Unfortunate news

TL;DR:

The summary above mostly covers it. My mum has been in and out of hospital all year, and she's not doing well. I'll be flying across the country in the early hours of tomorrow to support her and make sure she gets the care she needs once she's out.

Obviously, this isn't great for the writing schedule. At the very least, there will be no chapters next week. I've discussed before the technical issues that inevitably arise when pausing billing on Patreon, but I can't justify charging patrons when the chapter releases will be somewhere between spotty and entirely absent.

For this reason, I will be suspending billing for November and December. I will do my best to keep up with the inevitable technical issues, but my attention will honestly be elsewhere, especially in this first week.

I'm sorry about this unexpected hiatus.

Family first no further explanation required.

Jstwanaply Oblivious

As much as I want to read the next chapters, your mom is more important! Best wishes to you and your family. Take the time you need and don’t rush.

Amanda Dimitrov

As someone who's mother was told she had months to live and is still alive years later. I honestly hope for your mother's swift recovery, Brother.

Rolling Dust

I am as well. I'd be willing to subscribe at 100 a month.

Ruby

Anyone got the discord link? My payment for the month was paused and can’t access the chapter. Thanks shirt for saving me 10 bucks in December but I really want to read the chapter rn.

Hunter

Take your time.. your Mom is the important thing!

David E Parsons

all the updates you post is under a locked category. is there anyway you can unpause sing ups ??

Texpen

Please take my money for the months you are off, you should consider an annual option, you deserve built in time off

Brave Badger

Please unpause sign ups, I canceled so it could reprocess my payment and now I’m locked out

Brave Badger

not possible shirt stopped the billing for patreon so we dont have to pay while there are no new chapters posted. I also lose acces to the chapters on december 2th.

Stephcuv

Any luck? I'm in the same spot as you haha

Ashton Moore

The latest update you gave is under a locked category so some may not be able to see it. I would like to subscribe even with the knowledge that you do not plan to post additional chapters for 2 months.

Ryan Wright

I'm so sorry to hear this. Please take all the space you need. Praying for you and your family.

Laura McJilton

Nothing is more important than family. Glad you are stuck in the same universe as your mom so you can offer her the support she needs.

Lightning Society

No worries, hoping for the best outcome. Family > Work

Zack

I am unable to subscribe to content. I am new to patreon.

Sailesh Kumar Kumar

Go onand take care of her, you Shirtyloon!! Go on!! You will ofc come back to some very excited but very ready Adventurers when you do.

William Lane

Boris Kentlundi, casually mentions he had a reletionship with your mom

How is your mom doing, Travis? Good news we hope? I was sorry to hear she's having health problems.

Samuel Martin

Take care and our prayers are with you!

Zpeed3

How is she? Pray, that she is doing well.

Shope

Wishing the best for your mum! Just focus on that, we will be here whenever you can come back <3

Alex Frain

Much love, Shirt! Don't worry about us. Family comes before everything else. I'll keep the both of you in my prayers.

Thesaogamer Kirito

Take care of your mom Shirt, I also am not concerned about the billing in the slightest. I get the story here and still pre-order every book the second I spot it on audible and, considering the info I get here, I check far more often than is reasonable if I think about it...

Hanksville Noyes

These things happen. As much as I love this story, it's nowhere near as important as your sick mother. Thank you for the story I love. I, like most of your community, will be waiting for you when you come back.

Isaac Scharff

You don’t have to pause my payments. I’m happy to keep on keeping on. I hope your mom recovers well

Rowan Merante

Prayers for your mum!

Larry Rohdes

Hope your mom gets better soon

Malcolm Gray

Gotta take care of your mom! I hope she gets to feeling better. Make sure to take care of yourself as well!

Allen

Hope momma shirt is doing better

Jordan Rogers

Hugs and prayers for you too. I lived with my Mom for 4 years to take care of her. She wasn't eating right or taking her meds as she should before that. And I wasn't going to put her in a nursing home when all she needed was me. :-D

ShowBizGAL 1996

🥺💔❤️‍🩹

ABTelford

I lost my mom in 2020, so I know how tough these times can be. You go take care of Mom/Mum and then come back to us. We're not likely to go anywhere. I'll be praying for your family too, like it or not. :-P

ShowBizGAL 1996

Going through the same with my Mom- take care of you and sending light and love your way!

Alison Ooms

Family first. Hope your mum gets better. Thank you for letting us know. Now don't worry about your fans, we are your fans. We love your work. We'll be here when you get back however long that takes.

