Major Announcement

If you want a short version this, here’s the rub:

•  I am taking a hiatus from Patreon, and will have it set to paused starting June 1st, meaning those subscribed will not be charged starting then, but no one will be able to subscribe as well. 

• Those who are in the higher Tier will still get their bi-annual bust, so no worries there. ^^

• Stories/Illustrations will still be released from the timeframes August 2024 to May 2025, with votes included per usual. However, once the hiatus is over, I will be resuming writing from the month the hiatus ends.

That’s about all the information for those who want the tl;dr! Thank you so much for sticking with me for so long!

For those more curious:

I typically try to keep my personal life and feelings relatively secret, so this is really hard for me to write. While I still want to keep most of it to myself, I feel everyone who has been kind enough to contribute to the FMG/GTS community deserves at least some explanation. 

I used to love creating content, I really did, but I’m burnt out. The past 2 years have just been me trying to play catch up, and get into the rhythm of producing content, only to end up exhausted and mentally drained. I stopped feeling the love of creation, and instead started transitioning into what I think would be the most lucrative idea even if it cost me my mental state. This is, of course, a horrible philosophy for someone aiming to create. It's also just not who I am.

I’d rather not say why I wanted to have a higher income, but I promise it’s for more than just to get richer. As well, I hold a high bar for myself - even if something takes me years to do - I’ll do it, rather than quit. Though, this time, I’m at a point where those closest to me are saying I need a break. They can tell I'm not well, and are worried for me. My failure to keep up with content creation has chipped away at my mentality to a point that I’m pretty broken.

I thought that the last pause got me into a good rhythm where I could resume as normal, but I guess my own standards did more of a number on me than I thought. ^^;

However, I’d like to say that you guys have been fantastic, and I’ve loved all the support and kind messages you guys have thrown my way! I definitely did this to myself, but I guess I learned my lesson. : p

Anyway, again, this will be a hiatus, not me quitting. The stories will be out when they’re out. Unfortunately, I just can’t bring myself to write at the moment - it hurts. Though, once I get out of my own head, I'm sure it'll be better than ever!

Thank you again to everyone! See you Starside!
