Warhammer Fantasy: A Dynasty of Dynamic Alcoholism

Reader mode
100% in favor of you opening up a Patreon, since your writing is more than good enough for it, so I'll definitely try to support it when you open it, as a thanks for entertaining me and so many others with your writing for as long as you have.
 
Please Dear God open that Patreon so that I and most of the readers here can support you.

Finally I can show my appreciation to the endless hours of epic entertainment you provide besides commenting. I have been thinking you needed a Patreon for years now. Please Lord Almighty let this patreon be set up soon so I can subscribe, you have no freaking idea how happy this will make me.
 
Bro, set up a donation account somewhere. I'd gladly send some money for the book series worth of content you've given us for free over the years.

Caveat, but I'd under promise if you do tiers and a subscription model. From my experience subscribing to other creators, people can get really aggressive about getting their money's worth and feel more entitled about things if your story goes in a direction they don't like.

At the moment, it's just figured to be a (general support) subscription. Kicking a few bucks a month. Not planning on making major promises or the like, I don't think. At most, if/when I manage to start producing non-quest content again it would be early access stuff akin to getting to see something early, is all. Just going by the numbers, it seems like it would make some financial sense to try and expand into such things onto SB, possibly Royal Road. If the non-quest stuff I manage to make is good enough, the hope is to hopefully draw in a few others who might not be as into the quest proper. The quest will grind on, just the aforementioned issues with brain screwy figuring for roll results vs. The comparable ease of just straight plotting and writing means it might well be a bit easier to write the latter than the former in a certain way. Now that I'm actually trying to think about it money -wise, is all.

If this was a non-QM author starting a Patreon, I would congratulate them, but then I would have stopped paying attention, because the exchange rate is not favorable for sending money from Korea.

However, if it were QM, I would act differently. He's been faithfully posting quests for a long time, answering questions, and acting with the utmost integrity despite being in constant pain, and it's a very good thing for me to support him.

QM, always remember that we are here to support and cheer you on, and if you are having a hard time, ask for solutions and support here, just like you would a friend, and we will all try to help you.

And as always, I've written this through a translator, so please ignore the weird words or consider it a support for QM
 
Hey Tor wishing you the best , as someone who went through very similar issues and lost their own parent to sickness I can say what your post is describing sounds a lot like caretaker burnout . It's a very common thing and something you should look into if you weren't aware . I understand now is a really hard time for you and even taking the steps might feel too exhausting to even consider but maybe you should look into booking a therapist appointment to help with some of the stress or atleast give you another outlet . Though if that is out of your budget there should be some online sources available , some in thread might be more knowledgeable on those than I in that end though.


I am very glad to hear your considering opening up a patreon . This quest as well as your other writings have shown you have the ability to attract audiences with your skill and story telling , I'm sure whatever you write will be able to garner a fan base quickly . If you're worried about whether or not it will make a difference I can assure you it will . I've seen plenty of stories on this site and others that are half the quality of your own that manage to attract patreon supporters ( I'm talking bad Naruto fics, wish fulfillment garbage , etc ) . Even if it's a small trickle at the start or an extra few hundred a month of sure the income will be helpful to some degree or at the very least help ease some of the anxiety .

To move on further into that topic , what type of stories have you considered writing ? Fantasy , litrpg , progression fantasy ? I'm sure the readers would love to hear your ideas
 
Hey Torroar. I've been reading along here on SV for about 5 years, and I have to admit that this is my favorite quest - probably even piece of literature. I've read it a couple of times (it's almost 3 million words, forgive me for not having read it more ;) ) and each and every time, without fault, I've cried, I've laughed, I've found myself nearly in disbelief of your writing skills and how I sympathize with Frederick and his family, and their trials and tribulations. For a long time I have wanted to write my appreciation, but it has always felt like an incorrect time to do so - though, now I have decided that late is better than never. So I just want to express how I value your writing and your management of the quest - it has brought me great joy in rough and tough, and joyous, times.

