Important Update and Changes for Free Members
🕑 Added 2025-04-10 11:18:50 +0000 UTCWell, hi y'all. As mentioned, I've been working to resubmit my latest post after Patreon flagged it for content moderation.
Unfortunately, there's some bad news for those of you who aren't paid readers. Buried in its community guidelines, Patreon has this brief-but-important clause:
The public-facing spaces of Adult/18+ Patreon pages must be free of sexually explicit material or nudity, real or animated, in any format. Such works should reside behind the subscription wall to be accessible only by the creator's fan community of paid member.
As such, I've gotta move all of my stories to be behind the paywall. A few other posts have already started to get flagged for removal.
If you're a free reader who's upset about this, I understand. If you've been following along, this was absolutely not my plan. But I like using Patreon. I've appreciated the small-but-mighty group of readers who are supporting my writing financially here. I'd like to continue to try to grow that group; skirting the rules and waking up one day to my account having been closed would be even more frustrating than making a change now.
The TLDR:
If you're a paid reader, you shouldn't notice any changes, and I'm hoping putting everything behind the paywall resolves this, both for this week's story and moving forward.
If you're a free reader, and don't want to pay, I totally get that. This means you'll want to find my work on other platforms, where I'll continue to post it (although things will still be getting posted here first, admittedly, for the folks who are able to support me financially!)
Thank you to everyone who's supporting me.

Thanks for this! I know not everyone wants to pay (or can pay). In that case, Literotica is your best bet; I’ll continue to post some stories to reddit, but because of character limits on posts it’s genuinely kind of tough to post some of my longer work there. Appreciate you reading!

a shame, but i'll still read avidly elsewhere!! any inkling on which platform might be the best to keep an eye on?

Yep, I've resubmitted it. I did make a few minor edits; there were a few story references that might've been flagging it for other reasons. They don't give you a ton of specific info so I can't say for sure, but I think it should pass review now and be available again in the next day or two, yeah.

Does that mean you'll reupload the removed content again as is? You mentioned you were gonna edit the latest as it got flagged but was it flagged along with the rest or was that a different case?
