Dearest readers & reviewers,
I...am...ALIVE. I swear I cannot believe how long it has been since I've uploaded and shared, cried, and laughed with you all. I miss you—hugs and kisses (virtual due to this global pandemic). I hope every one of you is safe, happy, and healthy.
Now, it's Election Day here in the good ole' USA, and let me tell you - I am at my wit's end. This entire year has felt like some fever dream from hornets to COVID fighting for racial justice to just learning to breathe at my new work-life balance. A lot.
That said, I am reminded about how much I do love writing fics, and believe me, they don't end even when I'm not posting. However, as I consider working full-time, now in school again (gasp, Jesus take the wheel!), and transversing duties, responsibilities, etc. I WANT to get back into fics, but I also want to be honest about myself with such commitments.
That said, I like deadlines and goals, and accountability. I stumbled into and supported a few artists creating some amazing works that I ogle to no end. I've heard of writers moving their work there and having monthly charges for patrons to support their work and enjoy the fruits of their labor. It's sweet fruit, but it's also labor...so...
This is my humble request for feedback. Would any of you be willing to follow me and, more importantly, the fics' journeys into a new platform? One that, to be completely upfront, does cost you. If not, I totally understand that it's an additional expense, no matter how small, and I get that free work and art lets more people enjoy and participate. But, I figured I'd ask before I move things over and started working on full stories such as this one and my various one-shots. Also, there's a goal to flex my artistry (but predominantly, I'd use funds to pay other artists and support more fanfic writers and fan artists).
So - long story (not) shortened - lmk in the review section or via private message if you're down to "pay to read." Ya'll have literally supported me here, and for that, I'm eternally grateful & I cannot put into words the confidence ya'll have given me as a writer and love you have shared with me as a creator.
