I'm Alive and Patreon Update
Added 2024-09-01 04:44:06 +0000 UTCFirstly, I wish to sincerely apologize for your wasted time and money. I feel awfully ashamed writing this. I tried to give any month that I realized I wouldn't be posting free, but I also ended up not posting on the months that I thought I would. Still, despite all that, yea, I'm alive.
Well, mostly. I had a bad few months since my last update, but none that scared me anywhere near the news of Tinnitus and potential brain tumor had. Got a bad case of rickettsial infection in May, slapped together with a swollen and congested throat which did not allow any entry of food or water whatsoever, without a world of pain. It was made far, far worse than it should've been from the fact that most doctors around my hometown are a bit...incompetent? It took me a specialist's appointment who finally told me the skin of my throat is burnt off and prescribed the medicine for it.
Secondly, I'm fine and dandy now, and fully intend to go back to full-time writing in the same speed I had when I first started (well, almost). The next chapter should be posted on 5th Sept, no delay. Unless the chap drags past the word-limit or some such...I realise this is like the hundredth time I've promised this, but I intend to stick to it, whatever happens, even if I have to release a smaller chapter and it isn't as perfect as my ocd rotted brain wants it to be.
Thirdly, Patreon has changed a lot since I first started posting here. They've come down hard on a lot of people these past few months, and I always had a lingering fear I might be the next. Even though technically speaking, almost everything I write is kinda sorta within their rules (if we stretch and prod some things), I still do not wish to take any chances if I'm fully committing to this. So from tomorrow onwards, I will be censoring some of the NSFW scenes I believe might be problematic (they're posted on ffn so no worries, and will be on Discord as well). This might be preferrable for those who don't like reading NSFW when not in the mood. For when you are in the mood, however, as I said above I will be posting on Discord uncensored. So please, if you're a Patron, I urge you to join the Discord and take up your Patreon role. I will be reworking the Server with new channels to post full chaps there.
Fourth and last, if you're still unaware, iPhone has decided to majorly fuck up its patreon users, so anyone who're directly subscribed through the iPhone app will need to pay 30% fees that goes directly into their pockets. There is a very easy solution for this; just subscribe using Patreon's website instead. As in, google patreon on your web browser and subscribe independently of iPhone.
Well, that was about it for the personal update. The relevant chapters for each Tier are below:
Demigod: A Strange Old World Ch.23
Minor God: Mortal God of Olympus Ch.36
True God: Mystique Soldier Ch.27
Elder God: Mortal God of Olympus Ch.38

Also, special thank you to Austin and Daniel. And a massive hug to the rest of you. All of you lot are fucking amazing. I really doubt I would be alive here today if not for you (kinda dark ik, but very true).

Just a bit more, sry! Finishing up the chapter, though it crossed 10k. Will post in 10 hrs, or give an update if the chap stretches a bit more. It'll definitely be complete in a day.

2024-09-06 16:18:16 +0000 UTCSry, its a side-effect of giving a month free; no new patron can join and no one can increase their Tier. As for Ao3...funnily enough I used to post on it regularly, but I got all my fics deleted two seperate times so now I'm kinda hesitant about it. Currently I'm posting uncensored chaps on Ffn and Webnovel, as well as discord now.
