 Miraculous Empire (New Story Series)

• Ladybug: Olivia (Half Asian / Half Hispanic)
• Cat Noir: Alexander (French Canadian; just moved to NYC from Montreal)
• I'm planning on giving y'all a sneak preview of the first few chapters before this Fall 2022. So look forward to later this month (June 2022) for a preview of the first chapter, Chapter 1: Red Light! and another preview of the second chapter, Chapter 2: Dangerous Aura in August 2022.

Community Voting 2022

• Don't forget to vote in the first community poll for Season 2 of A Masked Teen. I can't wait to see where you want to take our blonde protagonist and her green companion next! Vote here on Patreon!!! 
• A second poll will begin next month (July 2022) for A Gymnast's Symbiote so look forward to the second poll of year coming soon!

Supporters! (like you)

• I want to express my sincere thanks to everyone here for letting me take my fleeting hobby and make it more of an active reality! And now a year since publishing my first story, I've done some self-reflection and determined that I would be able to make this a more prominent part of my life by making a few changes and setting some assurances to the Patreon.
• As a first step, I'm setting an important goal for the Patreon; reaching 50 active supporters. In addition, I'm going to slightly tweak the fare for the default tier by a dollar starting in September 2022 with the transition completing by December 2022. Both of these changes will not only allow me to get more aromatic beans for my coffee brews but also provide some level of stability as I juggle between this passion project and my full-time gig.
• Along with these changes, I can also set some assurances. First, existing patrons before September 2022 can continue to support at the same rate for existing benefits. Second, I'm going to refrain from creating more than one public tier. Third, I'm going to lock in the tweaked rate starting in September 2022; I hope to never change this unless Patreon changes their payment system. And lastly, I'm going to start posting more than just special chapters and stories to the Patreon!
• Starting in Fall 2022, in addition to publishing supporter-only stories to the Patreon I'm also going to start posting supporters-only doodles and Photomanips to the tweaked default tier! And when we hit that goal of 50 active supporters, I can provide even more perks on Patreon such as: Early Drafts of Upcoming Stories, Remastering Stories, and more!

Commissions

• I've been really happy to see both the support from members on Pateron and the creative ideas from others on custom stories and notes for existing ones. Just to let all of you know, I'm still open to hearing your ideas for stories and if you're an artist in the community I'm totally down to collaborate like what I've done with OneMaskFitsAll and NomaxXN.

I'll see you in the Fall to kickstart a new series: Miraculous Empire! And have a easy summer folks!
