Happy New Year! (updates and new schedule)

Hello hello everyone!

I just thought I'd drop a message here for you all to make sure there's a clear line on what's happening in the new year. For those out the loop, I took a little break over Christmas, but I'm back now and I've got a plan to get back into audios right off the bat.

So first things first, now that we've got a bit of a regular audience here, I want to talk schedules. Up until now I've been doing two audios a week. When you add that onto the F4M script I write once a week to keep active in scriptwriting communities, that's three scripts a week and two audios. That, as much as I do enjoy it, is something that's very easily gonna present problems. I obviously can't do this full time just yet (believe me I'd like to), so that rate of production, I feel, presents a bit of a threat of burnout. So I'm planning to pull that back to one audio a week, which I feel I can very easily keep up with. This was always gonna happen, you can't keep up manic "new hobby" energy forever, even if you love it, and I don't intend to try and force that.

I'm honestly not just doing this to slack off, it's genuinely been touch and go with my previous rate of production. There were days audios would be finished minutes before upload. With the extra time, this means that I can actually get stuff to my paying members in advance like I said I was going to, rather than rushing to get everything out of the gate as soon as I can.

TL;DR Less content a week to make sure that I keep it consistent.

I'm thinking public releases of audios on Thursdays, and early access as soon as it's ready, which brings me onto my other announcement; Patreon benefits.

This week coming, I've got a New Years themed audio, a nice little slice of life 'morning after' thing to start us off slow and comfy. Paid members should see that Monday or Tuesday, meanwhile it should go up on the Reddit on Thursday. After that goes up though, I'm going to try a poll so that paid up Patreon members can vote on what's coming along next. I've wanted to do this for a while, but now that there's four of you, I'm not in danger of being stuck with an embarrassing three way tie. Also, for paid members, please do remember, you've got first go when it comes to making requests. If you want something specific, please do ask and I'll put it on my to-do pile.

In other news, I'm looking to try and sort a collab audio or two sometime soon, and I'm pleased to say I've finally gotten into an act 3 romance with Astarion in BG3, so the story of the vampire twink may continue sooner rather than later. I've also gotten some art commissioned so I can stop using old video game characters for my PFP's ^_^

So all that said, I think I'm raring and ready to go with this. You're all wonderful, and I hope 2024 is a good one for all of you.

Much love-

OGY
