Argh! (Patreon)

Greetings my dear Patron!

Also greetings to you, dishonorable patrons.

I am in the process of removing some of my books from online stores in order to make sure they are exclusively available only on certain platforms and have been googling my name a lot.

As it turns out, I am officially popular enough to warrant having my writing (even the funky rants and stream of consciousness nonsense) shared publicly on a website which apparently that happens often.

Steel yourselves my patrons, and look about you, for one of your number is sharing these humble writings!

All good.  Not ideal, but I am flattered to tell you the truth. I am reaching out to the the site in question and we will see if they can honor my request or not.  To the pirate who may very well still be a patron, don't let me stop you.

I have quite a long and storied history with pirating content. I never shared content bought or stolen myself, but I have certainly been in the same room as people who were enjoying such content.  I don't blame you. Who wants to pay three bucks to peek behind a nominal paywall of some hack smut writer?

A few people, thankfully. And I wrote how much that meant to me in the previous rant.  Fear not my dear honorable Patrons, for I am not really too worried about it.  This is how things work on the internet.  All things have a right to be free to some fashion, do they not?  I am not going to pursue anybody or anything about it, but I have asked the website in question to remove that stuff.  Will it take? Who knows? If it is removed, will it be uploaded again? Who can say?

I always wondered what would happen if my stuff got pirated. I kind of made a stance on releasing paid content (This is from one of my earliest rants here or on my website if I am not mistaken.) and that I am against it in some ways and for it in other ways.  I like to think that I have released plenty of free content in relative proportion to paid content in my writing 'career' until now.

Quite the thrill!

So to my dear honorable Patrons, worry not, I will be keeping at my regular pace and will have the conclusion of Band camp by this week.  The cresendo is running away from me and just getting wilder and wilder. Over the top, really.

 To my dishonorable patrons, thanks a lot for reading and, sharing I guess.  Any press is good press they say and if people are searching for, reading, and enjoying my writing then that is great.  For me personally it is a bummer, but I get it. You do you, buddy.

Until we chat again, I should have 10k+ more words of some of the filthiest smut I have shared to date outside of recent chapters of Experimental Medicine. But EM9 should eclipse even this conclusion. Only time will tell.