TwistedVanity

We're here for ya man. Get to your mom and we will wait and send yall the best energy possible.

Matt Turner

I’m sorry man. That’s not an easy situation for anyone. One that we all face eventually. I don’t mind if you don’t pause billing if it helps

-Sanguine-

I don't know your personal feelings on religion but I'm praying for her.

Hunter

Family should always be first and I hope you mum recoveries thoroughly. Also I personally think you should let your patrons decide to unsub for vacation & unexpected leaves. Just let everyone know you'll be away and since it's easy for us to unsub or not we can choose what to do and save you alot of hassle.

Jeff Roberts

I hope your mom gets better

Charles Nichols

Not an issue, family always comes first!

Jeff Peck

Sending love and well wishes. I don't speak for everyone, but I don't mind the bill. I'd be happy to continue supporting you while you and your family go through this tough time.

Michael Boyd

Family first. We’ll be here when you get back to it. Love and prayers for you and your mother

jpaquaman

Sarah Heile

Elizabeth Holzman

Leonard Christensen

Family first brother, I wish you the best, the story can wait

Lewis Long

Lori W.

Jennifer Virgin

I'm glad you are there for your mom. Take the time you need.

Wil Langford

Take care of momma shirt, go ahead and bill me!

Braden Lambert

Please don’t suspend billing… we can make the choice to do so. Helping you out when you’ve given us such a gift as your world to escape to is worth it, even if it isn’t just simply a decent thing for us to do….

Jon Harris

Hoping your mom makes a full recovery.

Erlost

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know for me, I don't mind paying even if there are no chapters. Just to support you in this time

Danny boy

Good luck and take all the time you need. Family always comes first.

Dan Ethwer

I hope she gets better and stronger.

TechB

Wish the best for you and your family!❤️

Matthew Arnold

I’m sorry for your loss. I really am! I only got back in touch with my mom 15 years ago and only recently started getting close to her again. Idk I just promise not to take it for granted. Out of respect and empathy for people who’ve lost their own. I wish I knew what to say to people who’ve lost people but I’ll just say even when I try to imagine what you’re feeling, as horrible as it feels I know it can’t even be close to the truth. All I can say is that I am very very sorry you’re going through this and if you have them lean on people you’re close to or lean on us here. All these guys are caring people.

DirePants

I hope your mother makes a full recovery and remains in good health for a long time to come

richard jones

I agree with all of this. And I’d like to add, your writing shows me that you’re a good person. Your mom raised you to be this person, who creates works of art that help and teach people in various ways. We’re all here for your mom, and we thank her for her influence, that through you, we’ve all been able to experience.

DirePants

Good luck. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Nate El

Take your time! Family I'd more important!

stanley richard

Don’t worry about us or the billing. Take as much time as you need to care for your mom and yourself adequately. This story is for fun, and you should absolutely take a break when real life comes banging your door down. Virtual hugs (or high five, or friendly nod from across the street) to you.

Chiqui Joy

I don't care if you stop writing for a year as long as you are in a good space to knock out this awesome stuff as you have been doing, take care of you and yours first, we'll be here when you're ready!

Steven Myer

God bless

Johnkevin223

Best of luck dude, sending your family well wishes. Keep the billing on, no need for you to deal with the extra stress of that.

Hope your mom gets better soon.

Don't worry about this stuff. Go take care of your mom !

Jesus Nunez

Will have your mom in prayer.

Quest Zone

Don't stop the billing! Go do what you have to do, don't worry about us. We'll be here when you get back ❤️

Anthony Dietz

also please don't pause billing - i want to help support you and mumaloon regardless of chapter output you don't need the stress of dealing with pausing billing, and those of us who don't want to pay when chapters aren't happening can cancel and re-up on their own

Xylily

So sorry to heard that Shirt. Wishing strength to both you and her. Don’t worry about us. I’m sure your Sophie aura will have her back on her feet in no time.

David Bosnak

Oh, Travis, I'm so sorry you're going through all of that. 🥺😢💗 I hope pausing helps put your mind at ease so you can just be present with your mum. 💗 You're so kind and considerate of others, I hope Patreon goes above and beyond to smooth things out in their system. 💗 Sending love and strength your way. 💗

Tiffy McKay

Don’t worry about the billing thing shirt! We want to be here to continue to support you both financially and in your personal life! Your work has helped so many with the way you address mental health!

joshua christopher

That fucking sucks. No worries shirt. Fam always comes first.

Justin Hunsberger

Wishing the best for you and your family shirt!

