How and where to find me post-Medium
Come find me and join the launch of Radical Flannel
I recently announced that I will be leaving the Medium platform. Since publishing that story, there are now growing ways of finding children’s content through avenues that DO benefit the children and their parents/relatives and it seems clear that due to recent events, there are a lot more avenues in development. Not just the Pokémon collection and Johnny Test on Netflix (in the case of Disney+, Turning Red, the Toy Story collection, the Lilo and Stitch trilogy, and A Bug’s Life, and in the case of Paramount+ which is not available in Japan anytime soon, Hey Dude, Rocket Power, and Sabrina The Teenage Witch — you can still watch the Pokémon anime and the CGI remake of the first film on Netflix if you want if the country you reside in allows them, not just Japan alone). There’s also Roblox and Webkinz, which the younger demographic (ahem, children 12 years of age and under) wants to enjoy rather than that Fortnite crap.
Timing
I plan to launch Radical Flannel on Tapas, GlobalComix, and Substack in late October. The series originally went under the prototype names Fighter’s Adventure and Radical Sneakerhead Trio. The series is meant to be for teens and up, due to violence (because the protagonists will be fighting bad guys, as there will be either minimal or no blood), male and female fanservice, and infrequent use of foul language. Don’t worry — there will not be LGBT representation at all due to the fact that I’m heterosexual for the rest of my life. (Never mind that my father is a Seventh-day Adventist churchgoer, but not a pastor)
The main characters are done, but the antagonists, worldbuilding, and supporting characters are in progress.
I also have my own Discord server which was described in the prior post, and I use it for communication and sharing updates about the upcoming series including the launch of the series on Tapas. I now post my own content about the upcoming series including favorites lists on Substack (it’s free!).
Don’t worry, this Substack will not be a paid newsletter, as it will be free to read. I do plan to relaunch Ko-fi as I am planning to leave the US permanently citing the high crime and divorce rates and the difficulty of raising children in the US and Canada while rent in the US and Canada continued to climb due to the arrogant or unruly landlords kicking people out. I believe that the larger artists need to start focusing on the attention to smaller artists so they can grow their following before the September 3, 2023 deadline due to Microsoft ending support for Windows 8.1 which is set to happen on January 10, 2023, Nintendo shutting down the 3DS and the Wii U eShops which is set to happen on March 27, 2023, and the reopening of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus as reasons for the final story, along with concerns from the care management facilities and the developmental disability services who want the individuals to find regular jobs.

If you still have your copy of Everybody’s Golf for your PS4, Clap Hanz announced the end of all online support for this game. The shutdown of its online servers is set to happen on September 30, 2022, but hey, we will always have Puyo Puyo Tetris (and its sequel) on our Switches and Clap Hanz Golf (Apple Arcade only!) on our iPads (Update: It is now Easy Come, Easy Golf on the Switch, make sure you have added funds to your Nintendo account).
