December newsletter (Patreon)

Hi!

ETA: updated the calendar so the dates are the same on both the SFW and NSFW versions.

December wallpaper attached :) Credits form will be in a second post shortly to the applicable tiers.

2021 Patreon Survey is here!

Every year I try to get a handle on how people are feeling about Patreon, and collect feedback via this form. If you have some time and interest, it's very valuable for me and I'd greatly appreciate hearing what you have to say!

2X HEAT Completed

Came in at 18 pages. I will be adding it to the launch table soon! It's good. I know it's a little weird that it took 2+ years to do a wax play chapter but here we are.

Scheduled break: January 2022

I've looked at the publication calendar and officially scheduled in a planned break for January of 2022 to allow me to catch up on a couple things and work on two major projects: updating the website and refreshing Patreon (more info on that below). 

Even though I won't be releasing 12 INVITATION at the end of January (which is when it would normally drop based on the every other month schedule), I will not be pausing Patreon because I'll still be working on Familiar-related projects. To help keep the Familiar content coming, however, I will be dropping the following content to Patrons:

- End of December: Thumbnails to Influencers, MAYBE a New Year's mini special
- End of January: Thumbnails WITH SCRIPT to Influencers, new website advanced access
- End of February: Chapter released to Patrons 2 weeks early (instead of one)

2022 projects: New website!

I am ready to update the website! I've spent 2021 working on solutions to get the site more mobile-friendly and to load faster, and also to accommodate the number of chapter that we have now. I have a good plan that has some neat new features, though my favorite one is honestly a responsive lightbox that allows you to open all the pages in a chapter in one gallery and swipe through. So, January will be spent getting this all launched, and I hope to have it done on time to give Patrons advanced access to it.

2022 projects: Patreon refresh!

Don't worry about this too much - I will not be changing any existing tiers. If you like the tier you are at, it will not be changing. The refresh mostly involves updating the landing page copy, updating the tier graphics, and preparing to launch 2 new tiers as soon as we hit the next Patreon milestone. 

Production assistant achievement unlocked

I'm also really excited to announce that I've officially partnered with a production assistant. Many of you know her as Rogue of RoguesArt, and one of the mods on the server. This is super exciting for me because it means I'll be able to boost the overall quality of the comic and still keep it on schedule. So, please give her a lil round of applause and visit her social medias:

I think that's all the announcements for right now. Happy incoming holidays and new year to everyone.
