Monthly Update: April
Good morning lovelies!
This last month has been incredible. We've almost doubled out Patreon community (cue happy squeals) and the channel is almost at 850 subscribers! I genuinely think we can break 1000 by the end of April, which will put me closer to monetization and also open up the community tab on the channel.
In related news, I've started querying literary agents for my sci-fi novel, tentatively titled Citadel. No luck yet, but some of these guys take a few months to respond. Fingers crossed!
Coming up, my mother finally managed to make time to help me with my video, so expect How to Write a Romantic Subplot, as Taught by an Aromantic Asexual to be the first video in April. I've had a ton of fun making it.
In the What's the Difference? playlist, I'll be talking about Science Fiction vs Afrofuturism. If you haven't gotten into that genre, give it a try. It's spectacular. I also thought I'd do a video on Every "Punk" Genre of Sci-Fi, because there seem to be more every day.
For Tropes, I thought I'd tackle the Best and Worst of Fanfiction. Because why not? (I may be in a bit of a reading and television slump. I keep meaning to get into WandaVision and Falcon & Winter Soldier, and it's just not happening. We're over three months into 2021 and I just finished my third book of the year. It's driving me nuts.)
To my lovely authors and worldbuilders, I'll show you How to Worldbuild Class Systems, very useful for drama, conflict, and/or thinly-veiled political commentary. So you know I love seeing them in SFF.
Due to popular request from my White Savior Trope video, I'm currently researching Black Pain in Sci-Fi and Fantasy. It's not something I previously noticed, but it's a thing.
And finally, since I did a video on 10 Examples of Healthy Masculinity in SFF, why not do 10 Examples of Toxic Masculinity in SFF? (Besides the obvious mountain of hateful comments these types of videos tend to generate. Ah, well.)
That's it for April! These videos are subject to change, depending on time and any sudden flashes of inspiration I may have. But this is the penciled-in plan.
Have a happy Easter, everyone!
