Important Update: Billing Paused
🕑 Added 2024-05-17 08:06:03 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
Hope y'all are doing well! Sorry for the surprise announcement, but I'm reaching out with an update that is, admittedly, a bit challenging for me to make. I'm currently in the process of moving houses, which, as many of you will understand, can be a massive undertaking. Expectedly, this change has impacted my ability to produce content for FBMA (or any other projects I may or may not have in mind). If you remember the previous announcement, you might recall that I had expected to get back into writing now that I've graduated from university. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case — at least for the foreseeable future.
Additionally, I've been doing some thinking about the direction of FBMA. Frankly, I'm not entirely satisfied with how things are turning out for the project. I recognise that many of you are happy with and love the visual novels I work on — but I'm confident I can put out greater quality content and I want to hold myself to that standard as a creative. Because of this, I feel it's crucial for me to take a step back and reassess my writing and the project as a whole.
As such, it's only fair for me to pause the billing cycle during this 'hiatus' of sorts. I've taken breaks in the past for my health and stability, and you have always supported me throughout them — but I predict this respite to be of a longer nature, so I wouldn't feel right continuing to charge for content, especially when circumstances might otherwise press me into putting out subpar updates. Thus, from this month onwards, existing Patrons will not be charged for any of the upcoming billing cycles. Incomers will also be unable to subscribe to my Patreon. Appropriately, I will make an announcement when I return.
With the break from last month, I did cook up some new and intriguing ideas that I think might be interesting and appealing. But these concepts need more time to simmer and be fleshed out properly. No further word on them for now.
I'm not sure how long this hiatus will be. Maybe I'll be back after just two months. Maybe I'll take longer. There are more transitory periods ahead, and I'm not sure I want to complicate my Patreon with those pauses either. Whatever the case, I'm incredibly grateful for your support and understanding. From OIHS, to TSP, to FBMA, your encouragement has always been my greatest fuel.
Again, thank you for your continued support, patience, and belief in me. I'll keep y'all posted on any new developments! As always, I'll be readily available to contact on Discord. If you have feedback or suggestions, I'm always happy to hear them as well.
With lots of love,
orange

Hey good luck with everything! I am currently graduating and I had a lot of issues with actually pulling it off due to unbelievably stupid shit. First of all good luck! Second of all email those deans if you need too and threaten everything (legal) you can think of! And lastly take the time you need youve been a consistent and great content creator that we all love. Hopefully youll look back at this time and think of how great it was to get a break from at least one aspect of your life and you can take comfort in the fact we are all happy to wait for you!

I understand. Sometimes it's good to stop and think on what you want to write and how. Take care.
