Bye Bye 2017
Added 2017-12-30 15:17:09 +0000 UTCHi dearest Patrons!
I wanted to thank all of you who supported me this year 2017!
It was a very difficult year for me, I had to make some important decisions. I was about to give up everything, I was about to give up my work as a comic artist and Pleasure Bon Bon because I felt lonely and stuck in a difficult situation to explain.
Many of you have known what happened, the break that I had against the main site of Pleasure Bon Bon because I was never granted by my partner R. ( the webmaster) to take care of anything but produce the comic and contents. I don't want to come back now because I want to manage my comic by myself from now on. For many reasons.
For all those who believed that the site was in my hands and that I earned all the subscriptions money, well it was never like that. For 14 years I have "only" produced all the material on the site without ever being master of it. The site goes bad and I want to change it, I'd like to change the policy of subscribe, but I can't because I had no managerial power. I have no passwords and no powers.
That's why I left.
Currently there is only R. in PBB site, he is alone and it is all in his hands. It is the only one that earns all the money from subscriptions, yes. He does not want to recognize the royaltiss to me now, since I want to work by Patreon, and of course does not want me to manage the site. He will keep all the future earnings if I publish here on Patreon by myself. It sounds really unfair for me.
To be more clear this means that if you pay a subscription of the site now he keep it all. Even I am the creator of what you pay for.
I am here to say THANK YOU to all the people that stopped to pay for the website Pleasure Bon Bon and support me here! Because you will not see the comic more on the site, I guarantee you as the author. So you would pay R. for nothing.
If you care PBB and me, if you are fans of PBB and wish to read the comic (and more) please support ME on Patreon and on my new project of Pleasure Bon Bon 2018 .
Of course I will fight for my rights with R. but now the only thing that I can do, and I will do, is to work and put all my effort on my new project to resume PBB into an exclusive reboot, only mine this time, and you will know very soon how I will able to do it , with your help and support!
This year of difficulties and disappointments is ending, good! :) The 2018 will be the year of renewal and enthusiasm! :D
Thank you very much for your support, your money has really helped me to continue to design and develop new ideas, concretely. It helped me not to abandon my dream and to have hope.
Thank you.
I wish you all a beautiful and happy 2018 !!
Vanessa.

I have all the evidence of what I say but during these years I have been silent and take all the complaints from my heaters because they don't know R. Whenever I wanted to leave the PBB site R kept me promising a recovery of sales and a change, and also a VISA for the USA. But it never happened. I was talking to my readers on the PBB message board always under his control. R owns all the banner sites on the PBB homepage. He has managed PBB for 13 years and took money from readers giving me a percentage never verified, and now he keeps the site and the comic book hostage and of course all the money for himself. I have to focus on rebooting PBB this year but then, at the right time, I will ask all my supporters if it is possible to have the assistance of a lawyer to get all my material back and know the truth about everything. Because I do not think he can keep my job and sell it without my permission and I want to know the official reports and sales of the site. There is no contract between us. My production has been delayed because I always had to deal with him and I was disappointed to give him my job. But before Patreon did not exist, now I can finally be free. Thanks to you :) Thank you for your words Ginkyofu

2018-01-03 17:19:37 +0000 UTCDear Ginkyofu13 "I hoped you get your rights back from R." what you say is right. I want to tell you with you what he written me in the Halloween Day 2017 by Messager ( by facebook). Like: " I will not give you any royalties from the new sales if you don't continue the comic for me. You can sue me. I will say to the court the you was always a worker on hire." The sad thing is that for all these years he tooks 50% of my money ( IF it were the real 50%...because I never had a real report from CCBILL, our provider, but just numbers wrote by e-mail from him...so it can be less of the total earning of the site...I can't know it) but all people here and out of here tought for 13 years that I was the only responsable of all the system. All people that complained complained aganist me, they was upset with me, because they felt robbed by me. But R. was behind all. People never thought about him. He was a ghost, but the boss of the situation, and he wanted money from customers and does not really care about the comic, but only by the traffic that the site give him for his system of payment websites. He win in any case. I was cheated from him because he promised me many things. Like a contract, a visa for the USA...oooh, you can't immagine how I was on a thightrope. I had no chance. At the time a was naive, I did not speak in English and I live in Italy ( so I didn't know many things that I discovered later) , so I trusted. And now the comic is in hostage by him. He blackmails me because he have the passwords and the payments. To prove you that it is the truth, I tell you stop paying the www.pleasurebonbon.com site! I will open a new site with free comic. No more membership, no more loyal system etc... a true and sincery relationship between me and my readers, and a free reboot! Stay tuned for my next announcement. You will see that I am not the person that people tought, the greedy author. R. was the greedy one, actually there are updates with old artworks and he is doing puzzle games...but I am no more into the site! He let suppose you that I continue to get royalties and money but he is earning it all lying to people. I will not come back on PBB.com, this is a lie to cheat my readers. And they are thinking that I am lazy and I am the dishonest. One day I will do something to take back the pages of PBB but now I can't. I only can make a reboot.
