Patreon Announcement/Sort of Update

I've already posted this on my Patreon, but I'm posting it here as well for transparency's sake!

Work on CH12 has been absolutely tormenting me for the past year and I think, aside from personal circumstances, part of the reason is because I'm having Patreon Content Fatigue. You know, in case the increasingly erratic uploads and me running out of ideas for snippets weren't making that obvious 😭

So I've decided September (and potentially also October/November depending on how long it takes for CH12 to get finished) I'm going to focus solely on working on CH12. Instead of new character or romance snippets, I will be releasing previews and sneak peeks for CH12 every couple of days as I work on writing for it. I'll be aiming to post at least 2 previews every week, and they'll be available for all tiers. Hopefully that will also help me get some updates out for you guys on how progress is going!

After CH12 has been finished I may need to reassess how I'm handling the bonus snippet thing. I will still be writing them, of course, but at a certain point it's starting to feel like I'm just forcing it, and I want to avoid falling into that type of burnout as much as possible.

Of course, for those who want to pledge to my Patreon, you will still gain access to all the existing snippets for your tier, that won't change! You just won't see any new ones for a while and in exchange you will get CH12 previews instead. Possibly even for CH13/14 as well, since sometimes I write a scene and decide it doesn't fit in the current chapter, and save it for a future chapter instead.

I'm hoping this will take off some of the pressure that's causing my writer's block.

I apologize for what a long wait it has been, and I thank you so much for all your patience, your support, and your understanding while I try and defeat CH12 💖

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 29/Sept/2023

Oh my word, guys! Next week I will be starting writing Book Four! And am I ever unbelievably eager to get this particular story on the go! I don’t think I’ve ever been so hyped to start writing as this one :D

Though saying that, I do have social media days next week, which should be very fun as the results of the Patreon poll for the Autumn/Spooky scenarios are now in!

So Alima, Haley, Sin and Maaka won, and I’ll be writing the AU romantic October Scenario specials for those! And I always love writing me some autumnal moments :D

I also need to actually start the writing of Book Four with some of the tidying up coding I talked about before. But that’ll actually save me a lot of time in the end, as I’ve done some learning on how to smooth out some coding! Then there’s also the immense task of writing and coding the Book Three synopsis and character choices for those who aren’t transferring over characters from previous books!

After that though, Chapter One begins and, honestly, I’m actually shaking with excitement writing that I’m so ready to begin, hehe!

So it’ll be a busy one next week, but so worth it as I finally get to start on what I’ve been planning! Can’t wait to fall back into the romances with Unit Bravo, introduce new characters, put the MC in even more intense situations, and finally bring the baddy to life.

And as our villain for Book Four says, “Meor’dal, you’ve never met anyone like me before.” ;D

Hope you all have the most amazing weekend! We’ll be offline as usual, so I’ll talk you all again next week and try not to make to make excited pterodactyl shrieking noises when Book Four begins, lol!

Hello hello everybody! It is time for another months progress, and I am so excited to share with you, all the things I have gotten my grimy little gremlin hands on. First off, what we are all here for; writing. I have been on fire, to be honest! Last month I churned through the last of the first batch of erotica stories (there's 6 (!!!) of them on my patreon already) and set them up for publishing along with two more unseen ones- I'm still going over the logistics of where to publish for the best revenue (I know this sounds boring, but I have to make an income somehow, and hopefully find another audience as a smut writer on other platforms 💀 I love writing it so why not!), and I am making headway, learning the ins and outs of self publishing. On patreon, there are also two Q&A's that are written in a bit more fictional manner, in character: a more fun way than just writing answers straight up and down. I have enjoyed those so much! There's a bunch of other stuff I haven't even mentioned- honestly, I have to say, I'm really proud of my output on Patreon even though I have been really anxious about writing full time. It's going great! I have to thank my new friends and support-network on discord; you make this all worth it. I cannot express how fun it is to shoot the shit with you in vc, gaming together, or seeing your shenanigans in gen or your in depth theories (thanks for the brainworms!) or memes or staring longingly at the fanfic channel or drooling over your art (ouro related or not) or... Gah. You are just amazing people, and I will waste no opportunity in saying so. Thank you forever and ever and ever an-

