CTFMeister State of Affairs 2025
🕑 Added 2024-12-13 20:00:06 +0000 UTCGreetings one and all, it is yours truly the Meister of CTF. A moniker which I always found funny, since I would say CTF isn't the thing I do the most. That's not important now though. Today I would like to talk to you about what's going to happen with me in terms of writing going forward, and what you should all expect in the coming future.
Where are the fics?
Ever since I began this Patreon, I've been writing on a pretty consistent basis. Basically writing every day, unless I'm in some situation where I'm not able to write. For a good number of years, I felt proud that I could just sit down, print up 500 words in like an hour or two without much trouble. And I've released a fic per month at least. I'm sure there have been a couple of months I've missed perhaps, but there's also some months where I've released multiple so that balances out. That's a whole 5 years of writing if you're counting, considering I started the Patreon on 2019. And I was writing a bit more sporadically before that.
Unfortunately, I have reached a point in my life where that's just no longer feasible. Maybe it's my old age, already growing decrepit even before having hit my 30s. Maybe it's the wealth of responsibilities I've accumulated, now that I'm no longer a student and have an actual job that drains my energies. Honestly, the most likely culprit is the fact that I now have more hobbies, goals and aspirations that I want to reach. And as much as I love writing, and I do love writing, the truth is that in order for me to pursue the other things I want to do I need to sacrifice something. And that something has to be a good amount of my writing time.
Perhaps if the Patreon made me enough money to sustain myself, I'd be singing a different tune. God knows I would much rather write fics for a living than slave away at some kind of wagie job. Alas, even then I have a couple of life circumstances that necessitate I maintain an IRL job, at least for the near future. Regardless, the truth is that I just don't make enough money on Patreon to justify the constant production of fics that I've been doing all this time. If ever I do need an injection of cash (not that I'm in dire circumstances, mind you, but just in case I feel it necessary to have some extra spending money), it is much more beneficial for me to just take commissions. And trust me, I will most certainly be taking commissions whenever that time comes.
Tl;Dr - What happens next?
This post might sound all apocalyptic, gloom and doom like I'm retiring or something, but it's really not that serious.
The main thing that's changing is that I cannot guarantee a consistent flow of fics any longer. My one fic per month era is basically over.
I'll probably keep on writing on the side. I'll probably take commissions every now and again. Maybe I'll do some kind of poll or fun patreon thing if I get the time and motivation. I'm not going to stop writing all together. I'm still as horny and degenerate as I was before. But I just can't keep up with the output that I used to make. At most there will probably be one fic per month, and there's gonna be some months with nothing to show.
I wish I could do something else to entice you guys to stay, to convince y'all to keep supporting me and giving me cash but there really isn't. Any investment I put into this page is just not worth the reward I might get. If anyone wants to cancel your subscription, please go ahead. There won't be any hard feelings for me. I will say that any dollar you can spare truly does help me out, but it's not like I'm going to starve or anything so don't feel bad about cancelling.
In terms of Patreon exclusivity, I'm still debating whether I want to keep that. Having to upload the same fic at two different times is a bit of a pain on my end, so I might just abolish all together. I guess that is one positive of the Patreon. I will 100% upload everything that I do on here, while it might take a while for me to upload it on other sites or I might just forget altogether. But I'll try to make everything available to everyone.
Sorry to give y'all a bit of bad news before the holidays, but I thought it'd be best to get this out of the way as soon as possible. Thank you to everyone that has supported me over the years. It really has meant a lot to me, and I appreciate every little penny. Next time, I hope to bring a horny fic along with my words!

I'll always support you!! I was worried this would be you quitting entirely but I'm happy to see you'll still find time to write. Next time you do commissions I'll be sure to get a good one to help!!
