I’m always deeply saddened and disappointed whenever I see my work being leaked and shared for free.

I’ve always tried to be generous and approachable. I regularly provide free stories, accept requests from readers, and have adapted my website multiple times so that people from all over the world can access my content , both free and premium. If someone politely asks me for a specific page or chapter, I’m usually happy to share older works if there’s any technical issue.

I genuinely don’t think I’m one of those creators who ignores their community.

That’s why it hurts so much when my work is still leaked without my consent. Every time it happens, it feels like a betrayal. Constantly having to fight leakers is exhausting, and there are moments I seriously wonder if it’s even worth continuing to create anymore...

If you’re having trouble accessing my Patreon or my website, please just message me. I’ll do my best to fix the issue so you can read my work legitimately, try other alternative then Patreon, etc.

But please… respect the time, love, and effort I put into my stories. Do not share them without my permission. It really breaks my heart
:'(
 
I got a Question i am curious, no mean malice sorry for my shitty English at the start anyway is that hurtful for 35 people to see your work for free? to put a smile on somebodies face, your not the first creator that wrote something like this, i even had one private message me i see it a lot even for bigger creators, the it hurts them a loot i get feelings wise i am human, i talk hard facts for a moment maybe i got something wrong bad in math too you got 286 members paying ones cheapest paying tier $9 \times 286$ is exactly $2,574. i get there fees still apple google pay patron takes a cut i don't know if you do it full time or not nor is it my knowledge to know all i can say people would kill if they make that on the side or even full time. a lot of people struggle especially right now money is tight for everyone sadly, most people cant simple afford it. I just want to make somebody's day i don't leak it to thousands of downloads here i do it for a single thumps up. I get the you made it but feels always like big corpo when you hear i need to fight the leaks without my consent its exhausting that's live of an artist its not nice, life sadly isn't always nice, its not running you money wise? its just a tiny dent probably hurts moral or ego even more there is no fact that any of this people here would ever in there live pay. like every artist you can just make the best product and be happy with however many people support or chase the what ifs. Ps: thanks you for your past work would be really be a great nice gesture move if your past work would slowly go free like one thing ever month or two a few creators do that always nice to see, you got work reaching back to 2022 that's still paywalled, not a demand just a nice gesture don't want to hurt anyone's feelings have a nice day.
 
Thank you for replying.

Just to clarify, your calculation isn’t accurate.
Patreon and payment processors take around 30% in fees to begin with.
On top of that, refunds are still counted as ā€œpaid membersā€ on the dashboard, even though they bring in €0...
And since I live in France, as a self-employed creator I lose roughly 60% in taxes, on what remains after Patreon’s cut.

In the end, know that I earn barely enough to pay my rent... and I am renting a cheap place...

So you see, it might seem small to you, but as I am not a huge creator (not in sell actually), what I earn means a lot to me.

If you respect the effort I put in, please stop leaking my content
 
Hey thanks for your reply sorry that you struggle too again i am human, But on the other hand, it’s really not my problem. I don't know you, you don't know me, you're just a random person on the internet to me, most artists will never make enough to even barley pay rent once, life sucks like that, there countries without even a saftey net, even if it breaks down so far that you need to get a normal job i cant give you more than a, damn that sucks huh.

I watched your Work on Deviant art almost since the start i guess bevore you even had a Patreon most never come this far, your not the only one wo barley makes rent only diffrence is you chose to do your passion and whine at me in a thread with 3 people in it, in the hard words of the world get a real job one you dont even like. that was harsh but you get it probably as i sayed were all struggling to put food on the table let alone splurge on entertament.

Thank you for breaking it down damn they take a large cut huh brutal taxes, you know how it is there many that make big big money and still wine around its hard to gage where they are money whise or just whine.

Tldr i am not the goverment i dont make the tax rules or how much a pament processor squezzes you in the end you need to live with that or do something else for a living.
All i can give is a honest hey i am sorry and i am not gonna leak any of your stuff anymore if that makes you feel that much better in live or just accept that a few people not even thousands saw your stuff without paying who knows if they would have ever payed anyway.

I guess i dont really know what to do now so i make it Your choice even, i can wait weeks a month more only stuff thats a year and older or just never leak your stuff again here not that i can stop anybody else from doing it but if that makes you that much happy i am not that much of mean person i think at least, so give me what you want i am curious what would you find fair or moral.

Have a nice day none the less.
 
Thank you for your honest reply, I appreciate you taking the time to write back.

I understand what you mean, we are both strangers on the internet.
Thank you as well for understanding what it means to me, my work, and everything.

I will look for a way to have the content unlock after a few time, so that people that can't pay, can still enjoy my work, but later than those supporting me.
 
That's incredibly nice of you, thank you.

Anybody wanting to see your work does so hopefully via Patreon for support, and anyone that sadly really cannot afford it at all knows they can at least see it one day in the future.
It doesn't need to be soon so there is a perk for paying, but it removes a situation where they couldn't even see years-old content.

I am not going to leak anything else since it's not needed anymore.

I wish you all the success.

Wow! Did that really happened. Cause if did, that's kind of a dick move.

As for the topic of the posting the works here. I think some artists are getting a little too paranoid about leaks. I didn’t even know this thread existed until I checked one user’s profile, so it’s probably more obscure than they think. Telling everyone to stop posting here feels ignorant, like they assume the entire TSF community is coming here to read, which just isn’t true. If someone can support the creator, they will. It’s that simple. There’s nothing complicated about it.

Leaked stories don't really hurt Patreon as much as some creators think. Paid members will keep increasing if the creator stays consistent with updates and keeps a reliable schedule. The opposite of it only happens if the creator is taking a long break and inconsistent posting time. Would've understood if they told to post later then right after the their work was uploaded. But just telling all to stop is YTsnow situation happening all over again lol.
 
I don't get all the winning he asked nice even Sayed he will release more for free later which is really nice, nobody is stopping any of you guys he didn't magically remove the attach files button you know you can just pay for his patron yourself and have access to everything right what you do with it after is your choice, he cant stop you i cant stop you nobody can stop you. You can leak or don't not that hard of a concept. Nobody Sayed anything about blocking anything on his website?.

They're just mad about it, I would rather have a creator be upfront and transparent than blocking their contents.

Aribeth did not block anything, She even said she would make some Patreon Exclusives free in time.

She also have free Captions on her website as well.

To be honest, Those whining guys are the problem,
they're already getting free merch, no ones stopping anything but they still have a problem when the creator wants to have their creations not pirated AS MUCH.
 
Yeah man, just don't know what they all are 'whinning' for. We should all just pay the creator, we are all getting things for free, you all should be grateful for this. Who knows why they all are picking on the creator.

Try downloading something from her site there is no option to save images anymore... how is that not blocking anything?
