Update things and a little teaser! · 12:13pm Feb 1st, 2017
Good afternoon my lovely angels!
It's been a while I have to admit. But I am going to endevour to be more active here regardless of me feeling bad about myself and the things that I do. So lets start with something that I have been putting off for a month now, new year’s resolutions!
My New year’s resolutions:
There are quite a few but aside from getting back into shape (Fuck I need that depression put me back months) but I have a few more resolutions that are specific to here. And yes, I know I am a month late with this. January has been pretty bad to me to be honest. I have been in a bit of a rut, but I am working past it with doing stuff.
* Be more active on fimfiction in the form of doing blogs that are not "I am not dead, I swear" in nature.
* From February forwards I will endeavour to put out at least 1 chapter or short story a month with hopefully a little more. But I am aiming for one a month.
* I want to finish a longer story, in the form of The Chains That Binds Us. Which I am estimating will be 10 chapters at least of about 15,000 words each.
* I want to get started on and finish my first non-pony novel.
I'm officially, and cautiously, opening up a Patreon page for you guys to check out and see if you'd like to support me and my writing. I’m not sure if this will work out, and regardless of if it does I am going to keep writing. If there is anything you should see it as... its a tip jar really. It wont influence my writing in any way, save for if it is successful I can probably focus more on my writing than I can at the moment.
Let me get to the big question first of all: Why?
Which is a fair question.
First and foremost regardless of how this Patreon thing turns out I will be continuing my writing, and will be releasing new content as I can.
Presently I am on the last 5 months of my contract working for a Dutch e-leaning company, with no possibility of extension to my contract. Afterwards my hope is to focus on my passion for writing as much as possible. I want to be able to focus on creating things for you lovely people rather than working a dead-end job that I no longer find worthwhile.
A onetime offer:
Now for the month of February I will be running a type of lottery. Everyone that pledges, regardless of the amount, is automatically entered at the end of the month (February 28th, at midnight Central European Time) I will draw the winner and they get a short story of their choice written, to be discussed in private.
So, to sum things up, regardless of success:
- You don't need to pledge to gain access to my normal content.
- Pledging will open up access to early viewership of the coming stories.
- You can pause or stop the pledge any time you want, there will be no hard feelings.
What you can expect going forward:
More content in general. I am going to try and stick to a release schedule henceforth, the details of which I will be posting with in the coming few days. I will be aiming for more one-shots, more structured chapter releases for longer stories. And blog posts with wither world building things or character concepts and sneak peeks to what I am writing.
Thank you:
I would like to take a moment to thank you for your consideration of supporting me. It means a lot to me that you would take the time to read through this. So, thank you for taking the time and if you decide to pledge thank you very much for your support. If not, then I hope you have a good day as well regardless. Please consider sharing my page, it does really help me get out there.
Social Media Stuff:
- Tumblr
- Twitter
- Patreon
Lastly I have a little teaser image for you all. This is still in the planning phase but it is going to happen!
Exciting isn't it? The story of Winter Gale and Cherry Stellar is actually going to continue! And Sweet heavens am I hyped for the things I have planned.
Anyhow, that is me done.
Have a nice day my little angels 
Yay! Now writings, I'm so excited now.
That looks like a promising chapter title.
Patreon will shut you down if you use it for lottery purposes. Raffles too.
It's in their ToS.
4405378 I am too actually, finally got around to cleaning up a few stories that I never edited / polished up on the side of writing songbird 2 ;3
4405433 Its been a REALLY fun chapter to plan out and I hope It will be a good read!
4405519 I see, was that a recent change? I remember The Abyss having a raffle promoted on his patreon (among a few other non pony creators I know). I'll take a peek thanks for the heads up!

It's been a change on it for a long ass while now, and Abyss probably didn't know either and went ahead and did that.
Pretty sure that they consider it sort of a gambling thing.
4407888 Well then let's call it something else. She asked one of her patron's for a (very detailed) story idea of about 1k/2k long cause she 'run out of ideas.' That way you don't break patreon's ToS.
4408468
I mean, that could work.