Superkoala2

I'm relatively new to this community, I Didn't know much about this series until I took a chance on it with the first book per a recommendation on Audible. With that in mind I wanted to say I have extremely enjoyed your work. I also wanted to extend my well wishes for you and your mother. Take care of your family and we will be here waiting for not only good news, but the rest of this story you have to tell!

sean abrahamson

I wish the best for your mom!

Samantha Kuhn

Also I don’t think you need to turn billing off. That’s just gonna give more headaches.

Justin

Do what you have to do shirt, we will be waiting for when you feel you can come back. Take all the time you need.

Justin

Damn, that really sucks, I don't think anyone's going anywhere, so take the time you need for you and your family and I'll look forward to the chapters whenever you get back

Joshua Struss

Sorry to hear about your mum. Hoping the best for her.

Joshua Osbiston

I hope she has a full recovery!! If you can, please keep my billing on!!!

Bryon Schmidt

Agree, keep the billing on, anyone vigorously opposed can unsub + resub. Wishing you and family better outcomes than anyone can currently imagine!

Joe Woodhouse

No worry’s family first

Branden Mccullar

Take care of yourself and take care of your family. I hope your mom does well in her recovery. We love your work, but it will all still be here when you get back. If a fan can't understand your circumstances that's a reflection on them, not you. If you choose to follow through with suspending billing I'd recommend November for now. December is too far out to make an educated decision on given the capricious nature of health and recovery.

Magnus Hate

Look after your mum and don’t worry about us. Keep billing. It is not an issue you need to worry about. Family is more important.

Shaun McKenna

Family first.

Zachary Ross

Keep billing on

Robert Landers

No worries Shirt. I hope your mother feels better. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Tom Whatley

Wish you and your mother all the best. Don't worry about making content for us, we'll be here when you're ready. And prefer it as such. Take all the time you need.

Brandon Mitchell

Take care of you and yours buddy, we'll still be here waiting when you get settled.

I hope your mom gets better and everything turns out ok. Like every one says, Family first. Please don't pause billing, I just found your Patreon page and I love your story's.

Sorry to hear family is everything. Take all the time you need a need the story will be here when you get back.

Jared Upton

I'm sorry about your father, Joseph. I'll pray for you and your family.

Laura Hemly

I'm really sorry, Chris. Prayers for you and your family.

Hugs and healing thoughts sent your way. Glad you are taking care of your mum. That's what's most important.

Karin Fish

Don’t pause billing. Family first! It will be 1 year in December since I lost my mom. All my best to you and your family.

Varatras

I'll be sending all my good wishes to the universe for your mom. I know it's tough to deal with aging parents with health problems, so also take care of yourself. Don't worry about writing! You and your mom always come first. And yes, keep the billing on. There's no point making a mess to deal with in the future!

Laura Hemly

Best wishes to you and your mum. I'm fine with continuing payments as well. Family emergencies should be paid leave.

Soli116

Sorry to hear that man. In all honesty, I'm actually fine with continuing to support you even if you aren't putting chapters out.

Erik Weech

Prayers to you and your family

Sorry to hear that. Be there for your mom.

Trace

You and yours have my best wishes.

Tenebrous Savant (Metatron)

I appreciate your conscientiousness, but I know there are many like myself that would be happy to continue paying to support an author not just as he’s putting out content but he’s he is taking care of his family, refreshing his intellect, and renewing his creative energy. Prayers continue for your mother and yourself and the rest of your family, Jesus loves you

BM

Best wishes from Canada! Definitely keep the billing up!

Peter Groom

Best wishes to your family shirt.

Mathew Chasan Calmer

Keep billing going bud, I think most of us have dealt with taking care of a loved one. I hope all goes well and your mmum gets well soon.

Jeff Colpitts

If it's not too late, I would say don't bother pausing, people can stop it themselves if they wish, and those who are fine supporting you for indeterminate chapters this month will do so, and then you don't need to spend time worrying about if it worked right this time

Brandon Walker

Best wishes to you and your family. Sorry to hear things have taken a turn.

Shawn Johnson

DO NOT PAUSE BILLING. PLEASE. I lost my mom on Monday and I know how hard it is. You don’t need to worry about us, take your time and take my money. You’ve given us this beautiful world, this amazing story, the least we can give you is time.

Chris Furry

I was going to say the same!

L Lane

Buddy! Take all the time you need, family is precious! This family will be here for you when you are ready!

Chris B

Best wishes to your mother

No need to pause billing. Your content is amazing and you're worth it!

