Updates!

Yer girl is still struggling with follow-through and deadlines, you may notice. It's rough right now, but I'm working at it. If I can't get my head screwed on straight soon-ish, I may be putting a temporary pause on Patreon billing. I'm doing my damnedest, but my damnedest just ain't enough, damn it.

On to what's going on behind the scenes!

• I called in my pinch hitter editors to work on extra stuff because I’ve frankly lost control of my life!

Today’s editing note from Juniper in the group chat: “Your voice is very soothing, I keep almost falling asleep. Except every time you bark, “SIR!” at the cat.”

Today’s editing note from Freditor: “yeah it’s going fine will you buy me a burrito? 🤤”

Follow-up Juniper note: "Burrito??? 🥺"

Anyway, they're both full of burritos now. I'm an amazing boss. (No.)

• Audio! Tomorrow!!

Part 2 of Mafia Yandere!

• Finally recording late exclusives!

...also tomorrow! (Did I mention I've lost control of my life?) Releasing as soon as possible.

• New video art commissioned!

Four pieces, with an expected delivery in August, maybe more to come!

• All new channel logo possibilities delivered!

Only one artist ghosted me after payment. Yay!

• Shopping around for artists for some snazzy Your-Character-Here pinups!

Some YouTube safe pieces for YouTube, some slightly risque pieces for Patron eyes only. Narrowing down possibilities for artists. I’m thinking one piece per month, per platform if I can swing it?

• Writers paid!

Even if audios unfinished atm!

• Health update: Meds changed!

Hooray! Well, not entirely, I'm a little scared. But being back on an even keel soon hopefully?

(Also I think I’m anemic??? Which might explain some things...)

• Vacation: Started!

Oh my gosh I'm going to take SO many naps which is handy with the med changes.

• Idea + Patron request database

Almost done! I'll be setting up a new anonymous request form for Patrons to use and update the database periodically, most likely.

• Video database

...nowhere near done, but next month maybe? I'm trying to link all scripts I've used, etc. It's...a lot.

• Patreon guidelines stuff

Still so very, very slooooowly working through my back catalog trying to catch any stray risky bits that may need to be cut.

• Other possible channel stuff

I am seriously considering releasing one previously posted Patron exclusive audio to YouTube every month or so, just to give myself some extra wiggle room so I'll stop missing deadlines. (No recent Patreon audios, only those that are at least 1 year old.) Producing these new long audios regularly is taking up a lot of bandwidth, but they're what I want to make. I think the extra production time another week "off" during the month might provide may be helpful.

I'm very iffy on this, though, so it may not happen.

This concludes your in-lieu-of-an-actual-audio update!

I'm sorry I don't have anything more exciting to offer at the moment. I've been treading water, but I'm at least happy to not feel like I'm actively drowning. I'll see you tomorrow!
