SAD NEWS

Hey folks, I have really sad news. I mentioned some post ago that there were some issues in the webtoon world. Well, one is resolved but now another one is following T.T

There are right now some rights issues in the foxtoon platform going on. Therefore a lot of changes are taking place, like (some may have noticed) some webtoons are now only available by buying the chapters.

And here comes the problem, for QsS this was also decided and I do not own a credit/debit card to buy them. Also I find it a bit pointless for me to translate the chapters when the most of you guys can read them along side the pictures. I was researching  a whole week how I may solve this but sadly I didn’t find a satisfying solution.

So the my conclusion is that I will be from this moment On-Hold. I will try my best to stay updated on the matter with foxtoon and also news of QsS.

[valdsforest]

some Announcements

Hey folks, firstly my new schedule for this university term is finally out and therefore I can now plan some free time to translate and release the chapters/episodes of QsS. The new release day from now on will be every Wednesday or either Thursday until the 1st August.

Secondly, for those who not know, there were some issues about some webtoons resp. artists and therefore some of them were on hold for undetermined time period. So finally, those issues were resolved and QsS will change from foxtoon platform at the 18th September. (still unknown to which one, but I will try my best to keep informed about it)

Furthermore, I started a twitter account to simplify the following of the news, releases, etc.

Sorry for my Absence

Hey internet folks, I’m so sorry that I was for the last 2 months absent. I was super busy with my university life and super stressed out bc of my semester exams. Fortunately I passed them all (that was quite the fight ^.^”).

Some couple of days ago, one of you guys ask me how to access the webtoon chapters. Since my short absence I wasn’t aware that foxtoon took some small website changes. So I took a look at it. If some of you are not aware of it, there was a scandal in the webtoon world, mostly in regard to Lezhin but not only.  Therefore a lot of webtoons are now on hold until the webtoon-association for protecting the webtoonist/artists resolved resp. negotiate with the providers/publishers. I guess that is one of reasons why foxtoon took minor changes.

To make it short. All the “Queen’s Season” chapters are still free. To get access nowadays, one need  to make an account, one can use the Naver or any other email to register. if someone need a guidance just ask me, I gladly help.

New Patreon Policy

Hey all! As some of you may be aware, Patreon is doing something very dumb and harmful. In the past, if you pledged $1, you PAID $1. I, as a creator, then paid the transaction fees, resulting in me getting about .80 cents from your pledge. Which was fine, I was plenty happy with it!

THE NEW SYSTEM It will be implemented starting December 18th

As a patron now YOU pay the fees. which are calculated as 2.9% + 0.35 PER PLEDGE This means as a $1 patron you will actually pay $1.38.  If you pledge to multiple creators you will have to pay MORE FEES as the fee is applied per pledge. Myself and many other creators are very upset with this policy, as it will discourage people from pledging small amounts to many creators. On twitter people have posted images of patrons leaving in droves, and I expect that to happen to me as well. (I do not blame the patrons of course, they are getting screwed, this new system is terrible!) As it is, I highly suggest you consider this new change before pledging! and please help me and others in trying to get this INCREDIBLY HARMFUL new policy canceled before it’s implemented on December 18th! HERE IS A LINK TO THE HELP DESK WHERE YOU CAN SEND A MESSAGE TO PATREON If you don’t want to/are nervous to write something up yourself, please feel free to copy and paste this message into it! Subject: Do not change payment policy “Hello, I am very unhappy with this new change in policy. This new payment policy will make it difficult for me to support the many creators that I love. Most creators have stated that they also oppose the new change and would happily eat the fees to help out patrons. A few extra cents a month might not sound like a lot to you, but for some it really makes a difference. Please do not implement this change so that I can support the many great creators on this website!” Please help me try to oppose this ridiculous change!!! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE GREAT CONTENT FOR ALL OF YOU, AND I DON’T WANT YOU GUYS TO GET SCREWED FOR JUST TRYING TO SUPPORT ME!<3<3<3
