Hey there $55 Tier people! Some news. (Patreon)
Content
First as always, I am very grateful to all of you for your support. As always I am and will always be grateful for the excellent support that you guys help with. If it wasn't for you all the comics in this tier wouldn't exist.
I am pretty upset this morning as I went to the forums
There is a completely selfish person in this tier that has leaked a a great deal of our $55 tier comics out there on the free forums. We'll see how damaging it is in a month. However leaking comics like Panty-demic has consequences. I have warned this site a few times about that comic. Its a comic that I work REALLY hard on and I write everything for. So a leak like this posting the most recent of Panty-Demic puts me into a creatively bankrupt area. It does NOT make me want to work on it, and it does NOT make me feel good to create it. I will be posting the most recent page of Panty-demic this Friday.
I don't know when I will do another page of Pantydemic.... maybe never.
I killed "A Day at the Beach" for less than that.
I don't think that some of you understand. I DON'T MAKE MUCH MONEY DOING THIS. Our average page is $100-$250/PER COMIC PAGE for artists... i also pay writers well. I do this ... I think you can all see because I love the fetish. It's acts like this leak that WILL make me quit. This is NOT MY MAIN JOB!
It has taken EVERY BIT of my resolve to NOT JUST shut the site down this morning. EVERY BIT. The ONLY reason that I didn't is because the majority of you are great patrons that understand how much time and work these comics take.
And you don't deserve to be punished because of the actions of one or two BAD PEOPLE, so I am going to finish the commissions I have open for the site, (meaning I will be doing updates this week) then I think I am going to reconsider if I want to do this anymore.
Sites like Lustomic are struggling compared to the old days because of these forums.
I know it's a stupid analogy-- but How long do you think a restaurant will last if everyone is eating for free?
It has been almost a YEAR since our last leak, and we were JUST NOW recovering from the loss in signups... Hence the 13-17 posts for the last few weeks. Those happen when the site is SUCCESSFUL. When the site doesn't make it's overhead there are less posts.
But hey---its digital, and you paid a lot for it so you can be a hero on the forums and help chip away at something you "SUPPORT" . That's what happens.
EVERY LEAK brings me a step closer to finding something ELSE to be productive with.
I don't want to sound ungrateful. I AM GRATEFUL to all of you that simply enjoy, support, and you know RESPECT the creator's wishes to not share the content.
I have somethings to think about.
