SubscribeStar Crisis Update

I have received some response from SubscribeStar about the situation. It would appear that all characters that are, or appear to be underage, will in fact no longer be allowed on this platform, along with particular fringe themes like incest, rape, bestiality, etc. This means I will not be able to reupload any of the content that used to be here, so as of now it will all be exclusive to my off-platform website.

I will not be canceling the main comics I was previously uploading here.

I will continue to upload content free to my website, I simply will not be able to publish it here. There is simply the possibility that I may need to reduce production of that work to add something else into my schedule that can be posted onto this platform in order to maintain an income. What I will be doing in this regard is still undecided as I haven't had a full clarification of the rules until very recently today, so I haven't been able to give it too much serious thought.

I will not be attempting any methods to circumvent SubscribeStar's, or any other platform's rules.

I know a lot of people are suggesting I do things, like just post links here to password protected files on other platforms, but that is not a rules compliant strategy. I will always make an honest attempt to follow the rules as established, which is why despite all of my removals from platforms over the years, I still maintain the option to return to any of them so long as I continue my efforts to follow the rules. Deliberate violations are the quickest way to eat permanent bans, which is not something I am looking to do.

I have looked at many other platforms.

I am open to comments and suggestions for platforms, but do note before making suggestions that I am very well aware of Pixiv FanBox, Patreon, Unifans, Ko-Fi, and DeviantArt Subscriptions. The only two I am considering as of this point are Unifans and surprisingly DeviantArt, because they seem to have the same content policies that SubscribeStar now has, and are also much less intrusive towards cross-linking platforms than a service like Fanbox or Patreon. If I am going to use other platforms alongside SubscribeStar, I would rather be able to post the same content among all platforms than be dealing with different limitations.

Also keep in mind that cryptocurrency is not a viable front-end option in the way that many people seem to think it is, so it is not an alternative option for me. Crypto only works as a bypass with underhanded tactics like creating multiple wallets and posting them in message boards with a link to a password for a file in an obscure private server. That is not the kind of business I want to be delving into.

#I will continue to post updates as decisions are made and other new information is available.
