Royal Librarian (new tier) and other logistical news
-At the suggestion of several members of the community, I will be creating a new tier where I will write and publish a long novel once a month (around 10 pages of text only) of inanimate TF (really whatever I am inspired to write or develop at that moment, but always keeping within the current content guidelines), until October I will be publishing stories that I have already done but not published (commissions) and starting in November I will be evaluating whether to put that monthly story up to a vote or not (or under what mechanics it can be made compatible). This will not affect the 1-2 stories I usually upload each month for the $5 tier, especially for the monthly fanfic/original story) how much would you pay for that tier to see that story monthly? (considering that it will have a higher quality standard than other text stories/novels due to how long and detailed it may be, assuming a seal of quality in itself).
In this case, this new tier is now open (costing $10) and this month's story is already published (a 40-page commission I had saved since 2023, "Jess Misfortune", although the rest of the months will be one or two stories adding up to at least 10 pages in total)

Also, starting in July, we will begin publishing one older story (from previous years) per month in full to the general public (probably only on Pixiv, where it's easier to publish multiple pages at once). This story will be published once a month in the last week of the month. It may also be prequels to upcoming stories to aid understanding and serve as additional publicity for new works.
And finally, we will be resharing previous works (although not complete, but pre-existing publications) once or twice a week (in addition to the weekly work) on Bluesky and Twitter/X (in the first case, we would publish from scratch, and in the second, we would retweet the pre-existing publication). The previous stories we reshare will likely all be fanfics or fanfic commissions, since those tend to be the ones that attract the most viewers on those platforms.
Remember that we are open to suggestions regarding our operational logistics on our Discord server in the #suggestions channel.

Huge discount of 33.3% (-$1800!) [offer still open!!!]
-Due to the personal circumstances (as I have already told some of you before) I'm going through right now (partially going into debt again to pay for the tablet we work with, in addition to replacing the ergonomic chair and other unplanned expenses that further strained my survival at least until November, when I've paid off the deferred expenses and settled my credit card, not to mention the economic instability expected in my country), I've decided to open commissions for a set of 5 comic pages per month for the next 3 years for a one-time payment of $3,600 USD (instead of the $5,400 total that set of 5 pages would cost (since 5 pages per month are 60 pages, or 180 pages in 3 years, if each of those 180 comic pages cost the usual price of $ 30, the 180 pages would cost $ 5,400 in total, but being sold for $ 3,600, it is as if each page cost about $ 20 instead of $ 30 for whoever bought this package at a discount, and you would then be saving about $1800 in total. I was not planning on making this offer again, but extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. I had already had a deal like this (the same) from January 2021 to December 2024 and it was quite satisfactory for both parties, so I hope to find someone interested as soon as possible. In this case, the commissions will be made from January 2026 to December 2028, and I will use the money to ensure the payments of the electricity bill (since that is not included in the payments I make with the usual Patreon earnings, especially after the tablet issue, since what I pay in deferred payments for the tablet per month is approximately the cost of my electricity bill, as well as being able to respond to any unforeseen events while my financial situation normalizes and also pay for some pending procedures. One person told me they were interested in accepting the deal for September, and another in January, but I will give priority to whoever pays as soon as possible, especially since this month I have to pay the electricity bill again since it is due every two months (for more information, ask me on Discord via private message.)
-I remind you that access to the Discord server is manual (through the link I leave in the posts), in my opinion it is better and safer that way, and also consider that granting ranks according to patreon / fanbox is also manual (meaning that every time someone enters my Discord server I will ask them what their patreon / fanbox nickname is, so that you won't be surprised if someone with my nickname (irinaizumi) asks you for that information in your personal discord, and at the beginning of each month I'll check using an excel spreadsheet to verify if each member of the Discord server is still subscribed to Patreon / fanbox or not to keep or lose the rank (until renew their subscription again). You can be in my Discord server without being subscribed to Patreon and be able to access the community channels, but without having access to the rank that allows you to see Patreon content on Discord.
-I also remind you that about any old and recent content that for some reason has been lost or misplaced over time, or that is not fully well documented in Patreon / fanbox throughout these 5 years due to the change regarding the logistics of uploading content over time, you can ask me privately on Discord and I'll share them with you (since I've saved everything we've done to date). Remember, I'm open to hearing tips and recommendations if it help improve our logistics and the community.
