[Announcement] Fact of how situation Vilous creators are in.
7 years ago
:Note: I had already posted same substance of this on the description of my current FA submission, but i would like to mention this via journal also for being known more.
Dear Vilous fans, I would like to let you know of an important situation about my best partner, Kiki-UMA.
Kiki has supported every part of my life, including the world-building of Vilous, for a long, long time. When I was having a crisis moment due to deep sorrow in my heart, she was always there to give advice in overcoming it. As for Vilous, almost all of the lore, canon, and story line found in the comic was actually created by her. Her ideas are very imaginative, and I'm deeply appreciative of her for helping with the world-building and management of Vilous. The world of Vilous would be much more dull without Kiki and her creative ideas.
She depends on her creations just as much as I do, and she needs more support due to her chronic situation in life. In spite of her importance to both myself and Vilous, she always has been in my shadow, and sadly many Vilous fans have no idea who she is. I feel there is too much imbalance and unfairness in this situation. The actual fact is, Vilous was created by two authors, myself and Kiki. I hope more Vilous fans will recognize this truth, and support her as much as they support me.
When she considers and creates new canon or detailed lore, she focuses her entire time and energy for it. On a frequent basis, there are many fans seeking more detailed Vilous lore, more info, more canon guidelines. Of course fans needing current and correct information about Vilous is a good thing, but those needs add demands on her, as the main story teller. As this list of tasks to fulfill grows, this can become stressful and is quite hard for her current situation. The support for Kiki is unfairly few in proportion to the art and world-building work she had done before now, currently, and more works she can deliver in the future. Thanks to everyone, my Patreon members have increased, and my life has become slightly stable than my former situation. But Kiki's Patreon members are still excessively few in comparison with mine. If she was able to achieve a more stable income for her life via Patreon support, she could be more aggressive in her activity as a creator, especially with Vilous things. And it will make Vilous world-building occur more smoothly!
Now, her Patreon features her Vilous concepts and artworks. They are composed of things that belong to her personal characters and things including lore that can be treated as strict canon. Also even for her personal character things, it always has the possibility to become canon later in some cases with the convenience of having her as another creator of Vilous! Of course such things will be mentioned if/when they became canon. Vilous fans can use those canon concepts as more detailed references of the world of Vilous. And I hope you will enjoy her inspiration from everything she creates, like I do in amazement!
Thank you always to the fans and people who deeply love Vilous! Through our Patreon Patreon below, we would be most appreciative if you would take a look and consider supporting us!
