Blue Mood Rising - Patreon Update

Hi everyone! It's been a very long time since I did one of these, and there's quite a bit to talk about: Crusader, New Years, Replies, Courland, Books, Q&As, Stalingrad, Plans... the list goes on. So enjoy!

Not sure I made this super-clear in the video or not so I'll mention it again. I'm rubbish at video editing. It's really not something I'm good at, and I think my time is best spent doing actual historical research, script-writing, and updating Patreon etc, which is where I think my time is better spent. So my current hope/plan is to hire an editor in January, assuming Article 13 doesn't destroy the Internet as we know it, and assuming we can hit the super-ambitious Patreon goal. I'm kinda thinking of hiring someone regardless whether we hit the goal on Patreon or not (although I'll then need to hit it at some point to make it sustainable) just because the increased output of videos should hopefully increase subscribers/Patreon supporters, which will then hopefully be able to cover the cost of hiring the editor. Either way, I'll reassess after Article 13 is out, make a decision, and then let you guys know what's happening. Increased video output is what I'm aiming for though.

Also, I still have to finish many of the questions for the Q&A's from a while back, but what I'm going to do tomorrow is post a newer "Q&A Requests Post" for new requests while I work through the backlog. Don't worry if your question has not been answered yet, I haven't forgotten, and will answer you soon.

And I will also reply to you all at some point too. Really really sorry that I haven't so far!

Finally, thank you all for your continuing support, and to all of you who have increased your pledges recently. I can't message you individually to say thank you, which is a shame, but I am really really grateful. As I keep saying, you're making this all happen. I can't do this without you! So again, thank you!
