Update- (Patreon)
Content
Dear patreons,
Someone here leaked our entire catalogue again with an active pipeline to an outside site that has more members than we do.
I am taking a break and a week to think about whether I want to do these comics anymore.
Someone actively gave their login as a "contributer" to a site that is so horrible that it actively and automatically clones the site behind the paywall.
If you've been with us for a while and supported us, please realize that I know that it's not fair to you, but on the other hand I don't know what to do.
If I do nothing then people take what they want with impunity and Our site just dwindles because of sales.
I don't want to be the person who is paying for the world to get off on these comics that only a small percentage of people of contributes to helping create the work. Since I am producing the work with a narrative in mind, I am taking the upfront financial risk and then paying myself back always. Since last summer's last big leak, I have only been barely breaking even.
Since the last big leak last summer, we were just over the last few months started to break 400 patrons across all of our tiers and that's when we start to actually get out of the negative balance of the site.
For all of the patreons, I ask you what I should do?
Because the money here will run out. Producing 50 pages/Illustrations of a Scripted work per month is VERY VERY VERY EXPENSIVE. Since the online week (2 days ago) we've only had 3 sign ups. Our Friday average is at least 15 sign ups. So anyone saying piracy doesn't hurt, doesn't actually own an online business.
I haven't decided whether to start cancelling comics, starting new ones, or quitting all together. With the climate of the world maybe that's what I should do is quit making comics.
Its starting to feel like it's not worth it.
I am going to take a week to think about what I want to do.
Bottom line for all of those people who have supported and continue to support us, you don't deserve this, and I am trying to think of a solution that keeps you satisfied, but doesn't ope the site to ruin.
Since there is an open and clear pipeline to another site right now, I have to think if I want to post anything else at all this month.