I'm so very sorry to hear about your family. My partner, whom I've told about your quest ad nauseam despite not being a Warhammer fan, and I wish you and yours the best!
 
You have provided me with more than enough enjoyable content for free to make me happy to support a patreon if you make one.

This is one of my favourite quests and I am definitely here to stay, for as long as you're writing it

torroar I am glad to hear that you will be open to a patreon or something similar. I won't say much else but please know that you are appreciated and finally I'll have a chance to support you even if just a little bit.
 
I believe a patreon would be a great idea, since it could ease some of the pressure in your life. In your current situation, even the tiniest ease in strain can make a world of difference.
 
Damn, dude. You and the parent have had it rough. I'm impressed you've been pumping this level of quality work while dealing with that day in and day out.

So I took to the streets. To the sidewalks. Pacing, pacing, walking, hours and hours, because to be in the house suddenly felt awful. Acidic, even. Like I was drowning. I came back to make food for the parent, for the exchanges, but aside from that literally just sitting in my room I felt like my heart was going to tear its way out of my chest, my lungs were collapsing, and I just had to get out, and get moving, and stay that way. Blisters bloomed on my feet, and I broke them as I kept going, until they reformed, again and again until I've gained some brand new calluses. My hands have rough red scaly patches on them now which I'm reasonably sure are exposure issues from the cold - it's been 30ish out here for a while now, colder and worse with the wind in the early morning and evenings. Just trying to process, or no, not process. To drown it out, all the fear and the childish internal wail of not wanting a parent to leave, to confused and distressed animal of routine who felt the danger of disruption looming more than ever before. The absolute rage that I can't stop a disease or disability. That the doctors, so many doctors, can't either. Stopped eating almost entirely, still haven't really recovered an appetite.

I don't know how to help you with most of this, I process emotions differently than most people, but soap with Shea Butter is what helped me with those red cracked hands from the temperature.

If I find a way I'll also support your Patreon, and whatever else you choose to use, though considering how my life's going right now it may be awhile before I am able to find a way.

Your work has helped me get to grips with who I am and what I want in a really dark period of my life so I want to help.
 
I've been following this story since the very beginning, and would gladly support the patreon for all the content you've provided.

Ngl, I've lurked here hard over the years, legitimately might not have voted a single time. However, it's always been a highlight of my day so see a monster of a chapter get thrown up on to this site.

As such, I've been thinking about opening up a Patreon. Not entirely sure how it would work, other than as just general support for a writer ya'll like. Might look into doing commissions, as well as other fiction writing. Some of it purely original, some of it perhaps not, but stuff that I could reasonably point to and say, hey, look, early access to a chapter here and there. Because part of the issue between quest writing and non-quest writing is the fact that for the former I can't just plot out something and write thanks to the dice. Haven't actually set it up yet, I'm just letting you all know that I'm going to be.

Dude I clapped. I'm really glad you're doing this. I will give what I can. I like you a lot and want to support, and on a practical entertainment level I get more enjoyment from your writing than I do my netflix subscription.

For the time being I wouldn't attach it to any rewards, or tiers, just a 'give what you like' until you feel you firmly have it in stride, then maybe commissions after a time. Maybe commission omakes?

My only fear is that you'll feel people freely giving out of gratitude, appreciation, or a desire to support creates an obligation that causes you anxiety when you feel you aren't living up to it. Please don't feel that way.

Exactly this. I've been reading your work for years at this point.
You've never disappointed and no matter how intense and frustrating things get, you always stick the landing.

You're an excellent story teller and these last few pain filled chapters seem to channel your family's pain into text.
It also shows your grim determination to keep going no matter how bad it's gotten.
You need help? We're all here for you torroar.
 
I've been reading this and lurking around for literal years, I would love the opportunity to help for everything you've given. Please do not hesitate, please do not doubt, please feel no obligation for funds freely given.
 
I never,ever thought of supporting someone on patreon,i find the idea repulsive,but for you Torroar,i will make a exception.This quest is simply to good for me to do otherwise.
