Update regarding the aggressive comments and messages
🕑 Added 2024-10-19 19:20:43 +0000 UTCHey Patreons.
First of all, don't get me wrong. I understand where the frustration is coming from. But I just want to clear a few things up. This Patreon was started for people who wanted to support my work. Again, like I said before. This is not my job, I wish it was. From the beginning I have always stated that this platform is a way to support me. I have never guaranteed a certain number of posts because I knew from the start that it was not possible. Tier 3 for example only guarantees that you will get the part as soon as I'm done writing it, and I always done that. But as some as you suggested, I edited out the aiming for parts in the description. The edited parts are still being uploaded to Reddit for free. Again, I totally get the comments but I was shocked to see some really aggressive comments and messages that I had to delete and block.
You have to understand that I have to work a full-time job to pay my mortgage and care for my family. I can't just quit that job to focus on writing as much as I would love to. Last year has been really rough on me in my personal life as many of you know so I just don't have the time anymore that I used to have. I always said from the beginning that I only want people to subtribe and support me if they can miss the money. I don't want any of you to support me if you can't afford it. I also agree if you unsubscribe if you don't agree with me. No one is forcing you to support me, so if you don't want to, then please don't. For me the quality is more important than the quantity.
Again, I try everything, and everything in my power to write as much as I can. But this year is having been difficult. Fortunately, the aggressive comments are just a loud minority and I still get lots of support from most of you guys. I never thought that so many people would be interested in reading my stories. Before this, I wasn't a writer and never wrote anything like it. So, this all came to me as a surprise but my life kept going as it was. This is not an excuse, I just want to let you know that I always try everything in my power to upload and write new parts. It has cost me personal things in my private life and many sleepless nights but it has always been worth it. The threats I have been receiving and aggressive comments are a bit too far for me and I just don't know how to handle it.
All I want to say is, that I appreciate each and everyone of you guys and all the support you've given me over the last year and a half. I know that there are a lot of people who are frustrated about the release rate and that's totally fine. Like I said, I totally get it. I have always tried to upload as often as I could and as quickly as possible. Again, I want to thank you guys for everything. This has been a very emotional message for me because some of the things I received really shocked me. This is not what I was hoping for when I started this since I never thought people would still me reading my stuff after more than a year. I understand if you stop supporting me because you don't feel it's worth the price or you are dissatisfied. You have every right to feel that way. But I still want to thank you for the support you have been giving me and my wife. It has meant the world to us and helped us through difficult times.
For those of you that want to continue supporting me, thank you so much. This would literally not be possible without your help. It's crazy for me to read all the comments, reviews and feedback that people leave me. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to do so.
I love you all and hope to see you again in the next chapter.
Love, Armada and his wife.
