Turns out moving to Cebu is probably going to be a mid-2024 thing rather than a late 2023 thing.

Report Summary:
- Mahou May 7-12
- Commission progress and finished commissions
- Adopt progress
- No personal writing this week due to a fic exchange.
- Posting Day is in two days so anything finished between then and now will be posted after next month's Posting Day.
- Separated WIP and full image posts between subscription tiers. WIPs are now 3 USD and up, but full images are still 1 USD.

Business:
Business updates:
- Sale extension and 10% discount to base prices until May 15.

- Adjusted Bard and Muse Subscriber Benefits: Bards can now request a free sketch every month; Muses can request a free sketch every month AND a free flat color image every three months.

- Reminder that I have shibari commissions open indefinitely!

- Cherub adopt still available now for slightly reduced price, but I'm no longer offering the ref sheets. Buyers can still get the color adjustment and color guide, but ref sheets will have to come separately.

- May's special offers for commission discounts are live! They are Oviposition, Homestuck, and Aquatics (mermaids, kappas, fishfolk, etc.) If you can't pay upfront, we can do a monthly 10% installment after 20% down payment.

- Still figuring out when I'll do the egg drive and how. Looking like it's gonna be an August event, since I have stuff lined up IRL for June.

 - Fixed up the adoptables on my buymeacoffee page

- Added ref sheet commissions (also 10% off until the 15th.)

Goals:
- 25/1200 USD from subscriptions.
- 616/2000 USD done for my repeatable art raffle goal.

Raffle Updates:
- Starting August 1 and then every four months, I'll run a raffle for paying subscribers; the winner gets either a custom cel-shaded image (simple background, maximum 2 characters) or a custom flat color image (simple background, maximum 3 characters.)

- The repeatable raffle prize is a fully lined and shaded piece of custom art. All add-ons are available for free. Entry into the raffle is automatic after someone purchases something from me.

Finished Works:
The following will be posted after May 15. In the meantime, here's some previews!
- Finished anonymous's cel-shaded commission! Took nearly five months.
- Finished a flash sale sketch for PEnfys.
- Finished the witch pack commission for KasumiKadi! Somehow only took like 2 hours; I really enjoyed this one.

The following will remain subscriber exclusive:
- Finished another flash sale commission for Gam and decided all their commissions are staying on subscribestar (with permission).

Publicly posted this week:
- More Mahou May sketches! This week's sketches were Ninja, Pirate, Winter, Summer, Autumn, and Spring.
- Did a quick sketch of one of my OCs and slapped some color on there. Atsuko Fuji, a 200 year old magical girl who looks like she's in her 20s to 40s depending on how topped up her magic is that day.

Writing Updates:
No progress this week because of a fic exchange.

IRL things are still messy, but finally slowing down. More importantly: I've revised art rates for 2023, and adjusted my TOS; general summary in my carrd. Taking payment entirely through BuyMeACoffee now.

Still about six entries queued, and I'm deeply sorry to everyone who hasn't heard from me on their commissions, but I promise I'm doing my best to catch up.

Meanwhile, I do still need financial assistance, so if you're interested in my work at all, I have a number of ready-to-go offers on BuyMeACoffee, including my adoptables, stories, and stickers, and you can subscribe there too for discounts now. Subscribestar is also still up.

Thank you for reading!
