Important Update: Changes Going Forward

Hello, my generous supporters. Thank you for choosing to read this message.

First off, I want to beg your forgiveness for my silence over the past month. I can’t excuse it, but let me offer some explanations. For one thing, I’ve been dealing with some health problems, some of which made if physically impossible to type for a while. Worry and doubt have also dried up some of my creative energy. I did end up having a new story idea that inspired me to get some writing done, but that just led to another problem, specifically having my work taken down for breaking content rules. Both on DeviantArt and Patreon, I have had to remove or heavily alter posts. Even Furaffinity seems to be less welcoming of certain topics now as well.

As you might imagine, I am discouraged and worried about being able to keep publishing my work online as I have done in the past. I have spent a long time going back and forth, trying to figure out how I want to proceed. For a while, I considered just making my own website where I could post all of my writing. I seriously did some research and made some preparations to put that plan into action. Then, this week, there were some major changes set in motion to the government of my country. Now, I have concerns about continuing to exist as “lostandwhatever” anywhere online. I have even been considering just scrubbing all traces of my work off of the various websites where I have published it, as well as closing my Patreon and my PayPal account. That might be my safest option if I want to avoid negative attention. Having thought it over, though, I don’t plan on leaving, not yet at least.

For now, I intend to carefully conform to content rules on all the websites where I post my work. If anything feels even borderline inappropriate, then I will avoid posting it. I want to keep my Patreon account because I use the money I make to support other Patreon creators. That means, of course, that many of the things I had been planning to write will now be canceled and other things will be significantly revised.

Note: this does not mean that any commissions currently in progress will be canceled, but they will most likely not be posted here.

I have started a discussion on this topic on my Discord, which you can access through a subscription on Ko-Fi or Patreon. I look forward to receiving your feedback there.

Here is the current list of writing that I plan to continue working on going forward:

The Next Story Idea Poll for December will be posted around November 18th. Anyone paying $3 or more can vote in the polls, and, if you have paid at least $5, you can add an idea to the next poll. Message me here or on Discord or send an email to me at lostandwhatever@gmail.com before the 18th.

If you have any other questions or comments to make, contact me through Discord (I am “lostandwhatever” there) or use one of the links below.

Thank you all!

Thanks for your support.

It use to be if you did not like something you just moved on. Now if someone does not like what you write they try to make it so no one can read it. I hope you can continue to publish without getting into too much trouble. I really enjoyed reading your stories.