When it comes to OUROBOROS, I am happy to announce that the next chapter is damn near done! I was halted because of the discovery that dashingdon is no longer supported by it's creator, and have been working on the twine version ever since, earlier than I expected- it's tough work, but I am so excited to make this an actual game made entirely by myself, and not submitting to a company that quite frankly leaves a bitter aftertaste. It is taking long to make because I want to make it mobile compatible from the start, which there isn't a lot of resources for. But I'm doing my best! The plan is that I will be posting the next chapter for Patreons in the coming month, and then treat you to a full twine release here on tumblr. I haven't made any rewrites when porting the twine build, but I would like to do that too... so we will see; this plan is not set in stone. I will just have to see how it evolves over the next month. Yes, beta-readers is still on the schedule, just holding off a little while while I wrap my head around this new coding landscape.

Other than that, I have been working on the set aesthetic for ouro, which has been really hard, a lot harder than I expected. You all know I am no wizard when it comes to graphic design, but I want to at least develop a set palette and imagery and portraits that is cohesive to the story. The work is ongoing, and I don't have much to say about it- even though it is taking a lot of my brain power. I'm hoping I can come to some kind of set and in depth conclusion that I am happy with before the twine release, because I want the game to feel like a treat to open up and play; a world to get lost in.

That's it! If you want to see weekly and more in depth dev-logs, you know where to go. I hope you have an amazing day or night, and we will see each other soon. xx

Ok so I hardly hardly do this

But my friends and fans who have a Patreon

Please report this person

They stole a good friend of my, a brother to me honestly fic and is charging 7.00 for it. Mr. Chaos’s Chaos Effect which is a Yugioh si fic, really good one in my opinion. He’s been writing it for four years now and doesn’t need this

So please! If you have a Patreon call this person out to the fandom and report him!

[koko2unite]

was really calm before but the reality kinda sets in now that i just lost 20k followers haha...

PSA! Leech Alert!

There is a bottom feeder amongst us, fanfic writers and readers, this creature here is stealing work from other authors and placing it behind a paywall on patreon currently with 210 subs at $10 dollars a pop. Needless to say I'm more than a little ticked to discover my own fic Secrets of the Hidden Leaf was added yesterday. I've filed a DMCA claim, and reported their page. Please take a look to see if your work, or someone else you know's work is up there and report them so this leech can be shut down.

FYI: this was brought to my attention by Project Copy-Knight. They have an option for authors to opt in for automatic alerts when someone is stealing your work. This is their discord if you have questions. Opt-in option to receive automatic alerts when someone is leeching off of you. Spreadsheet of stolen works.

EA should have put their foot down when people tried that early access shit and started handing out legal papers. Patreon destroyed the Sims modding scene. You don't see this shit in any other modding community. Fallout London, a completely new experience built on the Fallout 4 engine, is being made COMPLETELY FREE and dipshits are trying to charge 20 USD for a purse they ripped from MikuMikuDance. Smh.

you're so right nonny. EA likes this tho, they'd never stop it. They wanna replace patreon and make it their own so. It's up to us in the community to just make our own way and ignore paywallers if we don't like it... otherwise nothing else to be done really.

Progress Update 11

So good news and bad news. Bad news is that the part I’m working on still isn’t done. I’m 3/4 right now. I think episode 3 will be released in 3 parts depending on if I feel too much time has passed between updates. I wanted to finish for the 1st but, just not possible. It might not seem that much when you’re reading but when it’s a lot of passages it does take time, especially if those passages get long. I got very close though, an update is near for that.

Good news is that I think I’m dropping the first side story for the Patreon tomorrow. Had it stored long enough. It adds some context for dynamic in the Crown household. I’m sure those who read it will like the POV. I’m thinking of dropping some content 3 weeks out of the month. It’s not that expensive, two tiers (that’s me being less magnanimous and more lazy).

