Here's what's up! (Patreon)

Welcome back, everybody, this is an update on the new Patreon as of this month!

New Benefits:

- Avenist-tier backers are now reading two chapters in advance.  They also have a new Discord role and their own spoiler channel to discuss the Avenist-tier advance chapter.

- I am launching a monthly Patreon AMA, under the following rules: A separate post will be made for each backer tier to reply with questions, from which any Avenist questions are guaranteed an answer(one per patron per month), and five each will be selected from the Eserite and Nemitite tiers.  Questions may be anything, about any of my stories or anything else.  I make no promises that you will find the answers enjoyable or satisfactory, merely that they will be honest.  First round of question posts will go out immediately after I post this.

Changes of Plan:

- I previously stated I'd be posting the backlog of bonus chapters first before starting in on main story content.  That plan changed because the first three chapters of main story content are what I got done over break, and as the deadline loomed and I started settling in to write those bonus chapters, that was when I got a brand new sinus infection that's afflicting me with waves of pain and causing sleep deprivation.  I will deal with this as soon and as well as I am able, but as I currently lack health insurance...I'm not quite sure how just yet.  At the moment I'm just hoping I can keep up with work enough not to fall immediately behind on Book 4.  The bonus chapters will be out as soon as I can get them done.  It's always some damn thing or other...

- I also previously declared I'd be reducing OVDT updates to once a week and launching a second, stress-relief kind of serial to ease my emotional fatigue with this story.  That plan is not off the table but it can't be executed at the moment because I just don't have another story in a sufficient state of readiness to begin publishing, except for a couple that would only stress me out more.  Unfortunately, while the actual chapter-by-chapter execution of stories can be forced (though that's not wise and has mental health consequences), the process of getting one sufficiently developed to be ready to start actually writing down isn't so easily rushed.  So, put a pin in that for now.

Still to Come:

- The previously announced increase of the Nemitite tier from $3 to $5 per month is scheduled to go live as of next month.  Don't worry, I'll make another announcement closer to the date so no one's caught by surprise, especially any new backers who pledge during October.
