January Update

Happy New Year! 2019 was a hell of a ride, but I'm glad we all made it. I hope you all found some time to relax at some point this holiday season. I took a bit of a break myself, but I'll be back in full swing shortly. Now for your monthly update!

Fics posted last month:

• Can't Lose with the Dress I Use, the McHanzo alcohol-and-UST-filled clothes swap fic, was here on Patreon first toward the end of November but ended up on AO3 on Dec. 2. Rated Mature. It also got some delightful fan art by Vimeddiee, which you can find right here!
• December's Patreon reward, as voted on by $5+ patrons, was the prologue and first chapter of In the Pocket, the sequel to Not That I'm Complaining. Rated Explicit. This also got some lovely fan art by MIAnewarcher on their NSFW account here!
• I got to publicly post my fic for the Rising Moon zine to AO3! Devil's Luck is a werewolf McHanzo fic rated Teen+ for hurt/comfort, character injury, and some blood and violence. Sifo drew some awesome art to accompany this fic, which you can find right here!
• 'Tis the Season was my surprise birthday fic for blooming, which also sort of counted as my holiday fic this year, thanks to the prompt I used. Genciotiste, rated Teen+, featuring holiday shopping, a beach vacation, dancing, and gift-giving. 
• Finally, I posted chapter 11 of The Only Ten I See, the McHanzo fake relationship only-one-bed fic. We are getting so close to the end, folks!

Miscellaneous:

• Hosted two patrons-only live writing streams on Picarto!
• Posted some year in review roundups to my Pillowfort, including:
• Favorite Fandom Social Media Moments 
• Writing Questionnaire 
• Favorite Fics by Month 
• Writing Snippets: Fave Character Scenes & Fave Funny Scenes 
• Behind the scenes, I poked away at more TOTIS and ItP, at my Danger & Dread zine fic, at the upcoming superhero AU, at a cute Symmarah one-shot, and at uhhhh a lot of smut. You can find a lot of this on the Google Drive, if you are a $5+ patron.

Speaking of which, if you're a $5+ patron and can't find the Google Drive, or if you are a patron at any tier and can't access the Discord, please contact me so I can straighten that out! :)

 Coming this month: 

• January's Patreon reward: still undetermined! Right now it's a dead heat between some Genciotiste smut and a Spiderbyte "and they were roommates!" sitch, with a Symmarah prompt close behind. There's still one more day to vote if you haven't yet!
• TOTIS update
• In the Pocket update
• A McHanzo "body worship" commission
• Patrons-only streams: Wednesday, December 8 at 7:00 PM EST, and Sunday, TBD. I'm still ironing out some weekend scheduling (travel, etc.) so I'll get back to y'all as soon as I know when the Sunday stream will be!

Stretch goals:

• Finish TOTIS completely
• Finish the one-shot WIPs just languishing in my damn drafts that I wanted to finish as December's stretch goals, lol
• Finish the Danger & Dread zine fic
• Get a head start on Femslash February plans

Lastly, reminder that I get three Pillowfort registration keys a week! I'm offering these to patrons first, on a first come, first serve basis, so if you've been thinking of joining, let me know! Those that don't go to patrons will be offered publicly, but I want to make sure y'all get the first chance for them. If I get more than 3 requests in a week, you'll be first on the list for the next round.

Thank you all so much for your support, whether you joined me in December or have been here since I launched. I've struggled to find ways to say this without feeling incredibly cheesy, but I'm so, so grateful for every one of y'all. <3 I hope 2020 is your best year yet.
