[Important!] Weekly Update [03-23-24] - The Countdown!
🕑 Added 2024-03-23 15:38:53 +0000 UTCGood day sexy agents! We've got important stuff to think about today, but first, some basic housekeeping. Progress on the two upcoming Storybooks have been slower than I would like them to be. Day-job and family (let call it) decisions (for now) have been at the forefront lately.
That said, the Black Book project gained progress as planned and I've got everything ready to begin producing Classified: Maid for Combat. So the first teaser is coming next week!
Now for the less fun part.
A few days ago one of you asked 'Is the new Gumroad policy going to be affecting your rollout?' and at the time, even though I had the feeling it was certainly going to be troublesome, I hadn't quite visualized how critical that issue was going to be.
Let's put things into perspective: Everything we do here through your support on Patreon leads to the creation of Storybooks that I can then publish and archive on Gumroad for anyone outside our usual community to discover and grab. In a way, it is literally the final stage of the production pipeline.
Without that platform I feel the structure of our current system loses some of its coherence. In a way, it makes Patreon more important, as it becomes the only way to get a copy of the Storybooks. But at the same time, we have no idea how long Patreon will hold the line in regards to adult-content.
If we add the pieces, the outlook becomes a little more grim. The shutdown of the P - x - v account. The shutdown of Gumroad. The eventual shutdown of Patreon? All of these events cut down on our reach. And a community that can't grow usually withers.
So, at this time, I don't really have a plan beyond keeping my eyes open for alternative platforms. It's quite a bummer but we aren't out of the fight. We still have so much more to explore, so I'm not willing to just lie down and take it.
For the time being there won't be any changes to the plan. Black Book will be released as planned in about a month. And both the Strikeforce and Classified series will resume production. Teasers and Sneak Peeks will roll out as usual in the coming days. And the final Storybooks will be delivered to you based on the traditional tier system.
However, I think we can definitely expect some kind of shift as we adjust to the new situation in the coming month. We will take a few punches, but when we spot an opening we'll strike back in full force!
I am massively thankful for all of your support so far, I love sharing this journey with you and I'm looking forward to what comes next with excitement. When I said I have a 'passion for erotic combat' I meant it, and I know you do too.
Onwards and upwards!

I guess that's how the world works. :( No worries, we'll find our way through the storm!

Very sad to see yet another site do this to artists. The banks have too much power :(
