November '24 newsletter (public)

NOVEMBER PERKS SCHEDULE

• 8-14: Collector exclusive art poll

• 15-30: Influencer poll #4 (20 HOME)

• 23 (8AM PST on Discord): Collector exclusive art stream*

• 25: December wallpaper poll

* I have an orthopedic consult for a hand issue on the 22nd. I don't think it will affect the stream, but if it does, I will have to postpone it to the 30th. I should know by the end of the 22nd whether or not the stream can happen on the 23rd.

Credits survey link and wallpaper coming soon (still have to draw it) in a separate post!

Hi.

Patreon nonsense first.
This month billing changes to subscription billing. Please read more about this here. TLDR in case you haven't heard about this already from every other Patreon creator you follow: Subscribe via browser to avoid the Apple tax.

New drops in the shop

• A new knit sweater has been added: Familiar Night.

I am also hoping to get some wrapping paper and possibly a sex toy-themed ugly christmas sweater up in time for the holidays, but we'll see. I also have hopes about a pinup calendar for 2025.... Yeah. We'll see. Hah.

Seeker tier ($40) starts getting non-Familiar project drip starting today!

Today I'll post the inaugural Unoriginal Characters BTS roundup post, which will become the landing post for all things UNOC until further notice. I'll also be posting a separate roundup post for Soiree, which I'll be working on over the break this winter.

Patrons survey and 2025 tier re-organization

As I continue to figure out the best way to handle the subscription billing model, as well as begin working on a second long-running series in addition to Familiar, I'm going to be sending out the Patrons end-of-the-year survey later this month (or plan to) and then will be looking at how to structure this Patreon account in early 2025. I will let everyone know about changes before I make them, but as usual you will not lose perks... you will only get new ones (grow stronger).

And remember...

Familiar isn't ending any time soon.

Although I am beginning development on new things and have been working on the ending of Familiar, my plans at the moment still have us on a regular Familiar schedule through 2026. I'm taking great care with my planning and writing, and I'm feeling good with where I'm going.
