Settled At The Range, Next Story, and scheduling
Added 2024-06-24 16:59:59 +0000 UTCHey everyone, so this is just a quick update about everything that is happening currently. First of all let's start with the scheduling, as you've probably noticed I've been missing a lot of deadlines, taking mini-breaks and struggling to update stories consistently. The reason for this is simply, I am overworked right now.
As you know, unfortunately this is not a full time job for me. I do struggle to find the time to update these stories some weeks when I'm too swamped with my job and life responsibilities. So to keep my sanity, I'm just going to cut back a little bit on my set deadlines, I'll still be trying to post 2 story updates every week but I can no longer guarantee I'll hit that, so posts are going to be a little unpredictable going forward. Some weeks there may be 2 updates, others maybe just 1, if it's a really good week maybe even 3. I'll just be posting whenever I can get the time to do so.
With that in mind, I do recognise that you're paying for this membership, so I will make sure you at the very least, get 4 updates per month (one per week), though I highly doubt It'll ever be that low.
Now onto better topics, Settled At The Range is officially complete, so that'll be up for sale on my Gumroad store sometime this week! I'm very excited to get it out and hear feedback on the story. Looking into the future I already have the next story planned (thanks to your poll results), and pre-production on that will begin soon! I'm hoping I'll get the premiere posted next week, but I make no guarantees. I think you're all really going to like it!
That's pretty much all I wanted to say, thank you all for your continued support, I've said it a million times before but I really wouldn't be able to get these stories out without your support so it really does mean the world to me! I know I haven't been posting as much as I used to, so the fact so many of your continue to support me is incredible, I really hope I can continue to provide you with content you enjoy!

I really appreciate the kind words! Quality is definitely something I really want to focus on, nothing sucks more than seeing an image just as it's being posted and noticing a clipping issue, or a default expression or something like that, it completely breaks the image and "immersion" of the story. I sure hope nothing takes me 3 weeks though lol, I should be able to hit at least 1 update per week 99% of the time! And yeah as you mentioned, it was getting to that point where I had to post 2 updates but hadn't even finished the first story update yet with only a day or two left. This of course led to me rushing the second story to get it out on time, either doing lazy uninspired work or having technical issues. Shouldn't be any more of that!

Frankly, I'd much rather get a quality update every 3 weeks (for instance), than some hurried posting that clearly needs some work, with a promise to "clean it up shortly". All the creators I support are the same way as you when it comes to updating. Worried sick they'll lose patrons because those patrons expect too much. Wish I could change that, but.
