<div>My name is Brody. You might know me as Neil, or flatline, or any of the other aliases have used across the internet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I need some help. I'm in debt.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I became a writer in 2017. This is despite the fact that I have consistent recurring tendinosis due to both my job and my hobbies, which makes a good work life balance practically impossible. It's why I dropped out of college - that and the fact that this quickly became my career. Voice-to-text has greatly shrunk this gap (I'm using it now), but it hasn't closed it, and so because of that I work slower than a good deal of other people in my field. Despite this, I wouldn't call my career anything <em>other</em> than successful. I just released a new game that is performing very well, my commission queue is very long, and my Patreon is consistent. Consistent, but not high-earning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As of today I am sitting on about $26,000 of debt, the vast majority of it being in credit cards. Of this debt, a good majority of it comes from taxes and other business expenses, but I could amount of it also unfortunately comes from a time in my life when I had horrible health anxiety and was often visiting the ER multiple times a week. It was the darkest period in my life and I am still paying for it today.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite this debt, I have managed to never miss a payment on any of my cards up to this point, through a combination of constant commission work, game sales, and my Patreon. However, around August of this year, a huge wrench was thrown into the <strong>extremely</strong> tenuous balance that I had managed to create. I work primarily in the NSFW furry field, and this was the point where many payment processors and marketplaces had restricted or cut off entirely their support of certain kinds of NSFW content. There were legitimately awful and illegal games caught up in this, but most companies took it as a blank check to bring the hammer down on anything remotely queer or NSFW in any fashion. Most of my content is still delisted to this day, ruining its ability to be organically discovered and severely limiting my audience. And this was <em>right</em> as my newest game that I had been working on for over a year had come out. Despite this, my community has come out and made that game and undeniable success, but I had been absolutely banking on it to get me out of the hole that I had seen myself digging deeper and deeper and there was just no way that it could happen with the current climate. It has come to the point where my second job is now an online job grading and evaluating AI chatbot responses, a humiliating ritual of training my own eventual replacement that I would never go through if the pay wasn't good.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Originally this fundraiser was going to be for <strong>$25,000</strong>. Almost <em>all</em> of the debt. I think it is more reasonable to ask for <strong>$10,000</strong>. I've been looking into small business loans to help refinance some of this debt and I think that if I can erase a good chunk of it, then I can refinance the rest and be able to deal with it myself. But right now, my credit score is far too low to secure one.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This money will all go directly into my savings account which will then be redirected towards my credit cards.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you don't feel like just giving me something, here's my store. (NSFW warning)
