Going to be honest with you all. Yesterday I was sitting at my computer thinking 'is it worth carrying on producing WAM?' Trying to juggle a full time job with this is quite a challenge, and sometimes when i am not feeling great, I am not sure how much my content would even be missed... My mind was saying 'I should let the big boys carry on making their amazing stuff and back out'. I even texted Maria expressing all this
and then, out of nowhere it has to be said, I am awarded WOTD. It really couldn't have come at a better time. Combined with the love and excitement being shown for the trending 'Bride gets trashed' scene, it has really cheered me up and brought all my enthusiasm back.
Thanks to EVERYONE who hearted for me yesterday...your timing was perfect and I feel invigorated again.
I have loads to look forward to and even if I don't have the budget of some of the biggest players..there's room for us little fish too. I have loads to look forward to.
So..to say thank-you all for cheering me up, and reminding me that there is definitely still a place for my work here, I am running a flash sale
25% off Slymsford's Sploshers 30% off Fully Clothed WAM and 35% off Mansion Of Mess
for 24hrs only.
Don't miss out (you know I don't often do sales) ...now is the time to trawl my extensive catalogue and pick up all those scenes you missed or didn't have the cash for first time around.!!!!!
Oh..and here are a few preview pics of scenes coming soon
Congratulations on WotD. Really pleased that it happened at such a time for you. I shouldn't need to tell you that what you produce is admired & enjoyed by many but i fully understand there are times when some acknowledgement is really appreciated. I'm sorry i haven't really given much of that acknowledgement myself recently but things have been bad. Anyway, hope yesterday really has given you that encouraging boost you needed. Best wishes Rev.

Snap! I sometimes look at the unending avalanche of stuff the big producers release, and the almost total lack of thread-responses some of my scenes get (people comment on the individual photos which is lovely but unlike a thread reply doesn't bump the post back up so fairly rapidly it fades to obscurity) and wonder if there's any point continuing past what's already been shot (though just releasing all of that would take several years). And then all of a sudden a few extra sales come out of no-where and it all seems worthwhile again. And I'd miss it, and the fantastic models I've met, if I didn't do it.
I also think of the future. How many people on their deathbeds have said "You know I wish I'd done that thing I always thought about". At least I know I'll be able to say I did it.
You work is cool, and you have a unique style all your own - you've definitely added something to the community here.
Buff: Thanks very much...you have always been really encouraging and supportive and it's greatly appreciated
Dungeon Master 1: Thanks very much for the lovely compliment in the last sentence..and the same of course goes for you. Everything you say is true. When a new scene falls on its arse you feel really low, or when you dfind something you spent ages on being uploaded on a pirate site..but then you get a hit..or even a few forum thread replies thank-ing you for what you do, and you feel better again.
I appreciate the love and thanks for being so groovy yourself
Messyworld: I really appreciate the kind comments. I wouldn't say sales are great lol..but the Bride scene is doing really well. I had that in my back pocket for when i was feeling low..and it hasn't let me down. Who doesn't love a destroyed bride
Thank-you all for your support....not ashamed to admit I am really appreciating the nice feedback. It's helping me regain my enthusiasm.

Thanks Maria. I guess it does..I am still waiting for you to retweet my tweet about your amazing solo scene I put in the UMD store on Monday. I'll look forward to that retweet sometime in 2018
Joking aside..thanks for the Congrats and all the love and support over the years
