Important Announcement: Billing Paused till 8/23
🕑 Added 2023-07-24 02:58:33 +0000 UTCHey everyone, it's difficult to make this decision, but I've decided to pause Patreon for a month in order to get my spirit for writing back. As yall know, I've been writing and posting nothing but Patreon writings for over 20 weeks now, and for the most part I've enjoyed it. But since writing Diane part 5, burn out has steadily began creeping in and writing weight gain has slowly become a bit more of a chore. I certainly don't want to stop altogether, as I'm very happy with what I've done so far on here and don't want to just throw it all away. So instead, I'm pausing the billing cycle for a month to give myself time to write stories I'd like without the next Patreon story looming over my shoulder.
What made writing fun again when I returned a couple years back was writing about who I wanted, rather than what I felt people wanted, and writing personal stories for awhile gave me enough of a buffer of motivation to write stories for other people (like trades and gifts and such). I started Patreon because that buffer was still strong, and now I'd like to get some of it back by hopefully rekindling my enjoyment for writing fats.
I'll still be trying to finish up last week's voted on Scar story (kinda hard thinking of a decent stuffing scenario that doesn't involve vore in the Lion King universe), and posting it soon. After that, might let my batteries recharge and try and work on something personal; perhaps some anthro horse vore, or finally my 2nd chapter of my Gabriella series. How I usually function is, I focus hard on 1 thing for a good while, then wind down from it and focus on another thing. I just got to relocate my focus back on writing, and hopefully the month break will do it.
Hope yall could understand, and I'm totally fine with anyone looking to unsub. Thank you all so very much for your support, and hope you all have a good August π

go for it, everyone needs a brake at some point, and I don't blame you when story's get all the way to part 5s, variety is the spice of life!

This is both a welcome and none too surprising move. Democratizing production gives too much power to people who are heedless (willingly or no) of the implications of their decisions, without any of the burden of responsibility placed on them. Burnout is almost always the inevitable outcome. Good on Collin to get ahead of this tough decision before resentment sets in.

Take your time and enjoy the break!

Have a good break Collin. I appreciate all that you have done. And you are without a doubt one of the most hard working and most passionate writers out there. :)
