Small note on Patreon's new guidelines
Added 2017-10-29 23:02:08 +0000 UTCAs many of you know, Patreon has changed some of their guidelines regarding adult content this month, which already had the content of some artists pulled. So far I can give you a bit of an all-clear signal that this account hasn't received any notes that deemed my content as inappropriate and asked me for adjustments yet, likely due to the absence of nudity and violence that goes beyond anything you'd see in a cartoon. I had a bit of a feeling this would happen at some point with the more graphical content out there, though I probably hadn't assumed it would happen that soon.
I'll keep you informed in case I receive any notes regarding this in the future, for now it's probably best to continue playing it safe and keep the lighter tone of my previous animations. I wouldn't want to jeopardize this account since it would be extremely difficult continuing these animations without everyone's support here.
Quick note aside, the new animation is coming along decently! Had to take a bit of a sidestep to do a revision on one of Zoe's controllers that kept glitching out, but I'm pretty much back on track and should have new WIP material for you soon! All recent happenings considered I'm second guessing if it would be a good idea to include digestion in this animation, even if it was non-graphical. Might have to resort Zoe just just ending up with a big, wiggly tummy and have the rest implied.

I'd still love to see a digestion version, even if it could be considered more 'graphical'. Maybe as an alternative posted outside of this website with links emailed to backers.

2017-11-02 00:07:58 +0000 UTCOne option is to use dropbox for any extended editions. Other artists send out links after payment processing each month to their archives. Additionally, as I understand the changes, risque material just has to be patron only and hidden from "public view"

2017-10-30 02:25:07 +0000 UTCThe way mainstream cartoons do digestion relatively harmlessly, in the rare instances they do it and continue past the initial ingestion, is just to move to another scene where the predator simply no longer has a large belly and is doing something else. You'd PROBABLY be safe even doing the visible belly shrinking, but if you want an in-between, that might be a way to do it, since it's seen in regular ol' cartoons sometimes.

2017-10-30 01:14:38 +0000 UTCPerhaps 'extended' editions could be posted off-Patreon... I know that's more work but if they're kept lower-quality, etc... perhaps a private link available for patreons through external means. But that's also a lot of a faff so... erf

2017-10-30 01:13:19 +0000 UTCWould it be possible, if the new rules posed a threat, to post whatever content is too iffy, via email, deviantart onedrive, or ekas portal? Genuinely curious as I can imagine that voiding anything while allowing you to give content and receive from us.

2017-10-30 01:03:58 +0000 UTCNo problem! The changes worried me a lot as well so I had to. It's very short unlike some of my journals, it shouldn't take long to read when you can.

2017-10-29 23:44:58 +0000 UTCStill need to see if I can include it in this and have it look somewhat harmless, for now I'm mostly trying to be on the safer side. D:

2017-10-29 23:40:31 +0000 UTCStill need evaluate on everything, for now it's just a safety measure!

2017-10-29 23:39:16 +0000 UTCHappy to hear about that you’re okay with the guidelines. And I hope that digestion will be in a future animation if not this one ;p

2017-10-29 23:38:31 +0000 UTCNote that this contradicts a bit with Nyte's material getting pulled, especially since they also focused on 3D animation. Their animations certainly had a much different tone than what I'm posting and also included nudity, but it certainly proves that they're not as easygoing about it as this statement suggests.

2017-10-29 23:38:11 +0000 UTCYou should definitely be okay... as should other artists, with a few exceptions mainly revolving around underage porn or non-consensual sex. I briefly spoke with the Patreon staff about this, and posted the conclusion in a journal if you're interested: <a href="https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8472846/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8472846/</a>

2017-10-29 23:33:37 +0000 UTCPatreon's CEO sent out an excellent, excellent letter confirming that folks like you have nothing to worry about. They clarified their definition to specifically refer to real people engaging in sexual acts.

2017-10-29 23:31:18 +0000 UTCWill be sad to see the digestion not happening, but if you think that's best then that'll have to be so.
