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.
