Important decision!

I have very important "talk". It is very hard topic for me and I need your thoughts on this. Today is 16th of March, pretty deep in current month, if we'll be honest. I added screenshot of one of our working folders. As you see, photoshoot is technically finished. With few close-up shots (like feet shot, breast shot etc), which are not that hard, it set to be sent you. We weren't slacking around all this time.
Due to tough situation in our lives right now, we were forced to change focus of working days to something else. Like trying to figure out what to do and how to live. Spending time on research and planning. Sorry for bringing this up again.
Every day our country stray far from being "free" or "civilized".
"I never was directly the victim of racism or nationalism here. Maybe because I'm easy going guy who finds ways to solve critical situations with humor. But, lately I started to hear "hate" from random people. Things too nationalistic, too racist, too misogynystic, too homophobic and just plane blatancy. About hard situation and sides involved. It becomes ugly. And I have a feeling that very soon people'll start to find "foes" among themselves. It is already happening, we just lucky living in Siberia." - this is what Tao told me the other day.
Motivation to do something increased.
We are trying to prepare for the future. Trying to push forward projects, that we haven't opportunity to shoot, but finished preparations for. Because we fear to not being able to work on them. Two weeks ago we still had many platforms working with us. Week later it reduced to half. Now we have almost nothing. Like those companies "literally" say in letters: "we understand your situation and really want to help, that's why we decided to close your shop or not be able to provide ways to recieve what's yours". On good side some platforms, still trying to help out by not forcing to withdraw funds. Because it's just impossible.
So it is better to do something with what's ready, than sitting around and doing nothing.
Right now most of our time mainly goes in preparations for shoots. Preparing sets, equipment, housing (some will need hard location change), logistics and many other things.
Here is the topic I wanted to talk about. Technically it's suggestion/proposition to you.
I want to suggest to move March's photoshoots to April (acording to votes, Lina won). This means, that Cooking Aerith and Afterschool Nezuko (our current in-progress photoshoots) will become two months project (for February and March). To make up for the delay and inconvenience caused from our side, we'll make more images from both photoshoots. And as BONUS we'll share one additional photoshoot from one of the previous months (it'll be different for each tier).
What do you think about it? Seeing how late we are with rewards, makes my heart unhappy with burden. I want to make up for delay, and it is the best solution we can offer you right now.
I want to be honest with you. Almost all end of March and part of April will be spent "on field". We physically won't be able to sit and work on March's projects post-production. Which will eventually lead to another delay.
But if you are feeling, that we should proceed with sending February rewards and starting to share with work progress on March's Lina as planned, we'll go with it. We'll do our best to work hard. Hope, you'll find time to share your thoughts or vote.
Thank you very much for your time. I'll come back with new post after voting will be done.
Please, have a great day! And stay safe!
