Really big turnout this time! I'm super happy to see so many folks got involved both here and on the discord! (Where I ended up pinging the new-release roll, which got a lot more answers >u>)

Though such a big turnout meant that the extra weight given to subscribers didn't make _as_ much of a splash, which makes me a bit nervous <u>. I live in fear of the day that folks here and on the discord are _entirely divided on what they want_... Should I adjust weights...? I don't know <u>

Either way, it isnt a problem this time around, as the two fore-runners in the discord were ALSO ones the folks here selected! So they obviously had interest!~

Full disclosure, I actually was the vote that brought things to a tie this time around! My single vote was enough to get both Dollification Play and Wife-ification to be split down the middle!~
... And I also get to be the one who resolves the tie~ >u>

This was a bit tough, because I DO like both of these ideas... But in the end, I decided that I wanted to try something new, that also probably wouldn't be too time consuming or difficult to write, to get me back into the swing of things.

So in the end, I decided...

Play File: Stolen and Dollified by another Doll~

I still need to come up with a good name for this, but for those who didn't keep track of the past polls where I explained it, heres the pitch:

So yeee!~. I'm going to start work on writing that fairly soon!~
I don't know how long it will end up being, but I'm hoping it wont take too much time, while also being a big boost of new inspiration!~

It also is nice to see the productivity drone idea get some love ^^. That is one I personally really wana do eventually ~~if only because I would get use out of it >u>~~

Now, lets move on to...

(which hasn't been very consistent lately, has it...?)

Things are going... Alright <u>.
Currently they are, atleast.
Things have once again been hectic as all hell for a while. Two weeks ago, I was out for a close family funeral, which drained the hell out of me and threw so many wrenches into things...

And since I've been back, its been hard to get everything sorted back together, and pick back up work on things <u>.

I have two projects that I'm assigned to work on that I'm having trouble with, and had a couple smaller things that I managed to get out first- along with one tiny commission from a subscriber here (which may see a public release in the coming days~), and on top of all that I'm trying to get my life all in order >u>.

Still, I'm hopeful. Life threw me one last curveball since the last update, where I was ALSO hopful... but now I'm hoping things will be settled. The original problem that caused all that is resolved, and now I've only got to deal with the aftermath.
The aftermath may be a big issue, of course- eventually. Financially.
But I'm gonna do what I can, and just take it one day at a time!~

In lighter news, I'm trying to focus more on my health again, which has been nice. If difficult, to cut back on overeating >u>. The results will be worth it.
I may see my girlfriend soon! Up in october, we have plans to finally meet face to face! I'm so excited~
I've gotten into Guilty Gear, which has been fun~.
And I've been streaming fairly consistently these past weeks, which has been a blast! Me and my friends have been doing multiplayer games together, and its just been such a treat~. I even started working on a new overlay and whole setup that I think will help things a lot!~
I've gotten into being hypnotized myself more often, which is just... so nice <u>. I haven't felt like I've had the time or energy for a while, but it was absolutely great to get that rest and reset again, and get more fuel for my own writing!~
The hypnotist involved (you know who you are x3) even said it may be fun to release a recording of that session to everyone, and I do agree that would be a cute little thing to show off ^^. I just need the time and energy to look it over and possibly clean up the audio a bit >u>

So, there is a lot to be happy and excited for/about. Just gotta keep going and push through the problems in order to get there~.
Im sure I could go on and on and on, but I think thats a good place to leave it.
There was another shakeup, another roadblock, but I'm picking up the pieces and finding a lot of joy and hope for the future!~

Speaking of the future, I MAY have a full commissioned file lined up as next month's* project? Who knows, we'll have to see >u> 

Moving on...

I do hope folks like what I did with this concept.
I was so anxious over it- about how to balance it being useful to help folks who struggle with entering trance/are new to it, with it being something fun and enjoyable for the folks who have been listening for ages, and don't NEED anything like that. 

In the end, I tried my best to do both- and have it be a focused and dedicated trance, with optional helpful stuff clipped on.
I just hope it isn't redundant <u>.
But on the bright side, it also works nicely as a soft re-master of my original sleep file, which no doubt feels a little dated and needed work. So. Yee...?