Anyway tootles 😛💜

Tagged by @catchingbigfish @garthcelyn @brazenlip and @imbrisvastatio to play Heads Up 7 Up.

The last lines I wrote are the final lines to the revised version of One Feeling Only, so instead of posting those I'll post the last lines from the previous page.

[EXPLICIT]

"I have a secret to tell you, Kieran. Do you want to hear it?" Fiona asks in a tone even sweeter than the fat plum she feeds him as she speaks. When she says his name, pleasure makes him weak and he collapses onto her chest, suddenly unable to hold up his own weight. His face buried in her cleavage, Kieran nods helplessly. Fiona lifts Kieran's weight off of her easily, laying him out on his back. She pushes his damp hair out of his face and behind his ear, and Kieran moans to be treated with such tenderness by a being so far above him in every way. His cock throbs, twitching in the air. Fiona ignores it, instead leaning down close to whisper into Kieran's uncovered ear. "I lied."

from One Feeling Only draft 2, complete at 5k That word count is almost 2k more than the fluff version! And at last, y'all can know the freshly chosen character names. Also Kieran is reacting so strongly to absolutely fuck all because of, like, sex magic stuff. Kind of feel like this looks like bad writing without that context lmfao. Anyway.

This is once again eight sentences rather than seven, once again because the eighth sentence was the first sentence of its paragraph.

I'm going to... try to tag people to play that I think might be into this? akfjks. @marigoldispeculiar @jezifster @afterdarkwithcoffee @msallisonripley @sibleystamps hghhwhgh two short but that's all I got.

i wonder if you guys would like to see me lifestream my art?

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update 14/April/2023

Aaaahhhhh!!! Book Three is out! People have played it! People are enjoying it!

*incoherent screaming*

I have been such a happy buzz all week! :D

But I did manage to get my brain to work past the internal ecstatic dancing in order to get a lot done too, hehe!

I wanted to make sure I was on top of any bug fixes that came through and get those back asap. There's a stat-based one I'm still working on checking out, hopefully will find the issue with that soon, but all the rest I've managed to send back without problem.

Around that, I managed to lightly plan out the opening to Book Four, which is different than my original thoughts, but I think this works WAY better. The original idea I had will now just come later at the start but my original plan had it opening right in the middle of the action like Book Three (which is a preference of mine) but I realised I really didn't want that this time around.

I also managed to look through the variables and coding etc to start looking at what I can streamline. A bit of housekeeping, as it were, lol! I'm still learning a lot about coding with each book, so hopefully each one will get smoother to write as I go!

Also got to answer Book Three asks, which was SO much fun! Getting to see everyone's excitement over Book Three just made me even more pumped for Book Four!

And I also managed to schedule up the Spring Scenario Specials on Patreon after going over those again to check for possible spoilers (think A's has a minor spoiler for Book Three, but I have noted it!):

Golden Memories (Nate/Nat Special) - 12th April

Looking after Dylan, the golden retriever, brings back happier memories for Nate/Nat, as well as a chance to get some quality couple time!

-

"Take your shot" (Adam/Ava Special) - 19th April

A game of paintball turns into an impromptu training session—but both the MC and Adam/Ava seem to be having far more fun than expected...

-

You are my Haven (Felix/Farah Special) - 26th April

After receiving a voucher for a couple's treatment, Felix/Farah and the MC head into the Big City to take full advantage of the relaxation together.

-

Leave it in Dust (Mason/Morgan Special) - 3rd May

Mason/Morgan reluctantly (very reluctantly...) agrees to help the MC give their apartment a Spring spruce-up. But when Mason/Morgan finds some of the MC's memories hidden beneath the dust, they realise how much more they want to know about them...

--

Next week, I am really going to throw myself into Book Four planning now! My brain is practically exploding with ideas, and I need to get them down and start organising where I want things and how it's going to happen.

And plan for that big formal ball scene we've all been waiting for...

Masquerade, anyone?

;D
