A short break (Patreon)

Hello all.

Not really sticking to my New Years plans to post updates less frequently, but alas, I feel this is important.

I’m gonna be taking a brief hiatus. I would of done this earlier in the month but I owed it to you all to get the last bits of content I had out for you to see. Galaxy of Scum started off as something for me and some friends to enjoy, a fun lil comic to satisfy some itches and help boost up the amount of content this niche has on hand. I shared it to the public in hopes that people who enjoy this kind of stuff would have one more piece of erotic media for them to indulge in, I expected in the beginning maybe just under a dozen people to take interest. But as we’ve seen, it really did exceed all expectations, the love and support I’ve received over what really started as a small time hobby has been humbling and mind blowing. I’ve met amazing people, learned a lot and made some content I’m very proud of, this all wouldn’t have been possible without your help, my artists and everyone involved and I wanna thank you all.

Recently however, due to a variety of different things, I’ve felt less than satisfied with my works and storytelling. This has hampered my creativity and motivation, and when you don’t have the drive to write, you’re going to end up making less than satisfying content you end up despising. After a lot of thinking and talking with close friends, I’ve decided that what’s needed right now is a short break. This won’t be a long thing, but just one that gives me some space to assess and reflect on the journey I’ve been on so far.

I’ll be real with you all. In the beginning, I only considered this a hobby, something I would write now and then and share content I wished to make on a somewhat consistent schedule. Just a light-hearted comic with no long standing plans and maybe some bonus works. However, as time went on, my love of storytelling and worldbuilding reawakened within me, something I thought had been gone for quite some time, getting to create work that people actively tune into every month to see was that moment for me. I realised I enjoyed making something that could be my own, so I invested more effort, tried my hand at creating a cohesive universe around Galaxy of Scum by borrowing from this and that with the limited resources I had at the time. It’s not easy trying to go off what was a fan-fic. It requires a lot of ret-cons, suspension of disbelief etc, it’s a headache.

This isn’t new, as early as two months into this I lamented to colleagues that I wished I had started off with a grander plan and story. Maybe it’s an ego thing, but that’s how I felt and still do, I want more ownership over my work. It’s why I consider recent events to be a positive learning curve, something that has helped me make the decision to try new things and work harder.

So what does this mean for GoS? Well I’m gonna be taking the rest of February off, unfortunately that means no more content for the next week or two, I’ll be using this time to really focus on what I have planned for the series and make the best content I can. I won’t be permanently offline, I’ll be around on Discord occasionally, but I’ll be spending most of the time talking to artists and other creative talents in this niche corner of the web I've had the pleasure of meeting. A brief pause with less distractions. My aim is to come back at the beginning of March with a ton of new, exciting stuff that I can be proud of. Both with Galaxy of Scum and other new series which we’ll be seeing! Honestly, I’m looking forward to what I have to share, and I hope you stick around to see what’s in store! 

Astra has a big Galaxy to explore!

See you all in March!