I'm hoping folks especially get a kick out of the 'drifting' version, where I leave the listener in trance without ever transitioning into trigger sections. Thats something that my listeners haven't had a real option for- its always been focused on some *goal* in my files. But instead, the induction and trance itself can be the goal!~

That was something I really wanted to do for this, that this can be just purely focused on enjoying trance, and making all future trances a little bit better ^^

Who knows if i manage it <u>. I can only hope that, if I didn't make something you enjoyed, then my next project can be something you like instead ^~^

Hopfully that will come decently soon! Things are still hectic, and I have a lot of work to do, but I'm gonna be trying my best to ATLEAST make sure this next one doesn't surpass my usual one-month soft deadline >u>

Alright, talk to you later ♥ Thank you for supporting me. 

It has been a bit of time, hasn't it!
Things are going okay, rest assured ^^
There haven't really been any developments since the last post! I'm still home, I'm still safe. All good!~

Its still pretty nerve wracking, mind. As a little peek behind the curtain:
Twice, now, I've shown up to a court hearing, only to have our case be delayed for another two weeks >u>

So there has been a lot of nervousness and panic... Only for things to be passed around to be resolved later.
Its an interesting feeling, really. On the one hand, the panic and worry for the immediate future is gone in that moment. The status quo is maintained, and I get relief from the fear about that.
But on the OTHER hand, I'm denied an actual resolution >u>. The sword of Damocles continues to swing, and I won't know that the long term future holds until later. So theres always still been that underlying "whats going to happen" playing in the back of my mind <u>.

But this coming week should be the end of it, it seems. For better or worse, I won't know until the day of. Lets be optimistic and hope for the better, yeah?~

But yep, thats whats going on with that. I was hoping I'd be able to get the file done before then- so that any potential shake-ups wouldn't keep me from atleast releasing another audio. But its looking less and less likely I'll make that deadline <u>

Speaking of...

The bit I'm sure you care about the most, and for good reason ^.^'

Work on the deep trance file is still going on! I've been cracking away at it for a good while!
The script just breached ~5800 words tonight, which is just about the length of the Doll Collection file!
In case you aren't too familiar with the Doll Collection File (its my favorite, y'know~), it was my longest file, at just over 47 minutes.

And this new file still has a good bit more to go! So it will definitely break that record by a decent bit~
That has just meant its been a lot of work, especially when coming off of a bit of an involuntary break <u>

That really doesn't excuse how long this has been taking, though. Even a file of this length shouldn't be taking anywhere near this long.
I'm really off of my game, I guess. Everything definitely knocked me down a few pegs, and all of these circumstances and difficult feelings and worries have me falling behind on pretty much everything in my life...

But... Even still.... I'm trying to push through it!~
This last week or so I've really doubled down, so hopefully if I can keep with it I can get that script finished soon~.
And thats been good. I'm definitely happy that things seem to be doing a good bit better in that respect. I really want to keep making nice things that folks enjoy!

But yep! Thats the status of that.
The files gonna be a bit of a monster at the end of the day~.
The plan, though, is to make several different cuts of it- having optional version that omit certain sections, so that you're able to get just the right content for you~

If you want to skip the preamble sections, there will be a cut of the file that does that. If you don't want any of the stuff tailored toward beginners, that can be skipped. If you just want the induction and the trigger sections, there will be a version of the file for that- all readily made for you so that the length is tailored to your needs~.

And yeah! Thats how things are going ^^
But like I said, this file is going to be a bit of a monster...
So it will still be a bit of time before its done...

If you haven't already, I want to remind that you ARE totally free to cancel a subscription until I have something for you. I don't mind it, I totally understand! It will always be there for you when the next file drops!

For those who do stick around just to support me a bit, even though I haven't been able to get you anything: I do want you to know that I appreciate it. Every bit counts and makes me feel a bit more secure in devoting myself to these projects.
And I want you to know that it is very, very appreciated.

Of course, if your situation changes- if you can't do that kind of thing: of course do whats best for you. I always will understand. And I'll still be here doing what I do, for as long as I can be ^^

Annnd... yeah, thats everything, I think. I hope I'll have more good news for you soon!

-Jackie ♥

Its time once again!~
I'll start off quick with the project poll, because I'm sure thats the bit to be most excited about!~

     For the new supporters here, I'll explain things right quick ^^
Every time I make a new audio or file, I hold a vote to decide what I should do next!
Its an opportunity to have my community and supporters show what they're most excited to see, and a chance for me to gauge interest in different ideas!

Below, you'll find a poll of my current file ideas (almost all suggested by the community! If you'd like to see your idea in this list next time, do comment it below!)

