State of Something Address for June 2020
🕑 Added 2020-06-24 20:21:31 +0000 UTCHey again guys, hope everything is going well for you. June feels like it's gone by awfully quickly, which I have to say is interesting compared to the last two or three months. But we're almost done with it, strange as it is. I know I've had general announcement things go through, but this one is going to talk about the general cover a few more things than anything else. So, without further ado:
Goal Reached!
As of last week, we finally stepped over the $250 goal, which means that all of the previous Patreon exclusive audios will now be released to the public! And I owe all of you a lot of thanks for that. It's clear I couldn't do it without all of you, as well as the spread of word about the audio projects thanks to Doujins.com and their articles about them.
As I mentioned previously, since we've spent about a week over the goal line, Daddy Jeralt will be released to Pornhub later in the week. You'll see it linked at some point, of course. After that, everything following that will see a monthly release, with Royal Pain coming out in July, 9Dress part 1 in August, part 2 in September, and so on.
I do want to make one thing clear; if this goes back under the goal, the audios won't be released publicly until we get back over it. I also don't make any extra money off of the public audios, due to Pornhub requiring some additional information that I don't feel they need regarding myself, namely my face. And I don't know if the VAs would want that either. Either way it's a painstaking method, hence why they're going to be available in the same manner the previews are.
What will the next goal be? I haven't decided yet, or if I'll even have another one. I don't currently have the time to add something new to my plate, and while I have some ideas to push for making the audios or their public visuals look better, I'd have to look into the cost for that and everything else. But I'll leave an update in that regard in the future.
Polls!
As of this posting, we have a poll currently up to determine the next Patreon prompt, as seen here. Coming up either tomorrow or Friday will be the poll to determine the next audio project that I'll be working on. Two of the choices are coming back, but I'll have a third one up as well to go with them.
Taxes
Okay, this one is a big one that I'm still having some concerns with. I haven't figured out if there's a way that I would pay the taxes that you guys would owe as opposed to you doing so, but after a talk from someone who's done more looking into it, this may not be an issue for you as the patrons.
The general support for the $1 tier and $3 tier shouldn't be an issue, since I don't believe general support or early access have a tax on them. I think the $10 tier might be fine as well, since the benefits tab doesn't seem to have anything under it. $5 is what I'm currently worried about, since I think bonus content like the scripts and any cut content or WIPs have a tax on them? That might be more directed at behind the scenes content, but I'm still not certain about it.
This is where I ask you guys that if you find something wonky in your payments come July 1st, that you contact me about it. I want to try and make it so that you don't have to pay a penny more than what I offer, and like I said above, I wouldn't mind taking the hit myself if it will keep you all aboard.
I think that's all I have to say about the matter. I apologize if I discuss this more than I should, but it's such an uncertain thing for me because it's not like there's a universal tax system and who knows how everything will go from here.
Commissions and Time
As I've announced on Twitter, commissions will be opening back up on July 3rd. However, I also want people to keep in mind that under current circumstances, I won't be able to have the same output I had prior to Covid-19 and the shutdowns.
This is due to a change in roles and hours, as I'm not able to work the same six hour shifts I had. I'm on eight hour shifts that last as long as the day, which is 11-7. Personally, I'm not a fan of it, because that gives me very little to do in the day and almost nothing at night. I'm working on it still, but I do ask for patience regarding when the stories get to you, as they likely won't be done in the same timely manner as before.
And I'm aware I had a pretty fast output before, but I'm just making sure everyone is aware.
I think that's all I have to talk about for now, guys. Thank you once again for your support! Here's hoping that 2020 ends up better for all of us!
Take care, stay safe, and be healthy!
