April 2024 Newsletter
Added 2024-04-08 19:42:07 +0000 UTCHI, all!
It's April (somehow) and instead of watching the eclipse, I am taking care of business!
(Okay, I forgot to buy eclipse glasses and the rats took my pinhole viewer)
Anyway, here is everything that is new!
Rewards: I have sent out the official Patreon rewards. For those who are new, these are freebies you can get from me as you accumulate pledges over time. This process is not automated, so if you think I missed you, comment below. Messaging me triples the time it takes to figure out if I missed you and I might not see it for weeks.
Audiobooks: For those who missed it, Radley's Apocalypse is officially on Audible! Dead and Horny has officially finished recording and is in the beta-listening stage, and I imagine book 6 will be recording soon!
Speaking of Apocalypse, we are now working on getting the paperback done for it, as well as physical editions of Christmas. Those fell through the cracks earlier this year and it's sort of been a perfect storm of stuff not getting done. But it's not about how hard you fall, but what you do when you get up, right? RIGHT?!?
Anyway...
Master Class 4: I will have some news on this book as well as an unannounced title later this month. So stay tuned if you've been following Eli and his adventures. I will say that I've got three books in various stages of editing right now, so I've been very busy in the background. I actually have a calendar now, and intend to use it to help me balance my life better in the future.
Lily Chat-Bot: Okay, so this one is kind of fun. I was approached by an AI company who wanted to license Lily and use her as a sexy chat bot. How it would work is 1) they would plug Lily and her dialogue/scenes into a Language Learning Model (the AI in question) and when you chat her up, the computer is generating responses based on stuff I wrote!
Now, to clarify, I do get paid for money people spend on this, and I've already seen a few hilarious conversations. If you experience one, please share them on the Discord or in the Dreamscape channel. This is essentially a virtual girlfriend based on my writing, which has been VERY surreal, I should mention.
You can chat with Lily here. There are also some other chatbots, so feel free to look around.
I think that's it for now! Ch. 118 is almost done and ready for betas, so stay tuned!

Hey I'm new just joined in the last few months how do I see/Access rewards? And also do pledges still add up if your account lapsed sat in between pay periods?

2024-04-17 12:51:20 +0000 UTCThey were giving out free sunglasses at the store for watching an eclipse but I didn't get them. I was concerned about the quality and it looks like I was right, the health authorities put a stop sale notice on some Amazon and local store solar sunglasses for not meeting the requirements. We did get 90% solar eclipse in my city. I expected it to be much darker considering how dark a complete solar eclipse gets but it was much lighter outside. It wasn't very similar to dusk or dawn as I thought when the meteorologists were describing it on the news. The smartphone camera couldn't capture what I was seeing, it was probably correcting the raw image. There is no way to describe the colors of the grass or the sky itself, it was something out of Lily's Dreamscape 😂😈
