Happy New Year!

I wanted take some time to lay out where things are at and what I have planned for the future.

Firstly, I want to thank you all. It has been such an amazing pleasure to get to create comics and art, and I couldn't have done it without your support. And I don't just mean monetary. Your comments, likes, general feedback. It's all been so helpful as I figure out the type of artist I want to be on this platform. So, thank you.

Along the lines of feedback, over the last year I would send out bi-monthly feedback forms, and so I'd like to try to start implementing some of the more popular requests:

1. PDF options: I'm going to start going back through the archive and creating PDF versions of stories. I'm going to try a few different things at first. We'll have the option to get full chapters of stories, but then I'll also bundle entire quarters worth of content for easy access. Another big thing is breaking content up between futa and non-futa, for those who are not into futa content. Because of the nature of these stories, Gumroad requires they're not given out for free, but I'll be creating coupons for active patrons.

2. Diversified Platforms: Along those lines, I'm looking to diversify that platforms that I post content on. At the moment, it's primarily Deviantart, discord, and patreon. Feedback has indicated people want more options. I'll work on that.

3. More Frequent Posts: The main ongoing comic typically takes up a lot of my time, but it doesn't mean we can't have more small-scale posts. My goal (and I'm not always going to succeed, so bare with me), is to alternate between M/W/F and T/Th on a monthly basis. Saturday and Sunday will be reserved for either special projects or behind the scenes posts.

4. Bite-Sized Ongoing Comics: Something I've seen both in feedback and in viewer data is, my putting comics out at 40+ pages just isn't accessible on Patreon. The platform has changed a lot of how you view image galleries, and it makes it a pain. So with that in mind, I'm aiming for weekly posts of the ongoing comic to be around 20-25 pages. This will also help go towards producing more content overall and challenge me to create more interesting stories within the page range. That still comes out to about 100 pages per month for an ongoing comic, which isn't too bad (if I do say so myself).

5. Revisit and Close Out Old Stories: Something I was doing last month was going through older stories (that were popular), that I've sort of left hanging. I want to bring them to a satisfying conclusion before starting new material. I'm definitely guilty of getting too excited by a new idea and moving on before something is truly done. But this also means meeting up with old faces again (can someone say an ongoing Stolen Supplements series in 2024?!).

I realize that was longwinded so with all that said, happy new year and thank you for your support.

This year's gonna be a wild ride.
