May newsletter

Newsletter coming out a little later in the afternoon today because when I wrote it, I wanted to be able to say...
 🔮  08 Firebird (Act I finale) completed
WHEW. This was a huge chapter, not necessarily in terms of # of pages, but in narrative content, visual stuff (it covers a ton of complex locations including Central Park and The Spot... and I drew an African Wild Dog. Have fun imagining how that works in), emotional characterization... Anyway. I did it. It's ready. And with that, I'm pleased to announce that it will publish on the 1 year anniversary of Familiar, September 21, 2020. I will update the chapter list to reflect this soon!
🔮 May poll
This month I'll be thumbnailing a new Act II filler chapter tentatively titled POTION. It'll be witch-themed since it will probably drop on Halloween. This month's poll will probably have to do with this chapter, but I also have room for a segue page in Firebird. So maybe we'll do two polls this month, or maybe we'll do that third Firebird poll or maybe we'll do Diana's sexy witch Halloween costume. HMMM
🔮 New Patreon goal added
You may have noticed that I added a new goal to the Patreon goal list thingy. I've always liked livestreaming and answering Familiar questions from people, so I thought why not combine those together. Once we hit that $750 milestone I'll figure out the best way to do a livestream Familiar AMA, where I can draw responses to questions from Patrons. I'll be sure to set up a way for people to send questions even if they can't make the live event. Should be fun. 
🔮 Covid-19 update
April was a bit rocky here in Soushiyo land but things have somewhat stabilized. To that end I'm resuming Patreon charges for May so I can continue to work work work on Familiar and stay on schedule. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone, and a special shout-out to those Patrons who joined in April and who sent me $$$ via other channels. It means the world to me.
🔮 Fun fanart from the NSFW art community
A couple really fun pieces have come through lately so I thought for funsies I'd end here with a roundup of some fanart. Please give these talented artists some love!

As always thanks for everything, and I'll keep you updated as stuff happens. Looks like it could at least be a good summer for your favorite bdsm romcom.
