Thanks and New Stuff

Hey all.  Thanks a ton for sticking with us through the past month/month-and-a-half.  I've learned a couple things!

Number 1.  I stress way too much about a "career" that is meant to be fun.  I told you guys we wouldn't have new writing for at least a month and I don't think we lost a single patron. o_o  I should relax more...

Number 2. *pauses for the giggling to stop* Editors are really helpful!  I haven't done much over the past 45 days, but my editors have done a lot.  So everyone please give a thank you to Robin - who is my editor for Anno - and Alice - who is my editor for Academy Works. (We'll get to those in a second.)  Also, thanks to Chels who volunteered to clean up Butterflies (out of what I assume is pure love for the story?) so I can easily turn it into a physical book like Audrey & Staycee. ^_^  I told myself I'd never do that book thing again, and yet here we are.

ANYWAY!  It's June, so let's get into the good stuff.  We have two new stories.

Anno - This is a pretty long story (about as long as Butterflies?) about a girl who (accidentally?) goes to see a professional dom.  It's written in our usual S&P color-text style, with themes of acceptance and experimentation.  It's kind of like a pervy version of Butterflies, or a tame version of Little Luzy? ^_~ Anno is still in editing, but - in an effort to be a little less perfect - I'm going to release it as I go.  Hopefully this makes it less overwhelming for me, even if it might have an inconsistency or two.

Academy Works - This is a MASSIVE project Pudding and I have been working on for half a year.  It's going to be multiple stories with tie-ins to each other, hopefully coming together in the end to reveal a really epic plot. (Our inspiration here is Xenogears/Xenosaga, if that helps explain our lofty aspirations.) This is written in a traditional third-person perspective (no colors) and under a different authorship!  All part of the story, I promise. ^_^ 

I think our release schedule is going to be a little less than "one chapter a day", which is what I've been doing until now. (More like three chapters every three days, but same thing.) Rather than aiming to meet a self-imposed requirement, I want my motivation to be personal enjoyment and community engagement.  So... if you want more of a story, make sure to talk about it in the Discord. ^_^ Comments have always been one of the best ways to motivate us.

That being said, though we will announce new early access chapters on Patreon, they will be released on Discord in the #stories channel in an effort to fit the TOS.  If this is inconvenient for you, send Pudding a Patreon message (or email her at pudding@thatmademe.gay) and she will get you any file you want. 💜 

OKAY.  That's it.  Sorry for the long-winded post.  I'm a writer, so you can always expect these things to have a high word count.

Thank you again for your constant support. 💜 💜
