Hey there, smut believers!

I gotta be honest, here... At this rate, I won't be able to do much significant catching up on the unfinished comics if I don't take 2 or 3 of months to focus exclusively on them.

Before I got my schedule turned upside-down, my regular work in a given month would be:- Script 2 new comics to be released 60-90 days later.- Manage 2-4 artists for their wips on the ongoing comics.- Letter 2 comics and release them.But now I am doing all that, plus catching up with the stuff that's behind, with all the 17 comics from the last 12 months that I already announced but haven't finished. (19, actually if you count the ones coming in March). 

Which means I'll probably be burned out way before I come close to succeeding in that.

So, here's my plan.

- MARCH: Things go as they've been. I announce the two comics that are already scripted and add them to the release queue.

- APRIL: No new comics are released. Patrons from the SUBSCRIBER TIER will receive a different kind of reward for that month. I will work on finishing and releasing the pending comics from previous months.

- MAY: No new comics are released. Patrons from the SUBSCRIBER TIER will receive a different kind of reward for that month. I will work on finishing and releasing the pending comics from previous months.

- JUNE: No new comics are released. Patrons from the SUBSCRIBER TIER will receive a different kind of reward for that month. I will work on finishing and releasing the pending comics from previous months.

- JULY: We reevaluate and reassess the progress made in the previous three months and if things look in order, I resume the announcement of 2 new comics as usual. If not, I make a new poll and let you guys decide once again.

"Whoa! Wait, but if we're not getting 2 new comics for being in the SUBSCRIBER TIER, what will we get, then?"

Good question! I have a few ideas... 

I can provide content similar to the RECURRING TREAT that you guys got earlier this month (Hawkeye: Hero Trials).Stories and pinups that were commissioned or produced by friends of mine, who would kindly share their exclusive materials with you my awesome supporters. 

Also, as I have been doing for a few months now, every new Un-Delayed comic is also shared with current SUBSCRIBER TIER patrons.

If that's not enough, every SUBSCRIBER TIER patron would be granted access to the TRACYVERSE DISCORD SERVER too, where I share much more detailed materials, insights and previews about what's cooking behind the scenes. (There's other super special perks there too, but you'll have to see it for yourselves).

Also, by staying as a patron of any tier in those months, you will also receive the RECURRING TREAT every month, which is content that will NOT be available for grabs again anytime soon.

Anyway, I'm putting that decision to VOTE!

You guys have until the end of the month to decide what's best. I honestly believe the brief halting would be beneficial for the health of this campaign (...and mine, too), but I'm counting on you to figure out what to do!

If you have any other notes, questions or suggestions, feel free to comment below this post

Much love!-Tracy.

PS: Here's a visual glance of how those comics are looking right now. Each one that's got both cover and first page colored could be lettered right now, if I could dedicate my time to it.

Take as long as you need, quality over quantity. That being said I’m really looking forward to the Glory Hoes comic.

MisterJimmy

I did not and will not vote because there is no option for: "Tracy does what they think is best." I trust your judgement.

Tracy Scops

One thing I forgot to mention, but it's super important: You would still be CHARGED BY PATREON for those halting months of APRIL, MAY and JUNE. I can't afford to keep the clockwork going without income, and that income will definitely help pay for the artists that are working their asses off in the comics that are in production. And you would still be getting some exclusive rewards for those months too, as I mentioned above.

Jak O'Hara

I gotta see some of these new comics! 🥵 so whatever paths gets us there sooner, I'm all down to do 😁

Tracy Scops

Halting those 3 months would definitely make those 19 comics come out faster. And I would be releasing those in the meantime, as soon as they get finished, of course.

Jak O'Hara

Then how is this even a discussi...oooh, your letting us know this is what's happening 🤣 gotchu 😂 Go Trace! 🥳

Jak O'Hara

Ah not an issue, it's passive spending, go ahead and take me monies 🤑😆😁

Facundo Murachelli

I voted the same as the rest. You clearly need time, and we all know it's for the best, it's not because you wanna take time off or whatever. Whatever helps make it easy on *you* is what matters, after all, without you we wouldn't have the comics in the first place. Don't overwork yourself, Tracy. You've got this.

DaScoot

To be honest I've been thinking for a while that it would be a good idea to slow down on new additions until the backlog is handled.

Dashole

With your usual production values, I'm not surprised that the grind has caught up with ya. I don't know how you've kept up the pace all this time. In any case, I'm about to come back from my pause in March, so I should be able to contribute a significant parcel, as we discussed. 😉

Tracy Scops

Oh, booooy... They have no idea what's coming, do they? I mean... unless they're patrons of yours. Because then they'd know EXACTLY what's coming... 🙃

Tracy Scops

I was just trying to fulfill my promises and keep the releases coming as usual. But I finally realized I can't do both, so I'd rather just finish the amazing comics that are much closer to finish now.

Dashole

Well, they'll just have to face it. They'll have hit the jackpot! 😆 * I'll show myself out now *

Tracy Scops

Thank you! I honestly think it will not only make the current stuff get ready faster, but it will probably be better too.

Facundo Murachelli

Then go for it. It's a necessary thing and you need it. Keep us posted!

Silver

Oh man they're a lot. Maybe yeah focus on recent unreleased than new releases but gonna miss your comics 🥲

The Phantom Strangler

Mr. Scops I had a question. Are any artists under your umbrella accepting commissions? I got some cash, and I got some ideas, but I really don't know where to start to make the magic happen. If you or anyone else you think might be interested... we'll, here I am. By the way, I support the quality over quantity approach. I think everyone else here agrees you should take your time and catchup on the back log. Sounds like you have a busy year ahead of you.

Tracy Scops

Oh, I couldn't be sure if the artists have any commission slots open. You'd probably have a better answer by contacting them directly. Here's links for the socials of some of them: Llamaboy: https://twitter.com/breno_ksp Luis XIII: https://twitter.com/luisxiiiart X-Geek: https://twitter.com/xgeek_art Denideni Kun: https://twitter.com/DenideniKun Saibutts: https://twitter.com/saibutts_cc Garth GT: https://twitter.com/GarthFT ALX (aka Fuckit): https://www.hentai-foundry.com/user/fuckit/

I'll start casting the net sometime this week. Thanks for the references.

Hivedragon

Even with the continued payment of those months I would say, no new releases for those months. Getting through that backlog is more important.
