They Killed My Baby…
My Patreon is dead.
To make a long story short, they took some of the titles of a few of my books literally and assumed they contained incest and underage sexual content. Without consulting me, they deleted my account and refunded my Patreon subscribers. They then emailed me, informing me of their actions and stating that their actions could not be reversed.
All that content.
Years of posts and interactions.
Gone.
Not gonna lie, I came so close to relapsing with alcohol that week. Every day was a struggle, and I fell into such a deep depression that my appetite and sleep were severely affected. I would just lay in bed (usually my Baby Squirrel’s bed) and stare at the ceiling, wondering how I would make up that missing chunk of cash. In this day and age, every cent counts, and with everything as expensive as it is… I had come to rely on that little income.
If I’m honest, however, it was about more than just the money. Patreon gave me (and my subscribers) a place to congregate on the internet, safe from the insanity of typical social media, and I loved conversing with them at all hours of the night – and for so many different reasons.
And now it’s gone.
Or is it?
A while back – during my last Patreon scare, actually – I created a Subscribestar Adult account and started populating it with everything I posted on Patreon. Though only a few people signed up for it, I loved how open and free the site was. They seemed to give zero fucks about what I posted, and it was, you know, refreshing for a change.
So. I moved my online creative home to Subscribestar Adult and ditched Patreon entirely.
Because fuck Patreon.
Honestly, I should have made this move a long time ago. I’ll have fewer restrictions and won’t have to worry about my account getting suddenly nuked without anyone consulting me first. So, if you haven’t already, join me. It’s going to be a lot of fun… 😈

I’m truly sadden and disappointed that they’ve gotten rid of your Patreon with years of your hard work all gone without any warning or any notice, Alexa while losing my only remaining Patreon ally.
It totally sucks and at the same time that I’m proud that you’ve gotten another backup to which I might join you over there too.
Patreon was more afraid of you then you are with them and perhaps a good thing for you finally getting away with more content than ever before! 😜😈❤️
