<p>Hello dearest Hive Mind,</p><p>As the audio reaches the end of Act 2, the written chapters reach the halfway point of Act 3 and the story as a whole, <em>and</em> we approach the one-year anniversary of the first chapter of <em>Points of Articulation</em>, I wanted to give a few quick community announcements. (The above audio provides the exact same info as the written bits below, so pick your poison.)</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Anniversary Shenanigans</h3><p>As you may know, the Hive Mind tends to... <em>misbehave</em> between acts of POA. As we approach the hiatus between acts 3 and 4 — which should coincide with the one-year anniversary — I've enlisted the most devious creatives I know to prepare something even more ambitious than everything we've done before 👀. I'm so so <em>so</em> excited to share it with you all.</p><p>If you haven't already, I'd highly encourage you to join the <a href="https://discord.gg/RtTBm37Rnz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">discord</a>, check out our <a href="https://pin.it/3BMYgAi6g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">pinterest</a>, and listen to the <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0teO7naWt7s9xIPuoik9xz?si=MTQ91P5AQem5z7TYvZFu2g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">101-song Spotify playlist </a>of songs that have inspired POA. (You should do all these things. Ideally on or after April 2nd. That's all I'll say.)</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Audio Episodes</h3><p>As the audio moves into acts 3 and 4, we're adjusting our release schedule. Both due to Life Craziness (smh, real life getting in the way of Spooky Podcast 🙃) and due to some behind-the-scenes changes to our production process (y'all might have a guess as to why, or... you will soon 🔜 ) episodes will release sporadically for the next two months. Come May and June, we'll be back at it with weekly episodes, and some very exciting changes.</p><p>Thank you for your patience!</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Patreon Tiers</h3><p>We've made a few adjustments to the pricing and content of our <a href="https://patreon.com/pointsofarticulation?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon</a> tiers! We've modified the pricing slightly, but the main adjustment is that I will now be releasing monthly bonus scenes. Think post-credit style snippets — Loo and Ben, Prime and Nara, Henry and Ash, Naomi and Ben, Kaidan and 'Rite — whatever catches my fancy! These are available at the $5 tier, and each will also be available for individual purchase. As a reminder, if you're signing up to a paid tier, make sure to do so in your browser or a non-iOS device, to avoid Apple's unnecessary price hike.</p><br><p>That's all for now! Keep ticking along. 🕰️</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
