IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR JANUARY!!!!!
🕑 Added 2021-12-21 18:36:48 +0000 UTCHey guys. I hope you all have or had a great holiday season and thank you for your continued support. As always.
Effective January 1st, I am going to pause the billing cycle of this page.
What does this mean?
Patreon allows creators to pause the monthly billing cycle for a month, meaning that you will not be charged on January 1st the way you typically would. You will not be charged for January at all. Because you will not be receiving content from me in January.
What the fuck, why?
Mental health issues. If you know me and my, ahem, "brand", you can probably guess which kind.
Will we still be getting the new Army Wives on Monday?
Yes.
Will you be back in February?
100%. I will be right back at it in February. I will post a release schedule in late January letting you guys know what you can expect from me then, and to remind you of the resumption of the billing cycle on February 1st.
Is your content still gonna be here?
If you do not cancel your subscription, yes. But I believe that if you do cancel you will have to re-pay to get access to my backlog. Also, Patreon allows me to still post content even if I have paused the billing cycle. So while I will not promise anything, I don't see myself staying away from writing for the whole month. And if I release anything, it'll be on the house. I'll need something to occupy my mind. But I need time right now to not have to do anything. My brain is gonna be mush for a while cuz I've been at this a long time. I will be back though. I'm gonna be fine. It ain't my first rodeo.
So just to be clear: YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED FOR JANUARY. IF YOU ARE COOL WITH JUST CHILLING OUT FOR A MONTH WHILE I GET MYSELF TOGETHER, AND THEN HAVING THINGS RESUME AS NORMAL IN FEBRUARY, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO CHANGE OR UPDATE ON YOUR END. IF YOU DO WISH TO CANCEL, I GET IT, THAT'S COOL.
I'm more than happy to answer any questions you guys have, and I'm sorry.

Hey man, best of luck getting yourself together in the new year. You're a top bloke and an excellent writer. You deserve a break just like anyone!

Not only am I happy to take a break for your sake, but I’m also really impressed and sort of wanting to learn from you here. Your self awareness and your ability to know how to manage yourself given everything…I need to learn from you and do more of that. Thanks for role modeling good behaviors, I guess. Take care of yourself out there. Get some good replenishment time in, and we’ll be excited to see you on the other side.

I support 110% you taking some time off. We all need to relax and defrag from time to time, and I am glad you are taking time to do that yourself. I know we'll get even better content this way, rather than pushing yourself to get stories out by some artificial deadline. Enjoy your time off, and have a happy New Year!!

We love you STC!!! Don't even trip dude, metal health is super important! You've put out more content than anybody could ever reasonably expect, and on a solid time schedule. You're the gold standard for this whole community of creators. Take whatever time you need, we've got your back!!!

Perfectly understand take care of yourself man

Thank you very much. And yeah, you hit the nail on the head. I wouldn't feel right charging you guys for nothing, or trying to plow through and give you stuff that I'm not confident in or satisfied with for a quick buck. I think it's best I just step back and take a breather.

You're doing the right thing for you and yours and doing right by us fans as well, letting us know. Nothing to apologize for. You're a terrific writer who's elevated our weird little genre way past what it deserves, and I look forward to your return, whenever it happens.

Good luck man and I hope the break helps, I personally would be happy for you to take the charge for January, I know you wouldn't because you would probably feel like you're taking someone's money and not providing the service that we pay for but I love all of your stories and will happy wait until February, best wishes
