December newsletter (Patreon)

Hi.

Ye olde Familiar update

Everything is on schedule to keep to the schedule I outlined in November's newsletter. If you are new, please take a look at that schedule to understand what's going on with the progress on the comic and how it all applies to activity here on Patreon.

Reminder: Familiar on break, Patreon perks running as usual

I won't be actively working on chapters in Dec and Jan, but I will still be fulfilling perks. In particular, the Dec and Jan Influencer polls are going to be more significant to their related chapter than usual - Influencers will be picking the two magical items or spells that I will use to write the chapter :) Hope it's a little something fun and different.

New shop arrivals

There are quite a few new products in the shop, including the following Familiar items:

• Albright Talking Board t-shirt 
• SuperStitious Jack knit sweater 
• You Can't Spell Meow Without Me Sticker 

I wanted to have greeting cards for holiday gifting ready by now, but I don't think they will get loaded in time. Sorry :(

Break plans

In spite of technically taking a break, in addition to Patreon perks, I'm still hoping to do some other projects that have been on the back burner for a while, including uploading the completed German translation pages to Drunk Duck, revamping all the stickers in the shop, and stuff like that. We'll uh... we'll see. lol

I also hope (plan) to have the annual Patrons happiness survey up soon so everyone can let me know how they're feeling about how I've been running the Patreon the past year or so (especially since the changes with the comic website having to come down). More on that soon.

Thanks, everyone, for everything - wishing you a sparkling solstice and a happy new year!

Jude
