Yeah, as the title states, I really hoped I could have continued with everything while dealing with a cascade of irl issues, yet got hit hard by things. I'm fine physically, no harm done, but was quite exhausted mentally with something popping up practically every week. Never thought I would run out of chapters on Patreon but here we are. Even tried to show up with some updates but each time I tried to write something it just sounded ridiculous and more like a poor excuse. So, I stepped away from most media (even Discord, which definitely has been noticed). Was that a good decision? Maybe not, but I gotta live with it and I feel better now about some things that happened during last two months.
As of now, I have dove into the stories again. Apologies to those who feel like their time and money were wasted during this period. I can only hope to make that difference up in the upcoming weeks. And I realise it again sounds the same as a few previous times, which makes it feel bad on my side. I considered continuing to not say anything and just drop chapters silently, but realized some people might think they were scheduled like previously and I'm still not back on it.
So, whatever goes, goes. Thanks to those who stayed regardless of this shit, and also to those who didn't, of course. I'm grateful to anyone who ever supported. If anyone feels frustrated, I understand. I thought about pausing the page so it didn't charge people, but it felt like announcing more uncertainty and the attached announcement about it could have not reached everyone, bringing in even more confusion. So, since most people here are for the stories, I think the best option would be to provide more of all of them. That's what I'll try to do going forward. As much as physically possible to get over lost time.
And last thing, thanks to everyone who reached out in concern. I appreciate it. Oh, and this might sound quite morbid, and no things aren't nearly nowhere this level or anything, but I did instruct someone a long time ago to give an update here if anything serious happened that would prevent me from continuing for whatever reason. I hate the idea of disappearing without being able to inform everyone here.
That ended on not so joyful note, but imma try to fix it soon :v
Love ya.
P. S. I just noticed while writing this that today is 30th and gods I thought I still had at least a week or so before the end of the month and there's not even a 31st. Now this feels even worse.
