Happy 3-years anniversaryto Moving into the World of Streamers! =D Thank you! =) Progress Update & Release Date of the Epilogue (Patreon)

Hello everyone! Today, the 21st of June, marks the 3 year anniversary of my first release on AO3! And thus, 3 years since I have started writing fanfiction, smut, or anything at all - really. ^^

It's a special day for me. I still remember how terrified I was about releasing my first chapter, because I was so, so worried I would be bullied in the comments for my poor english. Of course, I could've gotten completely ignored as well - but I was incredibly lucky that a lot of people actually did comment! And they were incredibly nice! It motivated me so, so so sososo oso much! =D Without those amazing comments, I probably would not have continued. Especially since Chapter 2 did not get any comments for almost a week or so. I was nervous! But I felt the rush of positivity once, and I wanted it again - so Chapter 3 came along! =D and luckily, I got some comments again :D

After I released chapter 1, I had an exam in a different city the following day. So on my way back in the train, I opened my mails and read the first comments there. It was an incredible feeling =)

Three months later, in September, I started this Patreon. I didn't think it would make sense to start one at first, since I did not want to paywall any content. That is also why I only do early access releases - so that everyone who likes it can enjoy my work. =) Some of you have reached out in private chats and told me how much they like my stuff, and some have even commissioned me to write their fantasies! What a great, amazing honor! =O Thank you!!

With today being the anniversary, I really wanted to release the next chapter. Yesterday, I proofread nearly 5000 words - completing the summary. I also wrote 1500 words of Rae's breeding smut scene.

Today, I finished the smut scene, writing another ~2000 words. My plan was to finish it, proofread it all, and then publish it today. But I also still need the part which gives you updates on the remaining girls in the harem - and I am writing that as we speak (ofc i'm writing the patreon post now, but I was doing it right before and will get back to it after ^^)

The thing is, it is 2 hours until midnight. And Moving into the World of Streamers is incredibly important to me. Even if I managed to finish writing the chapter, proofreading over 4000 words in the remaining time is likely unrealistic. Not in any quality I want for this project. I've proofread and edited every single chapter, and even if the finale has been posted, I do not want to drop the quality now. I could possibly rush it, but I do not want my heart's project to be rushed.

I am a bit sad that I didn't manage to finish it in time, but I hope you can forgive me for that. And most of all, I hope you'll still read it when it does come out :) The good thing is, that it will very likely come out within the week. Likely next weekend, since that feels like a good time to release it.

As I mentioned before, I have not being doing so well mentally / health-wise lately. But with so much of the chapter being completed already, and me being very determined, it can't really take much longer than one more week. Edit: I plan to finish writing the chapter today, proofread and release it tomorrow (so the release would be the 28th of June). Thank you for your patience!

Nonetheless, even if I couldn't get the chapter out in time, I still wanted to commemorate the 3 years since my writing journey has started :) It's been an incredible ride so far, all thanks to your interactions! =) They are the sole reason I've been motivated, and I really hope to read many more amazing comments in the future :) I hope I've improved in that time, and I hope I have brought much joy into my readers' spare time - and I really want to continue doing so in the future, if I'm able to, and people still want to read me =)

I do not intend to stop writing any time soon - and once things in my life have settled again, I hope to release much more actively again! Chapters of Moving into the World of Streamers have slowed down lately, however, they've also gotten the size of several chapters! haha, so I hope you are okay with that! After all, if Chapter 50 had been regular sized chapters, I could have filled like 8 months with it ^^ hahaha

Anyway, i'm gonna get back to it now, and possibly go to bed before midnight for once. Though, I doubt it ^^

I just wanted to make this post so I could at least share my emotions here, hoping that some of you care to read it :)

As I said, sorry again that chapters are taking a bit longer at the moment! The new release is coming soon, and I hope you enjoyed the LilyPichu Patreon release in the meantime :)

Thank you so much for your support! And I'll see you in the comments, in the private chat, or within the week when I announce Chapter 51 =)

Thank you! And Happy third birthday to Moving into the World of Streamers! =D

*Hooorayy!!!*

*insert sound of one of those birthday-celbration-toot-blow-into-and-make-a-sound-thingys* xD (a party blowout it is called, apparently ^^)
