*IMPORTANT* Information Regarding Level 5 Rewards

Hey everyone!
If you have been to my Twitch streams this week you may already have an idea about what I have to sadly announce today.

Unfortunately a few days ago I discovered that my External Hard Drive which I use to hold all of my Cosplay Edits and RAWs was damaged. This drive not only contained all of my Cosplay photos from the past 5 years but vlogs, modeling photos, travel photos with friends and family, artwork, Patreon assets, Twitch assets, logos, etc etc. Last night I took it to a professional so they could see if it was possible in any way to get it working again and it was confirmed that there is no way to fix it.

Unfortunately my only option is to send the drive to a Data Recovery company but this service costs  $1000 at the very cheapest. I haven't ruled out going down this option entirely but even if I did it would not fix my immediate issue. Which brings me to why I am telling you all this today.

The bad news is my Chocola pictures were stored on this Hard Drive. Meaning I have no way of accessing them again. The good (kinda?) is not ALL of my Chocola pictures were on this Drive.

My apologies if i'm not explaining this in the best way but the situation is that I had all of my Chocola RAW photos stored on this Hard Drive but the photos that I had already worked on and edited were stored (such as the ones in the collage above) on my PC! Meaning those ones are safe BUT I have only edited 4 photos so far.

4 photos are obviously way too little for a full set. So what I have decided to do is shoot a new Chocola Lingerie set this weekend. The lingerie shown above does not belong to me and I no longer have access to it, so I am going to pick out something as similar as I can find. After this shoot I can use the 4 old photos and new photos together to create a full set. So regardless of this issue I will still be putting out a Chocola Set this month for you guys BUT the lingerie I wear in some of the photos will be different.

So what will I be receiving in this months Digital set?
I will be including the 4 original photos of Chocola that I have already edited, selfies from the shoot and 10+ photos and selfies from the new lingerie set I will shoot this weekend.


What about the prints?
I actually ordered the prints from my supplier BEFORE the Hard Drive broke so the prints are safe!

What about the Level 3 set?
The Level 3 Marie Rose set is safe! I had all of the RAWs and Edits from this set on my PC luckily so it will not be effected.

Will any other rewards be effected?
No. The only rewards effected is the Chocola set and the only change that is being made is that some photos will be in a new lingerie set.

I was really looking forward to this specific lingerie set, can I get a refund?
Yes! If you are not interested in a different lingerie version and would like a refund then please just send me a DM and I can arrange it!

What about past sets?
Luckily a couple months ago I uploaded all of my old cosplays to DropBox so all of my old sets are safe!

What about the Yuna sets?
Both FFX and FFX-2 Yuna sets are safe! I will hopefully be releasing the X-2 set soon!

If you guys have any more questions about the situation or the rewards then please just ask me below in the comments!


I apologies for the inconvenience this has caused to you all. The last thing I want to do is let any of you down but it's also important to me that I am open and honest with whats going on behind the scenes.


I'm still not sure if I want to go down the Data Recovery route simply because it is so expensive but at the same time having all those years of work disappear is really sad. And there's no guarantee they can recover it!

I will for sure be doing that from now on!

Good point! They could be even better! Thinking positive is the best way forward hehe!

I've had the misfortune of requiring the services of DriveSavers before... :/ It's very expensive, but if the data is worth it they will do absolutely everything in their power to get the data off. It took an entire month for me and they essentially rebuilt the drive from the platters upward, then painstakingly reconstructed the file system from corrupted and de-rezzed sectors. World class service, but pricey :/ Good luck hon!

I’m sorry to hear that. Losing data is one of the most annoying things that could happen I remember losing all my old phones pictures cause I formatted my pc and i got super sad because of it A piece of advice: get an SSD they don’t break like mechanical Hard Drives

I had something similar happen, now I have double backups of everything. It has saved me several times. Good luck.

To prevent this in the future just upload all your stuff to dropbox or onedrive (ie. the cloud). Then there will be no worry about an external harddrive failing.

Thanks for the info, and sorry to hear about your misfortunes! The compromise for Chocola seems super fine of course, and thanks for putting in the extra effort.. Maybe the new shots will turn out even better than the lost ones :3

Twirl

It's super frustrating! I think I will save up and hopefully get them back some day!

Peach Milky

😢 I shall pray to the data gods for you, m'lady.

So sorry that happened to you! It's happened to me once before, and I was beyond frustrated. Thank you for the explanation, and I hope you are able to recover your files!
