June Schedule (and announcements)

Monthly News

Written novels
-I will return to writing novels to accompany the comics, although not as intensively as before. When you write so many novels (even if they are short) for so many years constantly (one or two per week) it could be somewhat tiring and stressful for me (more so when the novel is like fanfic, based on some anime or video game that I don't know or some text commission where the main idea or concepts don't catch my attention. This time I was late with some text commissions but mainly due to the lack of an ergonomic chair (that prevented me from sitting for long hours for escgf April and most of May) and other issues, but we are practically up to date with the stories except for some very minor details to resolve. This month the only story/comic with a written novel will be the voted original story (and that dynamic of a monthly story, whether original or fanfic, will always have a written novel from now on), while from July onwards there will be 2 stories (the monthly story and a commission with a frequent client who expressly asked me to deliver a written story every time he asks for a commission. I also take this opportunity to comment that the size of the story My monthly original/fanfic will be reduced from 8 pages to 5 pages, as I had to cut it down to sell the remaining pages for the year in groups of 5-page commissions to resolve some unforeseen issues in May.

There will be no new tier on patreon
-There will be no new early access tier for the content, given the widespread rejection from people in the survey on both Discord and Patreon.

Huge discount of 33.3% (-$1800!)
-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.)

Regards,
Ina.

Discord introduction for new members

-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.
