If I were speaking, you’d be able to hear my voice crack from sheer overwhelming gratitude and the tears I’ve been randomly dissolving into all day.
Since I started talking about how Patreon is attempting to screw everyone over with their new fee changes, and how I lost 10 or so patrons due to people either boycotting the site or not being able to pay the extra processing fees, people have, well, you know how I compared it to being in freefall? Well it’s less freefall and more of a guided descent now. I might not have a parachute on, but other people do and they’ve reached out to try and help grab me and slow the fall.
Thank you.
Truly, and from the depths of my tired soul, thank you. You are wonderful human beings and I’d genuinely be lost without you. Both financially and emotionally. I really don’t think I could have survived the last two years without the mental and emotional support that’s been shown to me in this time. You’re the reason I’m here, both metaphorically and actually. You’re the only reason I get up some days, and absolutely the reason I sit down and work when I’m tired and everything hurts. But you’re also the reason I laugh, and cry, and rejoice everyday at still being here to see all the great and wonderful things you do, and all the things you’re going to do. You are so important to me, I don’t even have the words for it, which is saying something cause usually it’s getting me to shut up that’s the hard part.
I love each and every one of you. When I call you family, I am genuinely sincere. Thank you for accepting me as a member of yours. I will continue to strive to be worthy of such kindness. And now I’m just kind of rambling. I wasn’t kidding when I said I was at a loss for words. But I mean every one of them.
I don’t know what the future holds for my blog and patreon, but I do know I’ll still be here in the New Year, working my ass off to give you the content you deserve. I’m also in the process of upgrading the content of my reward tiers too, because honestly you deserve more. You deserve the moon as far as I’m concerned but in lieu of that I can offer you werewolf themed merch and words. That’s kind of the same thing, right?
Some people have reached out expressing concern over not wanting to use patreon to support me anymore and that’s absolutely fine, I get where you’re coming from. I’m not happy with them at the moment either.
If you don’t want to use patreon you can absolutely use my ko-fi account, either for tips or for purchases of tier rewards currently on offer through my patreon. I know it’s not as easy as a monthly $1 subscription you can set up and sort of forget about, but I promise you your extra effort is very much appreciated.
If you want to use my ko-fi to purchase tier rewards (or my paypal) be sure to message me here as well, so I can match up the details and contact you if I need to regarding shipping or e-delivery.
For those of you asking for my patreon despite their bullshit, you can find me under the same URL @ https://www.patreon.com/thebibliosphere
For those of you asking for my ko-fi, you can find me under my name @ http://ko-fi.com/joydemorra
If you’d prefer a direct paypal or require an invoice for anything, let me know, I’m more than happy to oblige.
Anyway. Sorry for the long post. I just…wanted to let you know how appreciated you are, and how thankful I am that you’re a part of my life. Even if you somehow keep tricking me into writing more vampire porn. Seriously. Who is doing this, who replaced my impulse control with vampires. I’m not mad, I just want to know what kind of methods you used.
Stay awesome family, and take care of yourselves <333
