Arch Mage Chapter 37 is Flagged and Hidden
Added 2025-03-19 04:18:40 +0000 UTCFor the crime of Harry and Daphne getting to second base in their relationship, Patreon has declared Chapter 37 in violation of guidelines and has hidden it from everyone until they review my edits!
It's complete bullshit, but I have no choice but to edit it and wait for 1 to 3 business days for Patreon to decide if it can be shown on the site again.
I apologize to everyone that was looking forward to the update, but it's out of my hands right now.
Hopefully, everyone can read the chapter soon.
Comments
Thank you for solving that problem so quickly, i know it’s probably super annoying and not your fault at all.

2025-03-26 02:23:38 +0000 UTCAnyone can read the new chapter from the GDoc link in the separate post.
Kairomaru
2025-03-24 21:36:42 +0000 UTCWell I hope that you find out wats going on soon so that everyone here can check out the new chapter and I'd also like to say that I absolutely love your stories and you do amazing work
Earl Alsobrook
2025-03-24 21:35:39 +0000 UTCAlready did.
Kairomaru
2025-03-24 03:21:53 +0000 UTCIf you're able to then post it as a pdf or some kind of text file from like Google doc
Earl Alsobrook
2025-03-24 03:19:31 +0000 UTCStill nothing yet... I'll try to do something to let people read it soon if I don't hear anything from Patreon.
Kairomaru
2025-03-22 05:48:09 +0000 UTCAny news about this chapter?
Racenrise
2025-03-22 05:09:01 +0000 UTCNice... Here's hoping for the best!
Pedro Burgos
2025-03-22 00:46:54 +0000 UTCWorking on another update at the moment, will try to do something about Arch Mage after that.
Kairomaru
2025-03-22 00:43:19 +0000 UTCAny other options to read the chapter?
Pedro Burgos
2025-03-22 00:40:56 +0000 UTCI say make a google doc and make us all viewers cuz fuck censorship and changing it to please the platform. Up to you though i'll read and enjoy whatever you drop ;).
DJ Johnson
2025-03-21 22:41:52 +0000 UTCYou could put it on google docks and share it here via link
Putte90
2025-03-21 17:32:35 +0000 UTCHaven't heard anything yet.
Kairomaru
2025-03-21 16:11:55 +0000 UTCHi kairo, have you perhaps heard anything about the situation for chap 37? I hope that this will be only once happening. Good luck and looking forward to good news
Neko
2025-03-21 09:27:48 +0000 UTCHopefully, soon. I want everyone to be able to enjoy the chapter.
Kairomaru
2025-03-20 04:58:58 +0000 UTCWow they’re amazing fucking dumb for this action cuz there are people of this site that make porn on it but when it’s in writing they make a fuss about it but it is what it is and knowing corpos they’ll look at the edit with bare minimum looks and say “ this still breaks OUR TC try again hehe~” but I look forward for this chapter when those cunts let it out
Arcfield
2025-03-20 04:57:26 +0000 UTCWow...that's really fucking dumb. I'm subbed to Patreon writers who write full on sex scenes in their works an Patreon has been fine (not smut, but like, a lemon scene in a chapter). This is so fucking *dumb*. Ahh well man, I hope to read the new chapter soon. (If you still want to post the unedited version, you can post a link to the google doc, after making it so no-one can edit it, that way we can read it there, and there's no issue. Just an idea)
The_Slave_Knight
2025-03-19 23:00:00 +0000 UTCAwh man, sad to hear hopefully they will let you show it soon. They probably have some ai that see a few keywords and judge it, Ultron much. Well, can only pray that tomorrow will be fixed and I and many others can continue enjoying Harry travelling.
Neko
2025-03-19 21:59:37 +0000 UTCNothing so far, unfortunately.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 21:37:59 +0000 UTCIs there any update being sent to you about it being cleared up?
Ryusui23
2025-03-19 21:36:45 +0000 UTCYeah, sorry about the wait to read the chapter, I can't do anything about it right now.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 21:08:26 +0000 UTCThere’s no second base in Quidditch! Seriously, they’re serious about their censorship. Mrs. Umbridge approves.
Mad Hatter
2025-03-19 21:04:38 +0000 UTCSeems to be happening to a lot of authors lately some have been posting googledoc links and pdf and doc files instead to get around this absurd censorship, hope your weeks going well apart from this hiccup
Jamie Celtic
2025-03-19 18:13:33 +0000 UTCThank you, it's nice to know that my stories help you out on the rough days.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 17:33:14 +0000 UTCThe disclaimer is a great option, another way resolved the issue to to no longer post the chapter as text in Patreon but to post an excerpt but have the full chapter linked as an .epub or similar.
Ironcoil
2025-03-19 14:00:48 +0000 UTCBe careful buddy. Put a disclaimer on the chapters, worst case is that patreon deletes your account
Lutze2110
2025-03-19 11:08:47 +0000 UTCPut a disclaimer up at the beginning of the chapter that all characters are 18 years and older and the chapter is not suitable to underage people. That is what a lot of authors on here are doing to get around that.
