Well.... that sucks.
And not in a good way.
I'm in the process of starting a new job after a period of unemployment so can't hit the subscribestar yet but should be there in a month or so.
I know that's no direct help to you now and you have no guarantee that random internet text will actually result in results but... wanted to offer some support/hope anyway.
Meantime I've joined FA (you weren't kidding about it being Janky X) and I'm following you on there so hopefully if itch goes full nuclear there'll still be connection.
Read the long post on your FA profile.
Please don't feel bad about doing what you need to do under the current circumstances. The economics, as you've laid them out, make sense. They suck but they make sense. Thank you for the honesty, openness and trust. Pre-buying is a risk and I very much get not wanting to offer something for sale that you don't have complete right now. Life is... life and none of us can promise tomorrow with any certainty.
But I for one am grateful for the chance to support you and to take a chance with you that you'll find a way through.
And hopefully, in so doing, to make it a little bit more likely that you and I and all the other furry and non furry hypnokink loving freaks here and elsewhere will get a cool, clever, cute, kinky and hot game to enjoy somewhere down the way.
Take care of yourself and thank you. For everything you've given us and everything you still wish to give.
