Here are some quick writing updates before June: · 8:49am May 31st, 2019
1.) This month's Patreon Commission Story Poll is still ongoing as we speak. The poll will officially close by midnight TONIGHT, so I would recommend casting your ballots now if you haven't already. The poll is open to everyone, so you don't have to be a Patron to vote: https://www.patreon.com/posts/may-2019-patreon-27157190
2.) I finally finished all of my Patron-submitted chapters for The Many Short Stories of Equestria for this month, and MAN did it take a lot out of me! I'm probably gonna need to be more strict on word count for any entries from now on, but I'm also really proud of myself for making all my Patreon goals this month! I had a ton of stuff I had to write this month (rollover content from April, multiple commissions, a multi-chaptered clopfic, etc.), so the fact that I persevered is pretty damn cool. But with that being said, there's a chance that I might change up some things in the near future if I get more traffic on my Fimfiction and Patreon accounts. But don't worry, I'll be sure to let everyone know FAR in advance if that happens.
3.) Speaking of content, I technically have one other chapter for Short Stories that I plan to have finished by this weekend. This one is a prompt suggested by a friend of mine on Discord, and I agreed since I had the spare time to oblige. I only have about 2-3K words left to finish though, so expect it to be up on Patreon very soon. ;)
4.) Due to the debilitating state of my laptop, I've REALLY been contemplating ways to get the funds for a new laptop (probably something like a Chromebook, which combined with an external hard drive would likely only be around $300 total). I already have my Patreon page for current projects, but I've been considering implementing my Ko-Fi as an alternative means of funding as well. I have a ton of ideas that I'm willing to write out for the right price, so I've been thinking about making those into donation goals. If anyone has any thoughts about that idea (or maybe you have a better option), then feel free to comment below. If I wasn't one to listen to other's opinions, then I never would've opened up a Patreon in the first place.
Speaking of which, here are my available links for anyone who wishes to show their support for me outside of Fimfiction:
https://www.patreon.com/TheVClaw
https://ko-fi.com/thevclaw
https://troius-clawston.sofurry.com/
And if you're feeling especially charitable, I also have a paypal link here:https://www.paypal.me/TheVClaw
Anyway, I hope that all of you have an awesome weekend, and that you'll be looking forward to Pride Month! Just remember to show your support to independent LGBT marchants and artists, and not just any conglomerate brands who try to cash in on what they might consider to be a trend. We all have to work together to make a brighter future (especially in today's social and political climate), so please remember to be kind to one another. :)
