a series, which, as an indie-author, boggles my mind! 

So, that's the news, I guess. Once again, thank you all for supporting me on here. It really means so much that people are interested enough in what I do to watch, and to stick around with me through the times where I'm not performing as well as I should. Thank you for all your participation, comments, suggestions, and laughs throughout this whole crazy experiment. I wish you all the best.

...Please drink responsibly. ;)
