Another journal, with a POLL at the end! (Patreon)

Hi everyone!  It's been a while, but I hope everyone's been having a good week.

I've been doing okay, been busy with work and the VN recruitment (and with Monster Hunter Rise, haha).  Vaccines are coming out soon over in California, so hopefully it won't be too much trouble to sign up after it opens up for everyone.  SOON, it will be... kinda over!

And yeah, I've been playing a looot of Rise.  I'm strongly considering making derpy stickers of the monsters, since I think it would be a lot of fun, haha.  So I might get started on those soon!

Since there's a poll at the bottom, and a ton of info, I hope you all have a great rest of your week!

Visual Novel - Writer Recruitment

I've been kindaaaa talking about it on here, but I'm starting progress on the visual novel again. I recently put out a recruitment for (paid) writers, so if you or someone you know is interested, please send me your info to my email!  A document with a brief description of the story & what info I would need can be found here.  I would suggest sending it in soon, since I'll be reading through the submissions and making a decision within the next week.

Patron-only Streams

I'll try out Patron-only streams on YouTube, though I'm not sure if I'll keep it or not.  It won't be request-specific streams, but more me drawing throughout the day.

The streams won't be the same as my Twitch streams though:

• It'll also be rated for 18+, since I may draw NSFWs on the stream.
• It'll be a music-only stream, aka. I won't be talking.  I will talk in the stream chat though.
• There will be occasional pauses, where I'm taking a break/lunch break, responding to an email, working on a private commission, etc.
• I won't be super attentive to chat, but I will respond to people in the chat from time to time.

If you wanna see me draw something, feel free to just pop it in chat and I might draw it when I'm feeling tired/I wanna doodle a bit.

I'll be posting these streams on both the Patron-only channels and as posts here, hopefully it won't feel too much like spam.  If you feel like it's a bit much, just let me know through a comment!

* Edit: Forgot to add this, but the streams will be available to the ★★+ tiers.

Poll - Reward Pack Distribution

For the poll, which reward pack system do you prefer? I feel that the current system is a little wonky, and originally it was like this because Patreon subscription used to work as "charge at the beginning of the month" whereas now, it can also charge patrons when they first pledge.

The new system I'd like to switch to is giving access to the current month's hi-res artwork at the beginning of the month.  For example, instead of giving all of the April patrons the hi-res pack of March, I would give the April patrons the hi-res pack of the current month (and the folder will continue to be updated as I release more artwork during that month).

If you don't have an opinion either way, you can vote the 3rd option or just ignore this poll.  I'd appreciate the input, since I don't really want to up and change the way I've been distributing the reward packs suddenly.  If it seems like more people prefer the new method (or don't care), then I'll start it for this month and give access to April's folder to everyone too.
