Lifeboats and Contingency Measures

Hullo Patrons (and other people that read my blog).

Apologies for the cryptic nature of the post that sent you here.  While posting the Harlot Spotlight earlier today I received a warning that that particular post had some naughty no-no words in it and might be reviewed by Patreon's Orwellian "Trust and Safety" team.

It might be nothing, or it might mean a very big axe is hanging right over my account and about to fall.

If this does happen and my account suddenly vanishes overnight, I'd like to let you know I have already prepared a lifeboat and have contingency plans.

I've been running a mirror account on SubscribeStar, featuring all the same content I've posted on Patreon, for the past couple of years.  If my Patreon account does fall prey to the axe, you should be able to jump ship and be able to find everything that was on Patreon.

Here is the link:

I had a feeling Patreon might not take too kindly to me advertising a competitor on their site, hence a bit of skullduggery and a redirect to my personal blog.

Hopefully, it will turn out to be a dumb warning and nothing will come of it, but it always pays to be prepared.

If SubscribeStar turns out to be a problem and you know of other similar sites you use to fund creators, please let me know below.  You can't have too many lifeboats in these crazy modern times!

Oh, and here's a picture of Succuba from House of Hellish Harlots.  I'm not spending all the money on myself.  I want to make a good succubus/monster girl game!

Many-Eyed Hydra is on SubscribeStar!

I hope.

I think I've set it up okay, but there's always a chance I might have boomered something up.

I've been meaning to do this for a while and finally got around to it.  I know some people would like to support me, but have either ethical or technical problems with Patreon.  Given that Patreon has deplatformed people in the past with minimal warning, I felt it was also important to have a backup just in case their Trust & Safety Team decides to get Orwellian again.

I'm not sure how it will work out.  I'd like to give it a couple of months to see what they're like in terms of ease of payouts, etc.  If you're already on Patreon, don't jump across just yet.  If you're not but would like to support me (and receive early looks at new stories and game releases), I hope SubscribeStar meets your needs.

Currently, I've just added the latest "House of Hellish Harlots" release (v0.035).

Going forward I'm just going to be mirroring posts so both Patreon and SubscribeStar get the same posts and attachments.  You won't need to subscribe to both.

(I have no idea how I'm going to manage polls across the two sites.  Combine the numbers?)

Anyway, it's another funding option, and diversifying income sources seems pretty important nowadays.

Here's my SubscribeStar page:

Let me know if there are any obvious screwups.