J T
2025-03-19 10:25:01 +0000 UTCI hope you doing okay after this my friend, hope this mess gets sorted out, take care and thank you for your work it helps me get by when my days are going bad
David Beltran
2025-03-19 10:10:39 +0000 UTCObviously Patreon is unimpressed with second base and thinks you should swing for the fences.
Captain Hair
2025-03-19 08:27:53 +0000 UTCThose people and their so called guidelines probably never had a childhood romance, probably being single their wgole life. Give us the promised chapter back and perhaps you can learn something from it
Neko
2025-03-19 08:12:26 +0000 UTCThe unedited version will be up on the free sites when it's time.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 07:02:44 +0000 UTCAre you gonna post the unedited version anywhere else like a Google docs or something the people can access with a link?

Kairomaru
2025-03-19 06:23:56 +0000 UTCI feel like they’ve been cracking down on this stuff a lot more lately.
David Zimmerle
2025-03-19 06:23:09 +0000 UTCSome people use Google doc links like someone said on the comment for their chapters if they are putting M rated scenes
Ryusui23
2025-03-19 06:17:14 +0000 UTCMight be better to just host the chapters on Google Docs or something and just give the link to the doc instead of the chapter itself.
Hooshu
2025-03-19 06:15:05 +0000 UTCIts probably an excuse for Patreon to read your stories before anyone else :P Charge them for 'Reviewing your chapter 37'
Neko
2025-03-19 06:06:21 +0000 UTCBy Merlin's hairy beard!! What is that for nonsense!! Exactly what Darknexx said, why picking you for violating their so called rules!! Honestly, your stories are one of the bests with good plots, nice growing characters and correct many characters to a more likeable ones. I was like, yes...UPDATE!! Lets start the show!! I hope you get back soon and they punish the evildoers who actually commit a crime!! Hope to read chapter 37 soon and what kind of chaos you brought to the Yule ball
Neko
2025-03-19 06:03:57 +0000 UTCWeird... I wonder why?
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 05:51:15 +0000 UTCBtw if I use the notification, I can still read it so they are not really doing a great job hiding it xD
darknexx97848
2025-03-19 05:44:16 +0000 UTCIdk, it's still in my notification tab and accessible
Heroville111
2025-03-19 05:42:55 +0000 UTCHas it already been cleared?
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 05:41:36 +0000 UTCI can still read it??
Heroville111
2025-03-19 05:40:56 +0000 UTCYep...
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 05:40:29 +0000 UTCIt still impresses me how much they attack fanfics when there are accounts that have NSFW as their whole shtick with animations and art and do nothing about them 🤦🏻
darknexx97848
2025-03-19 05:37:45 +0000 UTCPossibly.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 05:26:17 +0000 UTCMight be worth exploring SubscribeStar, RoyalRoad, and other platforms as possible Alternates in case it gets worse here.
Matthew Williams
2025-03-19 05:21:54 +0000 UTCThey probably fear an Elsagate moment
El Pirato
2025-03-19 05:20:23 +0000 UTCFair. Might be worth thinking about moving to subscribestar if this keeps happening
DALucifer
2025-03-19 05:07:27 +0000 UTCYeah... I don't get it either.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 05:05:54 +0000 UTCI personally don't understand Patreon stand honestly. Teenagers being Teenagers? Oh the humanity we must protect the non-existence children! Characters 18+ getting struggled snuggles in every which way possible with necrophilia and gore added? A-OK! Honestly they should be more respectful to the creators who idk are literally the reason this site exists.
Mr. Khaos
2025-03-19 05:03:54 +0000 UTCHopefully it'll be up again tomorrow or the day after.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:59:34 +0000 UTCquite frustrating, but i understand that it's not anything you have control over.
Delphinous
2025-03-19 04:57:42 +0000 UTCI don't want to tempt them to get even WORSE on my page.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:53:07 +0000 UTCapologies if im misunderstanding, but couldnt you just do a new post with the pdf/drive link and leave the current one in limbo? or does patreon keep an eye out for repeat postings in different formats?
DALucifer
2025-03-19 04:50:10 +0000 UTCBada da dai Bada da dooba Doo doodlootdootdoodoot BAYAH! Fucking bullshit Fucking bullshit Fucking bullshit Holy shit, oh fucker Fucking bullshit Fucking bullshit Goddamn bullshit Son of a bitch What the hell? (Dodoontz, doontitz, doodoon dodoo dodoo) Oh mother fucker Goddamn bullshit Holy shit (Oh holy shit) Oh holy shit, bullshit Goddamn mother fucker (Mother fucker) Oh fucking bastard goddamn FUCKING SHIT (Oh fucking shit) Son of a mother fucking bitch OH SHIT
The Masked Newfag
2025-03-19 04:46:58 +0000 UTCpossibly, but his DXD fic has had the same problem and as far as i'm aware, those have always been fictional only
W1lliam
2025-03-19 04:44:15 +0000 UTCYeah, I don't even know anymore, but hopefully it'll get posted soon.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:41:18 +0000 UTC@Kairomaru. About your comment "It's because THOSE stories don't have teenagers being teenagers. The second that a character is labeled as being 18, Patreon's Guidelines barley apply to the content at all. But if they're younger, you basically can't write them progressing a relationship at all." I have seen plenty of stories on this site where the characters are around 16 or so and have plenty of straight up R-18 stuff. It was about Anime though. So maybe since HP was made into movies with real characters so the guidelines are more strict. But then again, I have seen HP stories with R-18 content on this site too. So maybe this is a recent thing. I really hope this gets resolved soon as your stories are amazing.
