The Rest of the Month (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

the holidays and the days leading up to them have sent my upload schedule for a loop, as a lot of you have pointed out. that sneak peek post about the videos for january was scheduled weeks ago before any of the recent issues came up, and so now may not end up being completely accurate in terms of release date. i'm sorry i haven't been super communicative over the last week or so, it's just been a lot of stuff going on all at once, from health appointments to holiday stuff, good and bad. that said, i hope you all have had a happy holiday season! but to address the questions that i see coming up in the comments:

the David Age-Restricted bonus audio will be coming out before the end of the month. you paid for it this month, you'll get it this month.

all the Soft/Hot Boi audios are still going to release (Asher, Ollie, Vincent, Lasko), though they will probably push into January (and their order may change somewhat), skewing the release dates for the upcoming Lasko, Damien, Huxley, and Vincent audios from what was originally listed in the sneak peek.

the Hot Boi Lasko video is non-canon. the Damien and Huxley audios are canon, platonic, one-on-one videos between each of them and the Freelancer Listener character, like the old days.

i appreciate your patience with all this. i know you guys are excited for this stuff, and i'm excited to get it out to you. there's just a lot on the plate right now. wishing you all well.

also, for those in the Devoted and Obsessed tiers, i know the discount code has also been causing problems again. those should be resolved by the end of today. (also Teespring released the code for the month to everyone through a banner on the store page, which is  further frustration, but i got that corrected). the short explanation is that Teespring keeps raising their productions prices, which then means I have to manually edit each listing to get them in line so the code works. I'll be finishing that today.

the long version, for those curious:

Teespring has to keep bumping up the production pricing on their side in order for them to make money in the current market, and in turn, that makes my profit amount lower every time. Which wouldn't be a problem, profit has never been my goal for a merch store, but if the discount amount of 20% would be greater than the profit, the code won't work because Teespring isn't willing to take a loss on their products (understandably so). So the issue I run into is that I try to list my items at prices that are about as low as I can manage while still working with the 20% code (because I'm not here to charge $75 or something for a freakin hoodie, that's ridiculous, having to charge $50 already is crazy), so then anytime there's a production cost bump, it often pushes it to a spot where the 20% off won't work because Teespring would have to take the loss and they won't (again, understandably, they're a business and I get that). So it turns into a micromanagement game of me having to go into each of the listings and identify which ones are no longer gonna work with the discount code, because Teespring also doesn't have easy visibility to things like that without checking each listing manually.
