*Important Announcement - October and Beyond*
Added 2022-09-26 05:53:23 +0000 UTCHi everybody! I was hoping to record a video announcement about this, but in the interest of time, I'll do a text post. This one's gonna be a doozy, too.
So, first of all, I'll start with two things:
1) The Patreon will be active again on October 1, and all of the existing content will remain available to those who are here to catch up with older reactions. That aspect of the Patreon will be business as usual - feel free to stay and catch up as long as you like. :-)
2) I will be recording a reaction for the next Doctor Who special, and it will be in Tier I. There isn't a release date for that special yet, but lots of people seem to think it will be in October. But who knows? Whenever it airs, I'll be reacting to it.
Okay, here's where things really change. Other than the new DW special, I won't be creating any new content for the Patreon for the remainder of the year. Yup - no new content for the rest of 2022 aside from the DW special.
The reason is because I started a new job in late August, and it is a fabulous job, but it is very time-consuming and a big shift in my schedule. I was hoping to use September as a test month, to see how much content I could create while doing the job & all of the other things I do with my life, and I couldn't get a single reaction recorded. Yikes.
Granted, I'm still adjusting to these schedule changes so it could be that I might be able to re-start reactions again in the near future, which is why I'm only saying no new content for the next few months. I don't think I'll ever be able to make as much content as I have in the past, but it might be possible to resume some reactions once I get used to everything.
So, going forward, the Patreon will remain open and functional to those who are here to catch up with the existing content. (You may or may not see those older reactions going up on YouTube - I haven't even gotten around to seeing how much I will or won't be able to edit!) But yes, sadly, no new Patreon content for the rest of the year.
We do have the new Doctor Who special coming up, so I may see some of you for that, but if you're not interested in that reaction, I have to recommend that you de-pledge and/or switch from a 'pledge' to a 'follow' before October 1st, because the Patreon itself will be active again for those watching older reactions and those who are staying for the DW special.
For everyone else - thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all the support, for all the recommendations, for your comments, and for taking the time to enjoy all these fantastic stories with me. I've had so much fun, and I hope you have, too! I hope I'm able to start reactions again in the future, so if you're interested in that, be sure to check in from time to time.
Feel free to leave any comments or questions below, and thank you all once again for everything! XOXO FWR

Hi Ian! I know, the timing is not great! But that's a good idea - I think I can do that one more Classic Who reaction, and I'll actually post it in Tier I along with the upcoming special. I hate to think of people pledging $3 for just one Classic Who reaction.

2022-09-28 05:37:15 +0000 UTCThis reminds me of how 13 felt when Ryan & Graham left. One heart happy, one heart sad. Congrats on the job but sad to see the end of classic Who reaction (for now) I'll stick around for the special as I love this era so like seeing others react to it.

2022-09-27 21:08:11 +0000 UTCFollowing on from a part of what Magus said: You were about to react to a Classic story which would 1) have made for a truly great reaction! (to judge from how other reactors have behaved); and 2) would have made for a natural 'letting go' moment - for you to either continue from somewhere down the line;or not at all. Would it be too much to request that,in addition to the upcoming Special, you could also watch (as a sort of farewell reaction) this particular story (the first story of Season 10)..?
