My loves,

This past month has been… transformative. I’ve been deep in the thick of creation, reorganization, and long-overdue decisions—some liberating, some bittersweet. But all of them have been in service of something better, something more sustainable, and something that opens more space to give the time and energy to something exciting!

Let’s start with the biggest news of all:


💔 Farewell to Patreon, With Love

After years of trying to balance the complexities of NSFW and SFW content on two separate Patreon accounts—Tiffany’s Studio for erotic audios, The Submissive Next Door podcast, and select photosets, and my general creative Patreon for my brand, That Lit Witch, for my art, designs, and fantasy fashion—I’m officially bringing it to a close.

Tiffany’s Studio will no longer be updated with new content but will remain as an archive for those who still wish to access the library of audios, podcast extras, and visual content.

I’ve been on Patreon for nearly 5 years. It started out as a way for fans to support my kink educaiton content, and over time, it morphed into something bigger as I branched out and explored more of my own passions and began sharing them with my followers and fans alike.

As time went on, there began to be fewer subscribers for my research and educaiton content, and more for my erotic art. As we all know, Patreon is NOT adult-content friendly beyond the topless or artistic nude (and even then, there are specific criteria that must be adhered to), and thus, those subscribers began to leave as well in favor of the platforms that embraced more erotic-centric content.

As my design brand, That Lit Witch began to grow, and a new audience was begining to find me, I had to provide a place more aligned with what that audience was seeking… tutorials, spicy historical fashion, bookish inspired wearable art, insights in mythology and literature where I draw my concept designs from… there is still spice, maybe a few lewds and a heavy dose of female strength and sensuality. The elements that resonate through every fiber of my work. But, this isn’t the same audience seeking the same kind of experience as the audience in the past… which means the way my work is created and presented had to transform too. Both types of content creation make up who I am and what I truly find bliss in creating. It was just a matter of finding a way to honor each side of myself.

And I think I’ve finally done that.


🔥 This is where Fourthwall comes in and why I’m leaving Patreon.

Why leave Patreon for Fourthwall? Oh, friends. So many reasons.

I’m tired.
Tired of holding my breath every time I upload something spicy.
Tired of watching more and more of my fellow adult creators get removed without warning.
Tired of unstable payment processors and endless shadowbans.
Tired of Patreon’s cut, which shrinks even more when Apple’s fees and payment processing take their bite.

And honestly? It’s no longer sustainable to pour time and energy into building a house on rented land—especially when that land isn’t creator-friendly unless you play by constantly changing rules.

But will I stop making erotic content?
Absolutely not.
Will I stop NSFW work, audios, spicy roleplay, or photosets?
Never.

All of that—and more—will continue on the platforms that embrace it. If you follow me on X or Bluesky, the link in my profile will always lead you to my most up-to-date NSFW platforms where those communities thrive.


🌹Where My Work Lives

Here’s how my universe is restructuring. Some things are not changing at all, while others are making a big shift, in case you’re wondering where to find what:

🎙️ Tiffany’s Secret Diary (this publication)
This remains home to my intimate side—erotic photography, project updates, behind-the-lens musings, personal essays, and reflections. Substack does allow artistic nudity, which means many of the types of images my subscribers have come to love here will continue without disruption.

📚 Artistic Edge Magazine (on Substack)
A dedicated space for my sexology writing, kink education, sexual health breakdowns, smutty book reviews, and The Submissive Next Door Podcast archives and new articles. If you want the smart, spicy stuff—this is the place.

🖤 My Spicy Platforms (find them via the links in my X or Bluesky bios)
Erotic audios, spicy videos, full uncensored photosets, and NSFW roleplay content live there. These platforms exist outside the restrictive bounds of mainstream hosting and allow me to create freely and without censorship.

🧵 FourthWall: Home of The Inner Circle of That Lit Witch: My Membership Community, Shop, and Video Library
This is the big one.
I’ve finally created a hybrid home for my fantasy, fashion, and dark romantasy content that allows me to:

  • Archive and shut down both Patreons

  • Shut down my Shopify store

  • Host a curated, evolving shop of wearable art

  • House a full video tutorial library

  • House digital products like patterns, prints, and art, many of which will be free for members.

  • Host a members-only feed with behind-the-scenes content

  • Offer tier-based automatic discounts

  • Create a unified membership experience through the Inner Circle

  • Host members-only Exclusive Lives and Workshops on a dedicated members-only section on Discord

  • Run members-only giveaways

  • Create an entire collection of Members’ Only Limited Edition Merch

  • Create a more engaging and integrated experience for both followers and supporters.

  • Frankly, it also cuts down on costly overhead, maintaining Shopify, and the cut that Patreon was taking on two accounts was astronomical.


🗝️ What’s the Inner Circle?

Think of it as the enchanted gate to my atelier.

The Inner Circle is where my fantasy fashion, wearable art, and creative world now lives. With access to exclusive shop items, commission opportunities, behind-the-scenes tutorials, and member-only updates, it’s the best of what used to be scattered across platforms—now in one immersive space.

You can gain entry one of three ways:

  1. Become a Founding Subscriber to That Lit Witch OR Tiffany's Secret Diary on Substack
    You’ll automatically receive a free membership to the Scribe Quadrent Tier inside the Inner Circle. (If this is already you, I’ll send a DM shortly with details!)

  2. Be an Annual Subscriber of That Lit Witch OR Tiffany’s Secret Diary on Substack
    (

🦋 Recent Projects Completed:

Feature in Cosmopolitan Magazine

I am happy to share that I had my second feature in Cosmopolitan magazine this month! This was a fun interview I gave on the ins and outs, as well as safety measures on Sounding (for those are unfamiliar with the term, this is a very specific type of kink… a reminder that we don’t yuck anyone’s yum around here.)

I’ve been so focused on completing commissions and refining my sewing and crafting skills that I haven’t had as much time as I’d like to work on sexology and research projects. I’m hoping with all the shifts, this will also give way to a bit more time to dedicate to these passions :)

Tutorials

I was shocked to see one of my pirate videos went viral across all my social media platforms, reaching MILLIONS of views in a matter of days. The most asked question was where I got my outfit and how to find the corset. So, I ended up making a YouTube tutorial breakdown and full post with links to the outfit for others looking to recreate a similar look.

You can check out the post here.

Designs

This past month was a chaotic mess, but I am really proud of the skills I’ve improved, the techniques I’ve learned, and the new patterns I’ve nailed down that I can now use to create the first of my official collections.

Each and every one of the above outfits, with the exception of the violet pirate outfit (the skirt, white dress, and base of the corset were purchased) I hand-made from scratch. Some pieces were created with thrifted fabric and upcycled, others were created with silk chiffons and glittering knits.

As a side note, these designs collectively took approximately 70 hours to create during May. This doesn’t include the number of hours spent creating reels, photo sets, tutorials, managing platforms, engaging with subscribers, or preparing for this month’s content.

I do this as my passion and my art… I certainly don’t get paid by the hour for any of these designs, but I am rewarded with skills that later pay off in my ability to craft wearable art that I feel proud to see go off to future customers or clients.

But, honestly, I wouldn’t be able to do this without supporters from here and my other platforms. You guys give me the ability see these dreams come true. Thank you!

This month, I’m going to be expanding my skills to begin using baleen (synthetic whale bone) in more advanced corsetry. Up until now, I’ve stuck to using high-quality acrylic and feel confident enough to move into metal and baleen. And the designs I’m working on right now are literal FIRE!