Mindi Young

Prayers! I lost my father a few weeks ago, and your chapters have kept my mind occupied!

Joseph Lyon

Family comes first! I’m glad you’re able to support her and your family. Wishing you all the best. ❤️

Elizabeth Marticello

Take care of your mom and don't worry about us. We will be fine or can cancel on our own.

Archmage37

I'm sorry your Mum is ill and I hope she has an un-stressful move to her new facility. I've gone through this myself and I know the stress on you is pretty bad, too. Hopefully all will be happy and healthy once she gets past this current crisis.

Kazren

Take care of yourself and your mum. Hoping for the best.

Jacqueline Roscher

Family comes first man don't sweat it. You are exactly where you need to be right now. Your family is in my prayers. Hope she gets well soon.

Obviously, family comes first. Hopefully will hear from you in January. If it takes longer, that’ll be OK too no rush on our account.

Zachary Blevins

Take care of mom and be there for your family. I'm not religious but my thoughts are with you and yours. Thank you for your creativity and ability to share that world with us. Good luck and see you in the next year.

vortexkeeper1902

much love to your mother

vlocke67

Family first, man. Hope everything turns out as ok as possible. We'll be here when thing settle down.

Philip Kin

Thoughts and prayers go out to your mom, and to you as well, Travis. Writing projects can wait a month or two, but when family are gone, the hardest thing is to look back and wish you had prioritized them more. I'm sure Jason Asano would have some pithy and humorous comment to make, Emi would have some tazor-sharp insightful perspective, and Erika would be shouting "carp" all over the place. But we'll still be here when you get back, and we'll all be hoping for good news.

John Cooke

Praying that she gets the care she needs. Take the time you need we can wait.

Richard Bacon

Shirt mate, family always first. We appreciate your thinking of us, but your priority is and should be your family. Take the time you need and we will Be here when you are ready

Stephen Jackson

When you look back on this time in your life, you’re not going to regret making us wait an extra month for more chapters. You would regret not spending this time with your family. Go do what you’ve got to do and be there for them. You’ve already got us hooked. We will be here for you when you’re ready.

Rglobal1995

We love your content and we'll miss you! Take as long as you need ❤️ we'll still be here

Joseph Badger

Don’t you dare apologize! You will be missed, but take as long as you need and we’ll be here eagerly awaiting you when you get back. Best wishes to your mom.

Bingus McCready

Don't worry about us Shirt! Get some quality time with your mom!

Dalton Service

Speaking from experience, don't allow anything to divert your attention from what matters most. Thoughts and Prayers for your family.

Sorry to hear, praying for her health to improve. No pressure from us, you can even leave billing on if you want. Hopefully see you in the new year with better tidings.

Jean-Philippe Forest

Seconded

Samuel Strode

Take care of your mum we can wait

the reaper army

Agreed

Samuel Strode

Family comes first. I love your stories and look forward to food banter but split focus does not produce quality take the time you need for your mother you are in thoughts and prayers

Samuel Strode

I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. I remember when we finally had to put mine in a nursing home because the level of care she needed couldn’t be met by us any longer. It was a damned hard choice and situation. I wish you and your mom the best

Maria Klein

Don't pause billing man. Not worth it, it's a few bucks. Focus on your family

Devon Wojtasik

While I completely agree, there are lots of people who avoid any thought beyond knee jerk reactions and the pressure those people put is a real drain. I wish patreon would fix the pause process so it wasn't so stressful to people like shirt.

Justin Edwards

No worries, Family first

Saugat

Take care of yourself and family those are what come first.

Jacob Goodrich

Family comes first, no need to apologize. I’ll be praying for y’all, take care :)

Ryan Beech

You just focus on your Mom.

Jeremy Griggs

Take care of your family. That is the most important thing.

Ethan

I just spent a month going to the hospital to see my mom every day. She’s out and doing well, but it’s an important time for you to be there for her. We’ll all get by, but take the time you need.

Amy Scherer

Family comes first. I hope everything is okay and have safe travels

Joseph Sarafinko

Don't pause billing, let people stop it themselves temporarily if they want. We'd like to support you, and Patreon income is a way we can help you help your Mom. Much love and support!

Dirteejack

Good luck. I know it will be hard.

Gary Fox

Best wishes for your mom

gator mate

May your have a good flight out to your mom. I wish her a speedy recovery.

Elizabeth Schaefer

You have been cranking out shuch good content for so long, at an incredible pace, do not feel bad for having to take a break. Look after your mum and yourself. We will be hear when you return.

