What can I say except my former roommates cost me all my profits from Everfree and some change!Total Loss from moving: is 2773$

If not for that I would still be in the green/black but now because of that I am now officially 1000$ in the Red from the start of 2021 to Date.  Nothing I can do about it but hope for good cons and good streams with making the tip goal to recover.

Anyway, yeah that is why this report took 2 extra days. I was crying writing it out and seeing the damage that they had managed to inflict upon me.

The other reason I was debating this report is the level of openness I wanted to give. One of the reasons for Cinder's removal was the loss of 345$ to putting voice actors through crunch instead of giving them more time to work and asking for me to give them more time.  This resulting in us being a good company paying out DOUBLE fees for the last Audio Book chapter as well as compensation.  This was to all the voice actors who felt crunch pay was worth it and they earned it, no questions asked.

So yeah here we are in October and it's starting off very rough and I've got to make all the money back in 1 month to see Sophie for Christmas.

The military housing was my only chance to make that a reality and now well, it depends upon how well streaming does the rest of the month and how well I do at the conventions of Ponycon Holland and Ciderfest.

***As usual we display the last few months for Patreon and all Twitch payouts are from the previous month as they pay you for August in September and September in October.

It should be noted I had accepted being in the Red for September but the extra burden of moving put me nose deep into the red.
