November newsletter (Patreon)

Hey! How's it going? 

Time for my first formal Patreon newsletter. I'm going to be doing this monthly to give everyone an overview of what's going on in my world. Start looking forward to it around the first of the month. 

 🔮  Patreon details added to Chapter List

First and foremost, I got some feedback about ease of access to Patreon rewards. I'm still getting used to using Patreon and figuring out the best ways to get things to you, so please don't hesitate to speak up if something is confusing or if you can't find something you're looking for.

To help everyone find things and understand the Familiar schedule, I've added a Patreon Details column to the Chapter List, which can be found here:

https://familiar.soushiyo.com/familiar-chapter-list/ 

(it's also linked below the chapter covers on the home page)

This table has all kinds of important info, but I'm also keeping it updated with important stuff like links to Influencer polls, the date that thumbnails go to Influencers, and which Patreon subscription months are listed in the credits (i.e. when your credit will appear since I'm working about 2 chapters in advance).

So, as you can see in the table, Patrons from September and October 2019 will be credited in the thank you page for Chapter 06, Sir.

🔮  Chapter 06 Completed!

Speaking of which, I'm happy to announce that I completed Chapter 06, "Sir," on time! Which means that I have added publish dates for it: Feb 20 for Advanced Access and Feb 27 for the general public. 

Chapter 06 turned out great and I'm super excited about it.  It's beefy at 26 pages. Among other things, it has a super sexy orgasm control scene AND it is the last chapter in the "flashback" section. Meaning the beginning of 07 will finally resume where 00 left off. 

🔮  Next: Chapter 07: Gift

During November, I will be working on thumbnails and building out the script for Chapter 07, Pinwheel, among other things meaning Patrons during the month of November will get credited in this chapter. Chapter 07 has one of Familiar's first "creative magick" sex scenes so it should be fun. It is also the bridge chapter between the pilot and introducing two important characters, Rosemary and Freddi.

🔮  More WIPs and behind the scenes content incoming!

I ran an informal poll a few days ago about where people want to see more Patreon-exclusive content, and a clear majority of the people who voted indicated they wanted to see it on Patreon. So I'm going to start posting more in progress and behind the scenes content. Most of this will probably be sketches for pinups/full art pieces; the final pieces will still go on Twitter, but sometimes these sketches never get finished. So I hope this is a fun way to add value to this Patreon, especially during the time between chapter releases.

The additional content will be posted for all Patrons at the Advanced Access tier or above. I've updated the tier descriptions to reflect this.

🔮  Influencer Poll Schedules

In order to make sure new Patrons at the Influencer level get the chance to vote in a poll for the month in which they've subscribed (even if they subscribe late in the month), I'll be moving the polls from the beginning of the month to the end of the month. So starting in November, I will be opening polls on the 15th and they will remain open until the end of the month. Hope this works better for everyone.

AS ALWAYS, thank you so much for your support, and look forward for that new content rolling in. 

Yours,

Jude
