I am taking a hiatus! Please read!
🕑 Added 2024-11-13 16:25:11 +0000 UTC▷ TLDR; Stay a member, you will not be charged, I will return in a few weeks after a much needed break and the next two Thursdays there WILL be comic posts!
▷ If you recently cancelled your own subscription but want to see what I will post during the hiatus (which wont be much, but still) I would reactivate your membership again before 11pm CST today. That is when I will stop the billing process. No new members (or old members with an inactive sub) will be able to join until I make my return.

*Everything in the images above is written below.
Today I am pausing billing for this patreon. For the last few weeks I have been having more trouble with burnout and I realize I need to step away.
The reasons why you can read at the end, but for those who just want details on how it affects them, read this next part.
By pausing billing it means you will not get charged for being a member of this patreon (until I enable billing again for which i will make a warning post for in the future). I will still post comic pages for the start of Chapter 3 on the 14th and the 21st but after that I will officially be on hiatus to focus on my mind, health, etc.

▷ Details for Billing and Charges
Month-to-month Members:
If you pay your tier fee once a month, you will not be charged while still staying subscribed during my break.
Annual/Yearly Members:
For every month I have billing paused, those months will be added to your subscription. For example, if you pay every year on January 1st but I take a two month break, your payment date will be bumped to March 1st instead.
New Members:
If you are new here and just joined, I'm sorry for the sudden news! But the good thing is, you are a member now. You get to see the start of chapter 3 and anything I post while on hiatus. And for example, if you joined November 10th, normally your next charge would be December 10th. Instead you will be boosted to not pay until a month after I return .
If you decide to CANCEL your membership for any reason while my Patreon is paused, you will not be able to resubscribe until my hiatus is over.
If you STAY subscribed, you will continue to have access to all the current content on Patreon, all your access on discord remains the same and you will be able to see anything I post during the pause.
If you have any other worries, here's the help article for patreon or you can ask in a DM or in the comments below.

▷ As for why I am suddenly taking this hiatus...
Since starting Chapter 2 of Offers in 2021 I have been drawing every day. I would take maybe one day off a month because of a headache or to clean my apartment. A few times I would take a week to move. But I've never had a true hiatus where something life-changing wasn't happening or where I wasn't prepping for a new chapter while taking a break from posts. After 3 years I've been run ragged and I really want to preserve my joy with this comic, these characters, the kink!
And I realized that means I need to step away, just for a few weeks.
As I said above, I will still release pages for Chapter 3 for two weeks, on the 14th and 21st, but that's it. And I'll still be around on the discord, replying to comments, all of that. I am just going to stop working for a bit. Maybe spend longer than 20 minutes a day with my husband, freshen up the house, play a video game for the first time in who knows when, ha?
I love ya'll, you are the reason I can even draw this comic. This series IS my full time job, you supporters ARE my income. I hope you understand and will be patient with me while I step away this holiday season because I already know how much thick and heavy fun I have planned to return with- this time with a renewed passion x)

Thank you ALL for your kind words ; - ; I've had multiple people get upset that I am pausing billing so if anyone wants to donate to help with my bills while I am away, you can go to my kofi. Please don't if you need it yourself! But ya'll are very sweet ♥ https://ko-fi.com/tastescomics

Not everyone feels that way ;v; (Not that I don't deserve it but that some people don't want to pay for zero updates). But I'll put my kofi in the comments for anyone who wants to toss what they would normally pay in subscription for to me there ;v; You are very sweet ♥

You are deserving of a paid vacation! No need to pause patreon, silly

Take all the time you need! Enjoy the holidays and rest. We certainly appreciate all the hard work you've been extending yourself to do! I can't wait to read the comic when you have renewed energy. In the meantime, we'll eagerly, but patiently, wait for your return.
Nox
Thanks, sweet bean x'( ♥

WAH TAKE ALL THE TIME U NEED!!
Nox
Yeah, that's the scary part ;v; During my time away, once I feel level headed again, I might reevaluate how I post and everything. See if I can find a way to have a day off each week like every normal person lol. Thank you for your thoughts ♥

Maybe you need a better solution then that - you shouldnt have to cut off your income everytime you need a break. Maybe in this time you will come up with a procedure, that allows you more free time on a regular basis. Have fun in your freetime!

I hope you take the time you need and enjoy yourself!

I know burnout is a big issue for content creators and everyone needs a break now and then. Your health and mental wellbeing are most important. Take as much time as you need. Have a wonderful holiday and stay safe.
