Hello, my loves!
NOTE: This post was originally posted on Patreon; however, there have been some updates. If you already read it there, please read it here, as there are additional details that I actually can’t even talk about on Patreon… which is another reason I’m so miffed with them.
I wish this post were different. It sincerely hurts me to write it. However, Patreon is changing and I can't stand by and watch as they continue to hurt many of their most loyal creators, including me.
As I mentioned in a past post, they have changed their TOS and Guidelines in such a way that many NSFW creators can no longer create the content they love and has brought money into Patreon. Specifically for those who create art, audios, and writing (they were already limiting models with how narrow-minded they are about showing anything below the waist, or how they interpret "explicit"), but for many of my closest friends who create deliciously spicy art and audios, the new TOS Guidelines have essentially killed their livelihood and is rendering me unable to post a lot of my best work. I'm sick of this and refuse to support their platform any longer.
In my heart, it feels like they are kink-shaming people who have been giving them money for over a decade, and I don't want to be a part of it anymore. My erotic creator's group and I have spoken with Patreon directly and the fact is, the new guidelines make it impossible to create content the way we have been, leaving us waiting for the ban hammer to hit.
Thus, my content is getting segmented, as many of us are forced to do, to other platforms. I have discontinued many of my tiers on Patreon and am slowly weeding it out, splitting my content up.
Substack - Moving forward, My Artistic Edge Magazine will be home to my past podcast episodes, video episodes, erotica, kink, sexuality, and bdsm education content and the place to go to support my research, sex ed writing, and podcast.
SubscribeStar - This is now the official home of all my NSFW digital art, NSFW AUDIOS AND SMUT - There is a free tier for those who want to keep up to date with my art content and subscription tiers are available as well. I'm in the process of populating the account and you will likely find content there you have never seen before!
Secret Diary on Substack - My secret diary is home to midnight musings, behind the scene content, erotic photography galleries, and has a mix of SFW and NSFW content and its been growing substantially over the past few months. I love the ability to connect with you all in a much more down to Earth sort of way and I'm excited to keep it going! --- I'm thinking of starting a Vlog style podcast exclusive to my secret diary as well and would love feedback on it!
UPDATE: SubscribeStar also invited me to join their website RiotModels, which is similar to Patreon, except it allows for the level of spice I wish I could post there. The BAD news is after extensive testing; they can’t accommodate the file sizes I use because most of my content is shot in HD and 4K 🤦🏼♀️.
Yes, I still have my OnlyFans, but I hoped to find a tiered structure rather than a straight one-and-done subscription. ManyVids is an option, but I’m not a fan of their platform either because it is so cumbersome. I’ve decided to use LoyalFans to bridge the gap a bit. - Because I’m scared of ban hammers, you can find the link to all this on my Twitter.
It seems like a lot because well... it is. I hate that there isn't "one platform to rule them all" because they all have their own guidelines that either don't allow spicy art, or don't allow NSFW photography/video content. There isn't one home for the variety of work I create, and to see large companies like Patreon doing this to people, it's down right wrong. I appreciate and love each and every one of you for sticking around, being supportive, and providing a means for me to continue creating for you.
So, what's to become of my Patreon?
I'm in the process of transitioning my content. I plan to leave my Patreon open with one tier for those who want to keep up to date with me and showcase more of my YouTube content, but my erotica, erotic audios, and art will be moving. I plan to leave up some of my spicy photos and, essentially, "clean house" in order to keep the ban hammer off my account. I may also change the name of the account to better reflect my YouTube channel (That Lit Witch). I may even begin to post some BTS content, as well as IRL stuff, updates on my personal life, maybe cooking, gardening, cosplay creations... but anything around the sexology, kink education, art, writing, audios, and podcasts will be safe in their new homes which are already populating. I try to make space available for people to support my work in whatever way they feel most comfortable because without supporters, frankly, I wouldn’t be able to survive or do what I do here.
With all that said,
🌺 April Plan 🌺
☐ Complete the transition to the above accounts and clean house on Patreon
☐ 2 New Erotic Audios exclusive to Substack and SubscribeStar - UPDATE - Two of my older eroticas have been posted to Artistic Edge Magazine but the files are too big for SubscribeStar so they might have to be cut in half. I’m planning to finish two others new erotic audios this month as well.
☐ Repopulate Patreon with YouTube content, Cosplay WIPS, and general real-life posts (gardening, studio updates, travel updates, etc.)
☐ Post at least 1 new Erotica to Artistic Edge Magazine
☐ 2 new pieces of NSFW art for SubscribeStar
☐ Refaire Content - 4 New Outfits
☐ Angel Dust Cosplay/Photography/Videos
☐ Continue working on Female Alastor Cosplay
☐ Complete Green Fairy Cosplay/Photography
☐ 4 spicy Self-Care item reviews posted to Artistic Edge Magazine
☐ 2 Podcasts
☐ Extras - In Real Life updates - Cooking, Travel, etc.
☐ Continue to post to TikTok, IG, and Facebook
☐ Probably a lot more because I try to give you all the best of myself! <3
I’m also considering cross-posting my erotica writings and audios to my Secret Diary here for you to enjoy even if you aren’t following or a subscriber on Artistic Edge Magazine. I would love your thoughts on this!
