I know a lot of authors are currently making their own devlogs for this , but I'm going to make my own too because this is important. I don't know if Inarora's Excursion will be taken down. Right now, she's still de-indexed but, my other story, Memories of Enaros, is still searchable. However, everything about what's going on leads me to uncertainty. Itch's New Policy is so ambiguous that I don't know entirely what it means for Inarora and her story. "Animal-related" feels vaguely targeted to furries. And does it include half-cat people? Is there going to be a problem with certain topics like menstruation?

I don't know. I genuinely do not know. If someone on Itch's team could explain it to me, I'd appreciate it. However, I know it's unlikely given they are overly swamped.

So here's the deal. For now, I intend to remain here as long as I possibly can. However, please do me a favor if you've pre-ordered. Please email me at astrid.e.abell@proton.me (and if you can't send to me for some reason let me know and I'll give you my backup email. Proton is a little finicky sometimes). I'm gonna make an excel sheet when I have spoons and I will put you down on my list. If I lose my Itch, I'll email the epub files to you.

Additionally, right now you can follow and support me on PayHip, where I will also be putting my stories. I dunno what to do for Inarora's Excursion yet since there's no pre-order function, but hopefully PayHip will continue eating Itch's lunch and add more things for creators.

Either way, this is the beginning. If Inarora's Excursion is taken down, then that just shows Itch doesn't care about queer creators. And if a YA SFW book is taken down? Welp. No one's safe.
