Refunds and New Plans
🕑 Added 2022-12-16 17:23:01 +0000 UTCHi all
TLDR: You have been refunded your last payment. Payments will be suspended for December and January. I no longer have the capacity to publish 2 stories/chapters a week. This makes me very sad, so I will continue to write as much as I can in consideration of my other projects/work/health. I will try to find a new publishing schedule and will adjust future pricing accordingly.

So, I'm sorry. Last week (or maybe it's 2 weeks ago at this point) I kind of had a breakdown. Work piled up, I wasn't sleeping, and with each missed post the hole just kept getting deeper. My social life was melting away, my health was deteriorating, but even worse, I don't think I was writing as well as I think you all wonderful patrons deserve.
I think a lot of the recent chapters that I've posted could be a lot better. I think I could have a good story for Keyboard Karma if I just gave it more time to let it soak in. And I think I need to have more elegant installments in my chapters that push the plot along. TFB is moving wayyy too slowly, though I still enjoy marinating in the prolonged regression and humiliation of Angelica Von Regal.
All of these problems come from the fact that I got a new job. It's a typical 9-5 with about 45 minute commute times to and from. Unfortunately, I do need this job to sustain myself, though I do hope to transfer to something less time intensive in the long term. Regardless, the time required per week to post two ~4000 word posts is simply not available. With immense effort I can get close, but if anything comes up like a holiday, a work issue, or even a traffic jam, I fall behind.

Because of this sudden breakdown in December, I have refunded everyone's last payment to this patreon. I have also suspended payments to the patreon as well, and I plan to do this again for January.

Next Steps:
I don't want to stop. I miss my characters. I miss these stories. It's been nice to catch up on sleep but when I come on patreon and see other creators posting super hot diaper content, I want to dive in and send my own characters into big thick diapers and embarrassing moments too.
So, I'm going to figure out a way I can make progress on these stories while accounting for my other needs. I'm thinking of slashing prices considerably and posting about half as much as I currently am. I'm also thinking about cutting short stories, as these are the hardest things to write and take up the most amount of time. But I still need to test to see if that works for me.
I will keep you updated!
