An Update on Twelvelms, and more!

Hello everyone! This is just a quick check in to keep you all up to speed with what’s happening with The @Twelvelms Conspiracy, a show I was crowdfunding for earlier in the year, and a few other things you might be wondering about!

The money raised during the crowd-funder has been about enough for me to continue to look for ways to produce and complete the project, but it’s been a lot more difficult than I was hoping. Audio drama as an industry is extremely in flux. The landscape of the space is changing very rapidly at the moment. Whilst I think there’s a lot of enthusiasm for a project like Twelvelms, it needs a lot of time and resources to work, and right now, it’s proving extremely difficult to get that to happen.

I’ve already poured hundreds of hours and a lot of love into this project and I’m not willing to walk away from it, especially considering so many people helped out by donating to this project and making sure I could afford basic necessities.

For now, the project is having to take a back seat whilst I focus on Not Quite Dead, which is already airing and can help me pay my bills, and also look for other work. With the rising cost of living in the UK and the slow-moving nature of the audio drama space, I’m no longer able to be a full-time creator. I’ve been trying to find a day job since right after I got top surgery in September, but it’s not been very encouraging so far.

Until I can find a more consistent source of income where I know I’m always going to be able to pay rent and buy food, looking for one is going to have to be my priority, after which I’ll be able to begin to focus on fulfilling all the pledges on this campaign.

I have some important meetings scheduled for early in the new year which seem pretty encouraging! I'll keep you posted and let you know about any developments as soon as I'm able to!

All the best, Eira
