Patreon, Weasyl/Pixiv, and Education Just a bit of an update on everything. TL;DR at the bottom. F by Fira

Just a bit of an update on everything. TL;DR at the bottom.

First of all, that Patreon campaign will be restarted soon. However, I'm going to wait until I have some things to post up before I do so. I've been setting up a writing environment on my Windows desktop to use, as I'm trying to move to a slightly more accessible (and user-serviceable) platform than a Mac. I might set up a Linux environment eventually, but right now, that's low on my priority list. I need to start working on stories, and I already have Windows set up, along with apps for writing in both LaTeX and Markdown, so I have both “short story”-length and book-length writing covered until I can purchase Scrivener, or at least get VERY used to not having it.

Second, about the sites I upload to. I have accounts on Weasyl, FurAffinity, SoFurry, DeviantArt, and Pixiv. However, each site has different rules when it comes to uploads, and it takes time to convert formatting between each one. As a result, I plan on doing the following:

  • Patreon early-access uploads will be on Patreon up to 1 month prior to any other site.
  • Aside from that, uploads will first be found on my website, Pixiv, and Weasyl. Pixiv doesn't really have formatting, and Weasyl uses Markdown, so these two are the easiest to deal with. My own website has little in the way of formatting for now, so it's the same as uploading to Pixiv. On top of this, Weasyl and Pixiv are the two sites I visit most, so there is a slight bias there.
  • Second will be DeviantArt (SFW works only). As DA has no formatting that I know of, and I don't deal with dA all that much, I'll be doing this between uploads to fur sites.
  • Finally, SoFurry and FurAffinity will get the stories. With SoFurry, I have to format it with HTML to get everything working properly. With FurAffinity, due to how it handles things like horizontal rules with plaintext files (why does it apply any markup on plaintext files!?), I'll be uploading PDF versions of the stories, which takes time to format in LaTeX.

Lastly, I want to bring up something else. My writing schedule will be running along side my study schedule, as I'm trying desperately to catch up on my mathematics skills. Long story short, my high school education was so shitty that it didn't even include Algebra, so I'm trying to fix that. I'm also continuing my 日本語/Japanese language studies, and will likely be attempting to write a story or two in both English and Japanese, so that will take up some of my time as well. As such, I'm not going to be producing stories quite as fast as I thought I might, at least at first.

TL;DR

  • Patreon campaign will return as soon as I can get some stories ready to post there from the beginning.
  • Uploads will be staggered across websites. Pixiv + Weasyl + Prismdragon.net, then DeviantArt, then SoFurry + FurAffinity.
  • My writing will be slow due to maths and Japanese language studies, and I might try to write some stories in English and Japanese.
