I promise I'm not complaining about having a thing work successfully, but this really isn't what I was expecting

I've never sold 100+ of anything ever, and the one time I set up a soft limiter on something by introducing a price barrier, it sells 115 things when I projected 50.

What the shit.

A mood piece of my character Sylvia. This is part of a modern AU I've been thinking about where she works as a nurse for the NHS and just isn't having fun in general.
Life is hard.
And sometimes calming down in the shower and steam is the only thing that keeps her going

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage?

This is a GIFT.

"You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here.

People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers.

In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

PayPal user in the UK lost their account after buying adult ebooks “about monsters and milking,” “some dubcon stuff”

“My account got banned a couple of days ago for making purchases which violate the ToS. Upon querying w/ staff over the phone I've been told that it was ebooks that I've been buying”