Martin S

You’re focusing on what is most important. Wishing you the very best in this difficult time.

James Henry

Best wishes for your mum!

Michael Kern

Focus on your family! I hope her health improves and stabilizes. Thank you for being there for your mom, it reminds me how lucky I was to have time with mine.

Allie

Your mother is far more important than chapters being released. Think we can all agree you should focus on her. Time is the most precious resource and the only one we can’t create more of.

Steve Rogers

Family First Shirt. Hopefully, your mom gets better!

Alfred Owusu

Your time with your mother is more important than spending time thinking about us. Go do what any son should and be there for her. May she get better so you can have a wonderful set of holidays with her. And don't forget to take time for yourself as well.

Zelmir

Family first. We wish her well.

Eric Totten

Family first ❤️

Donald Spencer

Family first. I think my sub already renewed so I'm not worried either way about the billing. For another logical reason to not feel down, and as much as I'd love to see the next chapter because of that diabolical cliff hanger, it's going to potentially be an intense conversation. To any of the harsher subscribers you're imagining, just argue that if you're distracted it could effect the delivery. Save that intense writing session in your back pocket while going through this for when you need a brief escape from reality. You even have the option for a POV filler next if you're feeling burdened like you must send out something. Either way, you have to balance life and that feeling of obligation you have. We will be fine waiting, you handle what you need to handle.

Frosty

Sorry to hear about your mum Shirt, hope everything is ok.

Jordan Brennan

Praying for your mom

Sparaten

Sorry about your Mom. Don't worry about the billing. We got you.

Andrew Whewell

Life happens; take care of yourself and your mom. Feel free to leave the billing running; happy to support you in this trying time.

Matt Streit

I wouldn't pause the Patreon with the issues that come with that. Just take care of yours, and we'll still be here when you get back to writing. I hope your family events and circumstances have the best results possible. If that means we'll see more stuff next year instead of now, then we'll see more stuff next year.

Richard Climer

I know what a drain a sick family member is on a person. I just recently lost my mom to cancer and spent the last 3 months with her in the hospital every day. You don’t need to waste energy on dealing with technical issues for stopping the billing. Take care of your family and yourself. I and many others would rather to continue to support you in your time of need then be a further headache that isn’t necessary. Get back to us when you can but your family comes first.

Jim Contreras

Family first. Hopefully your mom gets better!

Jon

I'm sorry to hear about the illness not the delay. Don't worry about us, take care of what is important. Sending well wishes to you and your family

Sam Chapman

Dude, for something like that, take absolutely all the time you need and then some extra just to be sure you're in the right head-space again before you get back on any kind of schedule. Sure, we all like reading your stuff, but you've got zero obligation to entertain us. Do what you need.

Jemini

Louie Lewis

Who cares about a writing schedule! Take care of your mom. I hope she gets better

Lonnie

Beloved. I am sure many of us can feel with you. When a family member is in hospital and especially such a close person like ones parents, that is always far more important then anything else. I hope she can and does get better. But first and foremost, dear one, if you read this, i want you to remember what so many people tell us about the experience of having a parent that has a sickness or even has to leave us behind: remember to search together to be in peace with your selves and each other. Everything else that happens then in the end does not become suffering but instead a calm joy of being there when it was needed. 🥰❤️ oh. And one more thing. I don‘t know what your personal beliefs are but I know what happened in my life and so i would say one more thing to you, whis is that when the time comes, no matter if it is now or in ten years or whenever. Remember Gary. 🤗

René Blaser

Best wishes! Family comes first ❤️ Hope her condition improves.

I'm going through the same thing with my mom.

Justin "Johnist" Johanson

Oh dude that's okay. It is what what it it. this job isn't like a normal "author job" where you pump a book out once a year and don't really interact with your fans. It's like a wire's edge amd a delicate balancing act. but that means there are times when you need to jump off that edge. For very real reasons You are human like the rest of us. And we get the benefit of having a wonderful story we love, most of the year. Take care of your mom. I hope she's okay.

Crystal Donak

Sliverdove

There is nothing you should apologise for, you have had one of the most unbelievable release schedules I have ever seen. Please go and spend time with your mother, take the time off and do not stress about what people on the internet might think or say, there are many of us who are captivated by the world you have built and will virtually stand by you. If there is any way that people can opt to continue paying while you are away please let us know, as I for one would be happy to continue and even if it’s only a tiny bit, alleviate the thoughts of the financial side

Michael Leer

Family first. Stay well.

Anne-Marie Mills

Love you shirt, do what you need to do ♥️
