It's been about a week since I got sick and I'm still coughing up unmentionable things. I'm not running a fever and I was vaccinated, so I don't think it's Covid, but I still haven't had the energy to do much writing at all. It's a pernicious combination of needing to rest, but not being able to rest because of the coughing and congestion and stuffiness.

Anyway, this seems as good a time as any to make another sea change, which would be to limit my ficcing to twenty-five slots per month, both Patreon and Ko-Fi. For a couple months now, I've been doing a story a day, sometimes two, and I'd like to do a little more for my burn-out than just tap the brakes.

So I think this whole 25 slot thing will A. show everyone that I am doing *something* with my time--I've been on the receiving end of waiting months for a commission, not knowing if a guy is alive or got hit by a bus, and I know it's no fun. B. limit writing to a reasonable amount and timetable. If all 25 slots in a month are taken up, then you'll have to wait until next month. If all those slots are taken up, the month after that. This'll also give you a reasonable estimate of how long it'll take for a story to be 

It'll be a first come, first served system and include both Patreon fics and Ko-fi fics, so if you wait too long to request your pledge reward, you'll end up in line behind people who were quicker on the draw.
