[Newsletter] 2026 March 19 (Pixiv Fanbox)

Heya everyone :/

I originally wanted to release this newsletter on sunday the 15th next to new projects, but my life hates me, I guess? (2026 might be the 2nd 2025 for me, I hope I'm wrong.)

What happened?

Let's start with this. As mentioned above, I wanted to release a newsletter on march 15 next to new uploads, but my life threw rocks in the way yet again. I was quite occupied irl the last few days. In the beginning, I wasn't even sure if I wanted to include or mention any of this, but delaying it any further and I might end up in a situation that I can't escape from.

So, I got into a car accident, luckily nobody was hurt. However, I can't say the same for my car as well as the other person's car. Let me make things clear, am I at fault here? No. I'm 100% sure if I had video proof, I would win in court. That is the problem however, I don't have video proof (Install dashcams, guys). I don't want to go into more details, but the amount of money I owe is too much for me to actually pay. To make things worse, my insurance isn't helpful either. Even if I only look at the cost of repairing my car, I'm above 1.000€ :/

What's the solution?

I don't know. I had a lot to do the last few days because of this, but I "should" have free time now, so I'll try to finish my projects and release them as soon as they're ready. I honestly don't really want to do this again, especially considering my already existing queue of commissions, but I'm in a dead end otherwise. I need to accept more commissions. The next commission is already in the works (early stages) and I'm pushing myself to release it before march ends. If you can accept long wait times, then consider sending me a message on Discord, alternatively we can try Patreon direct messages.

Projects

Let's give you some updates. I'm planning on reviving "TSF Stories"/"Word Series". The series where I select a random word submitted by you and create a work centered around it. I'll make the first submission wave (technically 2nd) public now and you can submit random words here: https://forms.gle/Z2YYfNxmEmPGWDZ78

Memberships/Plans

I'm not planning to increase any prices, I want to make this clear. I might be in a desperate situation, but this is something I won't do. Instead, I hope that some of you who are financially well decide to use the new Membership tier / plan that I created this month. Any support helps.

A Secret at the end of this month?

I don't want to make empty promises here, so this isn't a 100% confirmed as of yet, but I might have something coming up that might be of great interest to all of you. Still, it's not fully confirmed yet, please keep that in mind.

Improvements

I want to inform you about some improvements I made to my character design.

I originally shared this image a week ago in discord, so some of you might have already seen it. The scene settings (colors, shadows, etc.) aren't 100% confirmed as of yet, they might change (Probably weaker shadows).

What's next?

My current plan is the following:

- rebooting/reviving the TSF Stories series

- the next commission

- potentially release the secret

- more commissions

- more TSF Stories releases

If you are in a position to do it and you want to do it, consider sending me a commission.

(I'm not recommending Pixiv Requests for this, since I can't wait for the money to be transferred in april or later.)

Now, let me include some of the points I already have written about in a discord announcement a week ago (Some of the points might have changed):

SubscribeStar

I'm not sure if you have seen the most recent news, but SubscribeStar apparently changed their policies to be as strict as Patreon, basically removing their point of existence as a less restrictive alternative to Patreon.

For context: https://x.com/incontinentcell/status/2031542875096309998?s=20

I'll try and verify if this is true and if it is indeed true, I will stop uploading to subscribestar effective immediately as it's not worth the effort. I don't think we have any subscribestar supporters that have joined the discord, but I wanted to inform everyone.

Pixiv Requests

I have opened 2 terms for Pixiv Requests earlier today with one limited time offer.

New rates are 300 Yen = 1 Page

Limited Time Offer: You can request a 60 page story for 10k JPY.

(Keep in mind, the requests will very likely be fulfilled shortly before the deadline arrives due to backlog of commissions)

Commissions

Commissions are still in a backlog. I'm currently working through them, but if anyone wants to commission me now, expect a long waiting time since I don't know how fast I can finish the current backlog.

Patreon

Few days ago, I started to use the group chats feature on Patreon again. If you didn't know, Patreon has a group chat feature that is somewhat close to a discord channel. I'm sharing information and ask questions there to my supporters.

Fanbox/Patreon new Tiers?

Since my financial situation doesn't look that great and I'm only gradually able to release more, I need to find ways to "fix" this without negatively impacting anyone. I'm thinking about adding a new membership Tier to both Fanbox and Patreon with a higher price, BUT no extra benefits. I can't think of any extra benefits that would justify this tier. It would be solely for fans that really want to support me. If some support me using that tier, that might help me a lot right now, which means I can prioritize working on projects, fix my release schedule and stabilize everything the normal way.

I also want to add a new membership Tier to differentiate people based on what they want. The new tier would be exactly the same as "Standard", but it would be called "Standard (Game)". They have the same benefits as normal Standard supporters, it's only existence is for me to know how many people support me because of the games I plan to make.
