To our Plume community,

In response to the Missouri Attorney General’s emergency rule severely limiting access to gender-affirming medical care, we will provide gender-affirming hormone therapy at no cost before the rule goes into effect from April 24 to April 27.*

If you’re in Missouri and need immediate care, you can schedule your appointment here.

We are pulling together all available resources to help as many people as possible across the state, but we can’t do it alone. We’re calling on every clinician in the state who can join us in this effort, and applaud Planned Parenthood and other providers for expanding availability for gender-affirming care appointments up until April 27 as well. We’ll be actively promoting on our website any and all providers that are still accepting appointments, in case we can’t responsibly service everyone who needs it in time.

We understand how stressful this is for our Members, employees, and everyone in our community right now. Know that we’ll be doing everything in our power to help you through this.

[Learn more about what we’re doing in Missouri and how you can help.]

Please forward this email to anyone in your community who could be of assistance.

-The Plume Care Team

If you have any questions, please reach out to us at hello@getplume.co.

*Please note, any no-cost medical services we are providing ahead of the proposed Missouri AG’s proposed rule are in effect only from April 24, 2023 through April 26, 2023 at 11:00 PM CT.

y'all heard about the WGA strike? here's how you can support us if you're not a member.

writers with the WGA have access to a strike fund that will help them out, but there are many other hollywood employees, assistants, and crew members who will need financial aid during the strike. you can donate to the entertainment community fund (tax deductible!) and help ease their burden. choose "film and television" in the drop-down menu under the gift designation.

if you can't donate, please at least boost and spread the word! and thank you to everyone who's been showing solidarity and asking how they can help us out, it's been overwhelming in the best sense of the word ♡

My project just went live on kickstarter

…and I’m both excited and terrified, lol

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/aurans/visual-novel-aurans

Aurans is a visual novel about growing up and saving the multiverse while wearing wet shoes.

When homely nobody Rowan Nightingale gets hit by a car, she doesn’t die, but instead is chosen to become an Auran - a being who can make anything happen, on three conditions: she has to be able to imagine it, believe it, and then create it. Taken under her mentor’s wing, she travels to other dimensions and learns to harness the power of her imagination, slowly growing more confident in herself. But dark forces are lurking in the shadows, and who better to manipulate than a young, naïve Auran such as her? Soon, Rowan must fight her inner demons - quite literally - in order to save the dimensions from being destroyed. But can you truly believe that you are stronger than the darkest, most evil force in the entire multiverse, when all your life you have believed you weren’t worth anything at all?

The first seeds of the Aurans universe were thought of in 2006, when I was only 11. Since then, the story, characters, and environments have been fine-tuned over and over again. At first, Aurans was written as a book, but the lack of audiovisual content felt wrong. Many other mediums were brainstormed; A comic? An animated series? A movie? For many different reasons, none of those really seemed to fit. Then it became clear: It had to be a visual novel; the perfect blend of text, image, and sound.

After working with the companies Nix Hydra and Dorian, I felt that I had a grasp on the visual novel medium and the surrounding industry to the point where Aurans would be able to come to life. Teaming up with background artist Ivan Sapnu, the two of us got to work, and now, the first installment is almost complete. All we need is that last push - that’s where you come in.

A super quick overview:

GAME GENRE: Visual Novel / Young Adult / Fantasy / Coming of Age

GRAPHICS:  2D illustrations and sprites on static backgrounds

ART DIRECTION: Stylized and cartoony in vein of W.I.T.C.H., the works of Noelle Stevenson, and  the works of Becky Cloonan

PLATFORM:  PC, possibly Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch in the future

PLAYERS:  Singleplayer

ENGINE:  Ren’Py

MARKET:  Anybody age 12-35 with a love of young adult fantasy stories

Fully hand drawn graphics, deep world and lore

Representation of LGBTQ*, diverse body types and POC, with mentions of neurodiversity, while touching upon the themes of self-worth, identity,and bullying

Can stand alone, but is planned as the first installment of the Auran trilogy

~800 USD (~745 euro) will be used to pay our background artist for the remaining backgrounds.

100 USD (93 euro) will be spent on getting the game onto Steam.

Project funded: 900 USD / 850 euro

STRETCH GOALS:

2500 euro / 2700 USD = Original soundtrack; currently the game will use royalty free music primarily provided by Kevin MacLeod, but how sweet would it be to get a soundtrack specifically made for Aurans?

June 25th 2023: Kickstarter launch

August 24 2023: Kickstarter end

September 1st 2023 - November 30th 2023: Creation and implementation of the remaining backgrounds, music, and sprites. If stretch goal is reached, soundtrack will be commissioned.

December 1st 2023 - January 31st 2024: Proof-reading of prose, GUI updated, and game submitted to Steam.

February 1st 2024: Game launch
