April's come and gone, whoops! It's May update time! (Patreon)

Hey everyone! Sorry for not much word towards the end of March and beginning of April, wasn't doing too hot for a fairly decent chunk of time. Doing better now, though, so yeah. Let's get on with the rest of the update 😛

March in Review

March was the very first month where we reached the $50 goal, which meant it was the first time I was taking votes for stories. The final votes were:

• Snowbound — 5
• The Realm of the Arctic Fox — 3
• What You Think I Am — 3 
• Runaway — 1
• My Ongoing Struggle Against the Bad "Woke Up as a Girl" Tropes — 1
• Nekokai: The World That Shouldn't Have Been — 1
• anything — 1 

What I ended up writing in March was:

• Snowbound — 2.5 chapters (5,953 words)
• What You Think I Am — Part of a scene in chapter 3 (with like five more scenes to go) (353 words)
• Three new draft oneshots/short stories: Blood (one chapter), Yin Potion (about half a chapter), and Haunt (less than half of a chapter), plus two more unnamed ones that were even less than that

In other words, I might've written 7-8k words in March or so if I'm lucky 😢 Luckily I was able to make good progress on Snowbound, though, which was what you all asked for!

April in Review

In April, we no longer met the $50 goal, so I didn't hold a new vote. (At that time, I don't think I would've been capable of holding it, but that's beside the point.)

With that in mind, when I finally got into the right headspace to write again (April 16th) I started on a brand new story, The Yin Physique. 

I wrote 19,787 words of The Yin Physique in about 10 days.

So yeah, that happened.

May Voting

Okay, so, we're back at the $50 goal this month, and I'm feeling pretty much back to normal, so let's try this thing again. Here's my current list of stories, and statuses for each:

• The Yin Physique — Very fresh in my mind, new chapters would come very fast
• Snowbound — Currently halfway thru a chapter. I'm planning to finish it regardless of the vote, so that I can finally dump all the patron-only chapters to Scribble
• What You Think I Am — Currently about a quarter of the way thru a chapter
• Runaway Still needs a bit of rewriting in the last few chapters in order to leave hiatus
• The Realm of the Arctic Fox — The space that this took in my brain has kinda been invaded by The Yin Physique, but if y'all want I can write more of this

I also have other stories, but they've all either been in hiatus for ages or are oneshots that need further development, so I kinda have to get into the right headspace for them I think. If you know one and want more of it, feel free to vote for one, though. I'll do my best 😊

Number of votes for each Patron tier:

• Tier Zero ($1) 1
• Tier One ($2) 2
• Tier Two ($5) 3
• Tier Three ($10) 5
• Tier Four ($20) 10 
• Tier Five+ ($30+) 15

Using the same system as last time, allocate your votes. For example, if you have 3 votes, you could assign two to The Yin Physique and one to Snowbound, or put all three in one story, or spread them between multiple.

And then I'll take the results of the vote, basically use it to figure out what to write, what you all want to see, etc. I'll try my best to make sure whatever gets voted for the most gets a chapter! If I'm stuck, I might talk about it in the patrons channel on the Discord (don't forget to connect your Discord to Patreon so you get access to that channel!)

You can send me your votes in any way — In the comments on this post, in a PM, through Discord, etc.

Thanks Again

I know things in the world have gotten pretty hectic recently — it's the same for me, of course, I'm not immune — but you all still are here, helping me keep writing. That means a lot to me, I can't fully express just how much I appreciate it. 🤍

Like last time, I'll do my best to thank you by continuing to write, giving you all the good words and making your patronage worth it. Mow!

I'll see you next month, cuties~
