Patreon Highlights
- Patreon remained on track for August, September, and October. Still releasing them to schedule.
- I gained lost five patrons and gained two; I also had a top tier patron modify their pledge amount downward (hopefully not permanently according to them). That loss hurt.
- I remain aware COVID-19 is impacting some folks ability to pledge and I hold no grudges if you have to cancel. Believe me, I know all about tightening the belt. For those who stay – thank you. You make writing a possible thing for me.
- Still using a voting mechanic for Patreon Specials – still not getting more than 30% to 45% of patrons to vote. Still no idea how to increase that.
- No fiction was released during August, September, or October. 🙁
Miscellaneous Related News
- My wuxia fantasy campaign, “Ten Thousand Jade Petals” remains nicely on track. C-Team hasn’t met since August because of schedule conflicts. SIGH. B-Team got their reboot and we’re chugging right along. Currently, they are stuck in the middle of a city without resources from their Patron and are going to have to stop some neferious plotting by some demon-summoning mages. Should be fun. A-Team’s characters are all done except for one and that one should be done this week.
- I got my break (from August 6th to October 6th) and all I can say is I need another one. I’m a lot less frayed, but I could still use some more time off from things. Maybe next year sometime.
