FFC news: early ending in sight (Patreon)
Content
Hello FFC-reader and Furry Fight fans!
There´s a lot I could talk about now, but I want to keep it (relatively) short.
When I made public that book three was finished I cried. Because although the last page of the book says"To be continued..." I felt like this was the end.
There will be now more updates for 20$-patrons for the time being. Everyone in the top-tier can delete their pledge if they want to, but if you keep it it will be purely as a donation without a reward from now on.
FFC is in indefinite hiatus now. Frankly I don´t feel like continuing anymore. I have all the ideas for the rest of act 1 planned out and looked forward to realize them for years. A part of me still does. But the part of me that got disappointed, burned out and bitter overgrow my inherent drive to go on.
I put all I could in this project for three years and finished 676 pages in total. I reached a point where something has to change or I give up FFC completely to move on and try something new. I need an outward incentive big enough to make me continue.
I would continue if I´d get at least 500$ of support each month for the comic. I´d draw a page for 100$, so the absolute minimum would be five pages a month.
This shouldn´t sound like bribery. To be frank this isn´t meant to get people on board or increase their pledge. Because after gaining enough experience about this project I to 90 percent expect thatsome ultimatum won't change a thing. It´s rather meant as to show how unlikely it is that I will continue.
Honestly it broke my heart. But I never planned to make this as a sole passion project, but to make money with it- the longterm goal of mine is still to get independent from commissions. The most money FFC made was through FFC-commissions.
It´s fine to earn money with commissions, but this comic created more commissions than making me able to reduce them and still make a living of it. This wasn´t the plan.
This comic developed into a problematic relationship. I went through months of doubts, often thinking and feeling the opposite what I felt the day before. The emotional roalercoasters made me crazy and ghastly. That was the phase of arguments. Then came the breake up-phase. Occasionally we were happy again, looking back on better times and continuing like before, out of pure habit. The breake up finally sunk in the past weeks, and finally I don´t have the urge to continue anymore. I got in a state where I am ready to move on and still be proud for how far I came. It´s been the longest running project I ever did of my own, and even if it´s unfinished this achievement is undeniable. I´ll do my best to mend my heart from now on.
The hiatus is in sight, but it will still be months till I posted all the finished chapters from book three. The last chapter will be made public in september 2020.
I think I will still leave this patreon-site be. All Patrons can change their pledge as they want. I´ll delete the old tiers when I have no more new stuff to post, and most likely reduce everything to a 1$-tier. As soon as 500 people donate a Dollar a month I continue FFC as long as the minimum goal is reached.
As things look most likely though I´ll create something new. Something less personal, which I feel less devastated about if it fails and more in tune of what people expect and want from me.
