The temporary rule for the next two to three months. (Pixiv Fanbox)

The collaboration with my assistant has been enjoyable, we might continue next year and I'm confident in the quality of my future works, especially after the recent period of growth. However, the commission costs are substantial, and the lack of an increase in supporters is challenging for me to sustain.

Without raising prices or adding more barriers which would only inconvenience my true supporters, my options are limited. My Pixiv account is heavily limited, so I can't gain more visibility by creating better SC works. If you are a scene card creater and interested in creating SC for my character later, I'll share my works for you and promptly in the future.

I'll also start identifying and dealing with leakers. Although they are few now, unchecked sharing of my works without cost can escalate out of control. I plan to mark each card and create individualized cards for each patron. Given the relatively smaller number of my patrons, this is feasible, albeit time-consuming. This seems the best way to avoid impacting other supporters.

For the upcoming anti-leak initiative, card distribution will be staggered. Each patron will receive their cards at different times, as I can't create individual cards for everyone at once. I'll prioritize based on sponsorship level and amount. New patrons might not receive cards immediately, for which I apologize, but this is just a temporary measure for a few months.

After dealing with the leakers, I'll start working on Card V2.0, updating and even remaking popular past works. To prevent leakers from repeatedly creating accounts, upgraded 2.0 versions will only be shared with long-term supporters. 90% of my current list comprises long-term supporters, so this won't affect most of you reading this.

Thank you for your understanding. These are temporary rules for the next couple of months, necessary to prevent worsening situations and negative impacts on both you and me. As compensation, I'll invest the time in creating works during the Christmas holiday period xD

Since these decisions were made at the end of the month, creating the markers will take extra time. Therefore, all users who sponsored in November can request Dorothy's card after completion. Ruanmei's card will be sent to the patrons as the December reward, around the time of the character PV release.
