**Other Story Update & HH Schedule**

A few bits of news today.

First, I'm shutting down my Patreon toward the end of the month. Subscriber numbers have always been dismal, and it's time to move on to another phase. After six novels, three novellas, and a short story over the last year and a half, I'm exhausted. Those Snooping Brats isn't over; it's just done in the current format. As I've mentioned before, I'm eventually going to move them to an e-novel format or short story collections. It might find a better reception from a general audience than on here or Literotica. But I'm going to take several months to get some distance from the world before revising most of the novels and overhauling one or two of the stories. Additionally, I want to fix some of the overall universe as I want to tackle a few of the other groups in novellas that lead up to the YSC novels. I still have many adventures planned for Jake and Phinn, Dusty, and other groups. We're only finishing the summer before Jake and Phinn's senior year, and I want to go at least until they start college.

Second, I'll keep the Those Snooping Brats page on CHYOA up until probably December 1st or slightly later. That should give anyone a chance to read the stories that haven't had time yet. I'm going to start posting one final story on there today. This is a novella about The Key Club, a second mystery-solving group. This story might interest Honey Hollow fans, since it replaces Sean Tarver's HH group in the Young Sleuths Challenge. I do plan to write two YSC novels in the future. The Key Club will be one of the teams competing in the first one. Since Sean's group was clearly inexperienced, KC will have several novellas showing the group's slow formation over the school year. The Costume Party Caper should entertain HH readers, since you can see if you recognize which characters are from the HH setting.

Finally, today is the first day since February 2025 where I don't have two weekly deadlines hanging over my head. I still haven't managed to take a break, despite saying I would a couple of weeks ago. So, starting today, I'm going to catch my breath. Because of that need, Honey Hollow will resume posting on October 1st. Be ready for the mystery element of the story to begin soon.

Thanks!
