Content

Patreon knocked on my door and asked me to remove certain content that goes against their content policy. It was quite a shock and very demoralizing for me, but I have no choice but to obey the rules. I have since removed the fics that contain sensitive content. What kind of content you may ask? Stuff like non-con and incest. 

This puts me in quite a pickle. Because moving forward, I have no other choice but to obey their rules and refrain from posting such content here. This includes as well certain monthly fics that I have lined up. I don't plan on giving up on writing them, but I also don't plan breaking the rules. For now, I will be looking into a possible workaround or change in our dynamic to resolve this situation as promised..

That is my rant. I apologize for that it took so long and apologies that I haven't been active as of late.

I have a suggestion Bro. Discord you can move it there.

Lately, Patreon has suddenly woke up o such content and started the purge on content creators. I sincerely wonder why now, all of the sudden?

I have been considering that since I talked to other patreon creators. It will take a bit of time to setup the logistics and stuff, but I think I can do the basic layout of the server at least.

Who knows honestly. Iirc it has been going on for a while now, and I'm surprised they took their sights on me when there's a lot of famous creators out there posting more sensitive stuff.

Or there is a person reporthing that stories, don't know really. Discord may be a good ideas, as Logarwin stated, though it could get messy with all people writing at once - still it's probably the best idea. Btw. did you used incest, non-con on stories which cause trouble?

One warning though - just now I spoked with YagamiNguyen, an other creator who got strike, and it looks like Patreon stuff even went to his discord and ordered him to remove links to stories which were removed from Patreon. Commisions are safe, as they are not funded through Patreon, but things like stories from polls will be targeted.

Banks and financial processors such as Mastercard and Paypal have been targeting sex workers and others lately (see the recent Onlyfans debacle); I'm not surprised that eventually Soul would be hit by it, since some other creators have been forced to remove content or move to another website. Patreon in particular has been asking people that write/draw things like noncon/incest/bestiality, stuff that would be illegal if it weren't fictional, to remove the content. Anyways, if you want to stay on Patreon it gets tricky. The simple thing is remove the offending stuff from Patreon itself and keep it on AO3 or other sites, but sometimes they'll use off site content as a reason to remove you from the site. In which case, moving to another patronage site might be for the best.

Yeah, I've heard from a lot of writers on how their Ao3 and other accounts got contacted, which is kinda dumb in my book. At this rate, moving to a different site may not be completely off the table for me.
