Some housekeeping! PLEASE READ

I was just reading through some exit surveys sand wanted to address some of the comments:

- would it help/be better if i reposted the drive link with any new story post? i think I'll start doing that this month (and also take the opportunity to refresh to a new link).

- there was a comment about payments--as a reminder, especially for people new to patreon: patreon charges you for sign ups on the day you sign up, but any renewals are charged on the first of the next month. So if you end up signing up really late in the month (as this person did ) you end up getting charged twice in a few days (side note: in the past a few of you have explained you have dedicated spending cards for patreon or similar things that get reloaded instead of having a direct account access, so hopefully this info helps out). It's bad for ME if you end up waiting one or two days to sign up to avoid the double charge (lol) but it's healthier for your wallet, so it's what I would recommend if you end up leaving and think about returning, or you're a recent sub that came at the end of August

- i don't particularly like Patreon's interface--in fact I wish I could pin this post but they don't have that feature in 2021 some how. i'm fairly more responsive on email since it doesn't take an extra step (and I reply to almost all of my story emails via phone) and MUCH more responsive on Discord, as some of you know, which is a better way of reaching me if you have questions/comments/concerns or whatever. 

- my schedule is still pretty not conducive to being available to respond in normal people hours--I work through the night so you might end up getting a direct response from me a day or two later because of it. also my prime writing times have changed which is why theres a bit of inconsistency in posting dates. i'm hoping this situation changes fairly soon--like within a week or by the end of october, and i can resume living in daylight like most people.

- as far as stories are concerned. i'm writing kind of a one off that's a little bit "classic fp909", if you will. I'm hoping to finish it this month as an EXTRA posting; a thank you for everyone that's old and stuck around, the new that have come by thanks to recent postings on Saradas or GWM or DA, and a nice surprise for anyone that's left, won't see this post, and come back eventually 

One note: I tend to be pretty reactive, and not so proactive with my engagement with y'all--so I'm hoping that more people will leave feedback or ask questions they've been holding on to. I'm not a likes beggar, but comments and likes help me gauge which things you like and which ones you don't, or what elements you like or not, which helps me cater to the general group of you of 50+. of course there will be hits and misses but I'm aiming so that mostly everyone is happy with BOTH stories monthly, instead of one or the other.

anyways, will have my second official posting soon. If i get the one off finished it will go out in september or, if not by end of month, definitely october!
