I am truly sorry to see you go as youhave been like a breath of fresh air, bringing something different to the scene. I hope you can get back to enjoying messy fun again as a couple for your own pleasure.
Patsy Pastry said: When I discussed with my partner about going public, there were two conditions.
1) It had to be fun and not a chore 2) There had to be continued interest from the UMD community.
I've felt over the last few weeks that I've reached my limit on both and interest in my work is declining.
So, it's time to say goodbye all. It's been a blast whilst it lasted. I'll still be here, but back lurking.
All the best for the future, I've met some lovely people.

Good luck in whatever comes next for you! This community can sometimes be quite nurturing, sometimes a bit vicious, and sometimes perhaps worst of all a bit apathetic. It's unfortunate, but when we're working with niches within niches, I suppose it's tough. Especially when participating with your own content requires you to really put yourself out there.
So, again, warmly wishing you nothing but luck, respect, and peace!
While you don't owe anyone an explanation, it's nice to get one as sometimes it can seem a bit sad when regular contributors disappear without a word.
We are spoilt these days with WAM content - you can see here that there are numerous new scenes appearing every day and so the returns for content creators and producers can be quite soul destroying.
However you have hit the nail on the head. If it has become a chore then it's probably time to stop. And the great thing about being on here is that there is nothing stopping you from coming back if you change your mind.

Going to co-sign on this wishing you the best and that you prosper and are filed with joy and mess
Hi Patsy, Just to echo what LeRex and EnglishGent said:
Sorry to see you go and will miss your content. Totally respect your decision though.
Thank you for sharing with us. I really liked your content and felt that maybe the lack of engagement was for other reasons, e.g. how the films were shot / presented? (it'd be useful for someone to poll the community to find out). It's actually quite difficult for the 'little guy' atm though and that's something the community may wish to look at. How are we going to grow small indie content?
Times are hard atm. Cost of living crisis and undiagnosed trauma from the COVID years. Operating now is difficult and people's response to content are not as they usually are. You do have fans here who appreciate your work.
Wam burnout is real! Take some time for yourself and maybe re-evaluate later!
Agreed, it has been tremendously hard to sell on here and this has been a recurring topic of conversation amongst several producers I chat with. Both of your conditions are actually mine as well, you can only put in what you get out or it wears on you!
