Weekly update: Somehow, It's All Working out

All the aprons have now been sent*

(excluding people who will have their renewal at the start of October). I recently checked my PO box and it seems I did get a few return-to-senders but 5 out of 175 isn't too bad. I'll be contact those of you who I got the apron kicked back to sometime in the next week or so, I'm real busy with indieween so I'm not sure exactly when.

I'm probably gong to get that done today after writing this post (yesterday for all of you) meaning that by the time you all read this they'll be ready to go; it'll just be the matter of finding tome to go and drop them o...

yes, I am among the many who've been hit by YouTube's restricted mode thing.

However, while I am annoyed, I am not concerned. I've got all of you after all and Patreon surpassed YouTube a while ago to be the largest part of my income. Thanks a million for letting me be able to not sweat stuff like this.

Hey Saucy Ones,

real quick before we get into things:

IF YOU PLEDGED OR RENEWED FROM AUGUST 2ND TO 31ST PLEASE CHECK AND SEE IF YOU HAVE A MESSAGE FROM ME.

There were a handful of yearly pledges whose payment methods failed to go through. This is a perfectly normal thing, credit card companies LOOOOOOVE to aggressively police anything even remotely related to NSFW stuff online, and since Patreon allows that to some extent random declines are surprisingly common. I only bri...

Heads Up: All Wave One Aprons Have Been Sent

Hey Saucy Ones,

As of about half an hour ago I dropped off the last of all the aprons for all of you who pledged or renewed by August 1st. I got really lucky and the additional run of patches and pins came in yesterday evening so instead only going up to the 150th apron I was able to get them all.

Just to say it one more time,

If you get an email saying that you have a package at a USPS Smartlocker, that is legit: it's your apron.


There was only like, 2 peo...

Weekly Update: Well that was Fast

Hey Saucy Ones,

So those aprons are SCHMOOVIN' to you right about now...

So the aprons are already arriving which is really impressive considering that I brought them to the post office and hour and change before they closed on Saturday. The first ones arrive early morning on Monday which i know because for a few of you I saw that there was a nearby USPS locker for parcels and shipped them there for safekeeping since porch pirates are always a thing.

Quick PSA for HiJ Pledges

Hey Saucy Ones,

Real quick, if some time today or Monday you get an email from USPS (the United States Postal Service) saying you have a tracking number for a package; that is most likely your apron, pin, and patch. I just dropped off all the patron gifts for everyone in the US who pledged or renewed by August 1st and I finally learned how to automatically send you tracking updates for parcels. Hopefully they'll scan them in some time today, but there is well ...

Hey Saucy ones,

so before we do anything, Please check your message inbox on Patreon because some of you who are getting an apron either don't have an address listed or you may have accidentally ticked the "opt out of physical rewards" box.

Most of your have gotten back to me but there's still a few of you I need info from. If I don't have info by next week I'm just gonna have to assume you don't want an apron and won't make anymore efforts to get them to you. That being said, i...
