!Patreon Is Open · 5:25am Mar 22nd, 2021
Well, just as planned, my Patreon page is now up and running. I'd like to start by explaining why exactly I've been gone so long and why I decided to open a Patreon. As you all know, times have become really, really hard over the last year or so. First off, I had a falling out with someone I thought was a very good friend and my own father. Not long after, I had a strong episode of suicidal depression that was so bad that my manager at the time forced me to take a leave of action and begin seeing a therapist. A month or so after, I lost my grandmother, whom I was very close to, to cancer. Then the pandemic hit and we all know how that went. My rent was forced upwards and I was forced to get a new job to try and make up for the sudden change. Only a few months after beginning to work for the new company, however, I caught the infamous Covid-19 and the company used this as a chance to very quietly remove me from their workforce. Since then, I have been attempting to find a new job and place to live, neither of which I have succeeded in.
This leads us to Patreon. While all this was going on, I managed to complete twelve full-length chapters with two illustrations a piece so that I could come back. I will be posting these chapters and illustrations on Patreon once a month, every month, from here on out. What does this mean for my audience here? Well, I will not stop updating stories on this, or any other, website my stories appear on. However, this does mean that anyone not on my Patreon will have to wait an additional month to see the illustrations, which will be released teaser-style for the upcoming chapter, and then another month for the chapter proper.
Like any good Patreon, though, there are other tiers available as well. The basic package to receive the chapters and illustrations 2-3 months before the public is only $5 USD with the next two tiers being $10. Between these you can either choose the NSFW package that gives you access to adult themed illustrations that are based on the chapter or those just before it, or the SFW package that gives you access to once a month livestreams over on my Twitch. Next are the $13 dollar tiers, again split between NSFW and SFW, NSFW giving you both livestreams and adult content and SFW giving you livestreams access to monthly polls to decide what gets posted next. $15 unlocks the best of both tiers, $18 gives you access to a private discord with no NSFW, and $20 gets you access to everything.
I hope you guys understand my reasons for doing this. I also hope that if you don't, you'll at least forgive me.
