50k words, first charge since March 2021, billing & tiers update!
🕑 Added 2022-11-23 03:27:09 +0000 UTCThese were the votes I received in May 2021, the last time I asked for them:
Snowbound — 4
Reincarnated as a Fox — 4
The Once-Prince and the Wildling — 4
A Lot of Eggs and One Basket Case — 3
My Ongoing Struggle Against the Bad "Woke Up as a Girl" Tropes — 1
There were no votes for The Yin Physique, I believe in part because around that time I'd said that I was stuck on it and didn't think I could make another chapter of it? I don't really remember anymore tbh.
Anyway, here's what I actually did in the past year and a half (and what's been uploaded to Patreon in that time):
Tying the Knot, Chapter 1 — 2108 words
- A story set in the universe of DerbyGhost's And If Your Heart Stops Beating. This story probably won't be continued. It was a fun idea but I didn't have enough to do with the concept and it's always kind of hard to work in someone else's universes.
Not a Maid — 3535 words
- This is a completed oneshot. It's also available on Scribble Hub now!
Star & Friends vs the Pressures of Society, Chapisode 1 — 4592 words
- A rewrite fanfic of Star vs. the Forces of Evil, to be cowritten with rooibos chai. This story might be continued — I'm actually not sure, honestly. It depends on if rooibos wants to continue it with me and whether I get excited to work on it again. Even if not... I'm kinda planning on covering some of the same ground with Extra Credit for an Eldritch Horror anyway.
The Other Side, Chapter 1 & Chapter 2 — 5207 words
- A story about a war with mechs, between humans and "otherians", animal-people who live lives surprisingly similar to our own. This story probably won't be continued either, though I really did like where I was going with it. It was maybe just a bit too complicated for me, having to worldbuild multiple civilisations and a whole bunch of tech on the fly.
Resonant, Chapter 1 — 3396 words
- The first chapter of the sequel to Dissonant, a completed story by my girlfriend Lumina Mystere (and to a lesser extent, me). This time it was going to be much more co-written than the first time, but... we've hit some snags and given that Dissonant wasn't as popular as some of our other stuff, while being at least three times as complicated, it's been on the backburner till we're more financially situated.
Sisters Potion — 5490 words
- A completed oneshot. It's also available on Scribble Hub now!
The Yin Physique, Chapter 16 — 2329 words
- I managed to finish a chapter of The Yin Physique earlier this year that I'd started back in 2020. Don't take it as a sign that The Yin Physique will be updated regularly, though — it's a backburner project now!
Arachnophobia, Chapter 1 & Chapter 2 — 4217 words
- A fanfic of Marvel's Spider-Man stories, referencing ideas and terminology but giving my own spin on everything to tell a unique trans story. This one... I'd really like to continue it because I think it was doing some really cool stuff, but... it's hard to invest much time into fanfic since I can't sell it.
Extra Credit for an Eldritch Horror — 21,863 words
- An egg, cosmic horror aesthetic, and a whole bunch of mean girls with way too many eyes. What else could you ask for? This story is the completed Act I of a greater series that I'll be continuing over the next... probably years to come. (I really like the universe!) I have plans for two other acts in the main series, plus a side story I've just started outlining. Stay tuned for more!
And that brings the total word count for this cycle to...
54,737 words.
It's only a bit over 2.5x the value™
I may not have managed to write what y'all voted for, but I hope you're happy with this at least. Going forward, I'm probably not going to do another charged post, and instead wait for Patreon to allow me to switch to Subscription billing like I said on the previous post.
Speaking of which...
Subscription Billing Update
I contacted Patreon support because their help article said they could help me switch to subscription billing, but turns out — they actually can't after all. They're apparently planning on making it possible for me to switch to subscription billing myself, though? In the email they specify that they're planning on having the ability to do it by the end of this year. So... we'll see what happens I guess!
Tiers Update
The new tiers are as follows:
Spliced Across the Fourth Dimension
$1 US — Old stories I posted here at this price point, new stories that I price at $1 (probably won't be that many), Discord access, general support.
Extraplanar
$3 US — New stories priced at $3 (this will be most of my stories going forwards,) previous rewards.
Ultraplanar
$5 US — New stories priced at $5 (this won't be very many, but I'm leaving the option open for me to be able to price stories at this price point,) previous rewards.
e x t r a c r e d i t
$10 US — Bonus content such as outlines, notes, deleted scenes, unfinished drafts, etc, previous rewards.
Note: Anyone in the old $2 tier is in an unpublished tier which is basically a duplicate of the $1 tier.
Thank you!
I know it's been a long period of silence up till now, but I think going forwards things will get a bit healthier. Sure, I'm probably not going to be posting all the time, but I will be posting stuff as I write it instead of holding onto it because I can't for the life of me complete the chapter y'all voted for or whatever. (That was just silly!)
Thank you all for sticking with me through the past couple years. I can't wait to share more writing with you in the future!
Love y'all!

Looking forward to it, when it’s ready.

I was initially intending to release Extra Credit with the Secret Transfic Autumn Anthology but I didn't finish it in time. I was also planning for future entries to be in subsequent years' autumn anthologies, but a different event happened there instead, and I only made it like half a chapter into the next act anyway. I'll go back to this at some point too lol

Oooh, glad to read you have plans for an Act 2 and 3 for Eldritch! Might they end up in future itch bundles, likely autumn/halloween-themed ones? (Note: take your time of course! I want to read the stuff when it’s ready, not before!)