Aroking
2025-03-19 04:39:16 +0000 UTCIt's strangling some of their 18+ Creators and they'll eventually force a lot more people out if they don't calm down on some of this.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:38:09 +0000 UTCMaybe? I have no idea.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:37:08 +0000 UTCThat was my original comment my revamped one is as long as it is on A03 then hopefully it will be okay.
DanielJ27
2025-03-19 04:34:16 +0000 UTCBecause in my other fics all the characters are 18, I guess? Or maybe there's another reason that Patreon's excessive Guidelines cover.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:31:56 +0000 UTCI HAVE to edit it for the chapter to ever show back up on the site first.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:31:07 +0000 UTCGlad you liked it! Yeah, the book is named not for its definition of words, but because of 'flair' that Wizards are known for in Harry Potter. lol
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:30:32 +0000 UTCYeah they've been very strict about the no u18 touchy touchy stuff recently, may want to cut down on the lewds if they are already monitoring your stuff. They've completely shut down bigger accounts due to it unless you link the spicy stuff to an external site, so long as it ain't hosted here they don't care too much.
Codeninja676 (Brian)
2025-03-19 04:29:34 +0000 UTCIt's starting to look like it...*sighs*
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:29:24 +0000 UTCI can't do much of anything until Patreon stops hiding it.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:29:11 +0000 UTCI AGREE THIS IS BS but I think this probably happened cause HARRY POTTER had real people actors in movie wile other works such as danmachi for example could be said are a drawing or CGI thus no problem but people over reacts anytime anything is implied if related to people in real life
striker James
2025-03-19 04:27:42 +0000 UTCYes, the scene will be in the AO3 version because you can post what you want there.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:26:53 +0000 UTCTotal bullshit, yes. It's because THOSE stories don't have teenagers being teenagers. The second that a character is labeled as being 18, Patreon's Guidelines barley apply to the content at all. But if they're younger, you basically can't write them progressing a relationship at all.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:26:19 +0000 UTCPut it in a google doc and drop a link.
Johann Tan
2025-03-19 04:25:07 +0000 UTCUgh. At this rate everyone's just gonna have to post Google links and pdfs/epubs.
Captain Hair
2025-03-19 04:24:47 +0000 UTCIt's just a pian in the ass for them to do this for their guidelines which keep getting more and more strict.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:24:25 +0000 UTCBtw, it was a great chapter. Some quite sweet character moments and relationship progression.
James
2025-03-19 04:24:05 +0000 UTCDick move, Patreon. I managed to read it before it came down, and there was nothing extreme about it. I've certainly ready Harry getting up to a lot steamier action than that on this site. Btw, the book title, Necrotic Arts. Necrotic literally means 'dead tissue', it's decay, the opposite of what Voldemort wants. Necromantic technically is only about conjuring and communing with the dead for divination, but it's been co-opted by fantasy to mean all magic related to death, and those who create zombies/undead/etc, so Necromantic Arts would make more sense.
James
2025-03-19 04:23:25 +0000 UTCIf this happens again you could post a link with a Google drive or something similar instead of editing it
Justin Moore
2025-03-19 04:23:08 +0000 UTCI hope it's back up soon, this is such bullshit.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:22:34 +0000 UTCYep... Teenagers can't be teenagers even if it's only second base.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:22:04 +0000 UTCIt does suck but as long as it is unchanged on A03 then it will be okay
DanielJ27
2025-03-19 04:21:53 +0000 UTCYep... A bunch of bullshit.
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:21:45 +0000 UTCNOT lol! Not lol AT ALL!!! *pouts*
Kairomaru
2025-03-19 04:21:35 +0000 UTCWow thats honestly such bs. There are many other stories on Patreon with straight up sex in them and they dont catch those but they catch this? Annoying. Will the scene still be there in the ao3 whenever that is uploaded?
coffeejelly97
2025-03-19 04:20:57 +0000 UTCIf you need to I've seen lots of authors moving to share a Google docs link for any more adult chapters. This seems to help them avoid being flagged but people can still access it.
georgez28
2025-03-19 04:20:54 +0000 UTCI did wonder why I couldn’t see it instantly after uploading. Patreon removing it makes sense good luck Kai
