DMs of Icarusmedia from Patreon

Hello,

(I thought I would send a message to previous/current supporters :-)).

If you are reading this then at some point you were supporting me and donating to me. Maybe you still are, this messaging service doesn't discriminate. I thought maybe just to send this to you and just give a little summary of whats been happening, but first:

I'd just like to give you a sincere thank you, maybe you're still pledged, maybe you aren't and are just following, or maybe even given up on Patreon altogether. Let's face it, I wouldn't be sending this unless I felt like saying thank you. Even if it is just 1 mass message a year it's something.

Some of you might even be my earliest supporters, like Mira (you think I'd forget the 1st person to pledge to me? I'll always remember you for that).

Anyway my videos have been going on from strength to strength, for my patrons I even took the money I got from 2 years of support and upgraded my computer, now you get videos in clear HD rather than the blocky videos of before. I always said to keep improving and the proof is the new style of video. I even humbled myself and asked another creator: Blacksheep Ovca for his support and I've learned from him/her how to make them better, in the end....for YOU, the men and women who enjoy my videos.

I think also fair to be honest and tell you the negatives I've overcome, I've faced my first patreon ban and I'm still producing and a problem where my computer would blue screen, both are now resolved and i'm gonna carry on.

The reason I thought I'd type this to you all is, yeah, hands up I'd love to have you back as a supporter, there...i said it, held my hands up and was honest. But in all honesty, I also don't mind if you just come back as a follower or just for a certain time limit. Sometimes a devout fan with a good word can make a creators day and spur them onto creating bigger and better things.

I'd love to hear what's been going on with you guys and girls too, found any other works that have caught your eye? I don't mind, drop me a message, always good to look at other works of art.

With regards, (and my thanks for being a current or past supporter)

I'm sending this message out in bulk to everyone. If you receive this it means that you are a follower, a supporter, a fan, a patron or you were at one point one of these things.

Right now many of the nations of the world are currently in lockdown, lockdown against an invisible and unfathomable enemy: CoronaVirus. I just this moment checked https://www.bing.com/covid and there are just over 1.5 million recorded cases globally.

With that in mind I thought I would write out this message myself and mail it to you all to say that whatever relationship we had in the past, whether it was a good one, a bad one, whether you supported financially or not. STAY SAFE. This virus, if the news is to be believed is deadly. I already have a full rebreather mask with filters just in case. Gather supplies, in bulk and preferably long life foods and drinks, if your country allows it gather weapons as if it gets worse you may need them. gather gloves, masks and sanitiser. Get vitamin pills to help your immune system. The less people get sick the less people will be in healthcare and put a strain on systems.

Above all stay safe and stay healthy.