Whenever I add a new idea to the list, I explain a bit about the idea in the poll post so you can get a better idea of it. If you're curious about anything there, you can probably find more info by checking the last couple polls! Or shoot me a message ^^

A similar poll will be held on on the community discord, but Subscribestar votes are weighted to be 3 times as strong as discord votes, to make sure you all get a bit of a bigger say since you're keeping this whole thing going ^^

The only new idea this round: is a 'Play' audio based around the Doll Collection file, and the Mindgames file- as suggested by 'Mona' in the discord!

'Play' files are audios where I make use of triggers to engage in a little scene with the listener, instead of implanting a new trigger. A chance to try out triggers and have some fun!~

Doll Play File
The gimmick is that a doll has taken you, and is going through the process to make you into a doll just like her!~
She uses the Doll Collection triggers on you, musing about what sort of doll to turn you into, before finally completing your transformation!

She then erases your memory of ever being a human in the first place, making you believe you've always been a doll like her, and then tells you to go and find more people to convert, starting the cycle all over again until everyone can enjoy being a lovely obedient doll like yourself >:3c

I'm quite excited to give it a try, but I'd love to see what you'd prefer ^^

Cowgirl File Musings
   This one felt like it took a good bit longer than normal, huh? <u>
Quite sorry for that. Things have been a bit hectic, I guess. Gonna try to be more on top of things, and push through any stuff life is throwing at me >u>

I'm pretty happy with how this one came out. I got to experiment a bit, while also bringing a lot of fun ideas into it!

As a little peak behind the curtain: I actually first developed a hu-cow kink from another erotic hypnotist, Esuccubus! (They're a huge inspiration for me, and I really recommend checking them out if you haven't already!)
But yeee. They made a hu-cow file that almost singlehandedly inspired this kink within me, and made me obsessed >u>.
But that put me in a bit of an awkward spot, because all of the things I loved about hu-cow stuff CAME from that audio, and I didn't want to just COPY it by regurgitating all of those ideas into another file...

It took a lot of thinking to figure out how I wanted to proceed- I eventually ended up asking help from a good friend, Natalie (check her out, too- shes pretty :3), who gave me a lot of inspiration with the Caretaker aspects and certain ways to take the play~.

In the end, I'm quite happy I was able to make 'First Day On The Farm' into my own thing, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it! ♥

If its particularly well-liked, theres always the opportunity to re-visit that little farm. We'll see what the consensus is ^^

Streaming
   The streams are still going well ^^
I've been enjoying it, its been very comfy-cozy. I think some of that initial fear is starting to die down, and so I've decided to try and be a bit more structured with it!
I've decided I'm gonna stream every Monday at 9pm EST, for the foreseeable future ^^

I'm quite happy with Monday. Logically the weekend is the place where most people stream, but that just means you have better stuff to watch on the weekend x3
No, I like Monday, because then it feels like I'm trying to brighten up the start to your week a bit! ^^
Mondays kinda suck, but they don't have to be all bad. I can try and give you something to look forward to, and a friend to chit-chat with to make it feel a bit nicer~

As I'm posting this on a Monday, that means I'll be streaming tonight! Hope to see you there! ^^

What else is up in Jackie's life?
   Things are... alright ^^
I think...
Its certainly better than last month, I suppose- at least recently it has been. Just a bit hectic, I guess. Lot of plates to keep spinning.
I'm playing D&D again! Its fun ^^
The campaign started at level 15, which is way beyond any 5e I've played before now, but I'm enjoying it so far! Running a Battle Smith Artificer~.

House Of Leaves continues to be absolutely lovely. I've been enjoying the web game Fallen London quite a bit lately- the stories this game tells are captivating~. I've finally caught up on The Beef And Dairy Network Podcast, an absurdist comedy podcast I adore. I'm playing fortnite with my girlfriend and her friends pretty often, despite how cringe it makes me feel >u>
And yee! Things feel... alright ^^

I've fallen a bit behind on my Japanese language studies lately, admittedly. Things too hectic, it being a bit too time consuming. I'll get back on it soon, I hope!
My usual routine has been daily Anki flashcards, one duolingo lesson a day, and 30 minutes of my Elementary Japanese textbook ~3-4 times a week. But I've fallen off on the textbook entirely the past week or two <u>

Oh well, I'm sure I'll get back on it! ^^

Thats enough yapping, I think. I hope you have a good week! I'll check back in a weeks time to announce the winner of the New Project Poll, which you can find immediately below!
