IcyPanther’s Mer-May Patreon Pledge Drive Event

It's May which means it's MERMAID TIME! 

Similar to last year, my Patreon is going to have a chance at a Mer!Lance themed Voltron fic based on a pledge drive ♥ AND if we reach that goal the fic will ONLY publish on Patreon. 

Let's dive in, shall we? :D

The Event

In the hopes of having some more engagement and supporters on the page and to help with increasing costs and friends/family I'm trying to help out financially, I'm once more using Mer-May as my plank (diving board) for the Patreon. Should we reach (and maintain! Both this month and going forward!) the goal by the last day of May, May 31 at 8pm CST, we'll get some treasure :D

The goal is: 

106 Patreons (currently at 91*)

AND/OR 

$467/month (currently at $407*)

*These numbers are based on supporter/pledge numbers at the end of April to account for declines and slow processed payments on Patreon's end at the start of this month.

And should the page reach the goal...

The Treasure (Reward)

There be treasure in the form of a mermaid themed Lance fic!

Also unlike last year I'll spell out a few details on it this go around (without going too crazy). Our general plot will be we have Mer!Lance who ends up captured by Pirate Captain Lotor (who is a Dark Elf here, sticking with fantasy based races :)) who aims to sell this very valuable Mer. After, of course, learning more about the Mers' magic and abilities because he's very interested in lore and legend and given that one of those abilities seems to be healing... well, he doesn't mind hurting his Mer a little bit ;) And oh, what's this? What happens when you force a Mer out of water? Hmm.... 

We'll also have two slaves aboard Lotor's ship, humans Shiro and Keith, the former who feels horrible as he inadvertently ended up helping capture Lance (as the bait and then later a trap). They're not sure how exactly they can help as Lotor has taken a far more personal interest in the Mer than anyone had anticipated, but they're doing their best to support Lance and comfort him (even if Keith doesn't really know what he's doing ;p) and they are determined to save Lance, somehow. And who knows, maybe they'll finally be able to save themselves too. 

I won't give away anything else (as I'm trying not to dive too deep into the fathoms below here) but if you enjoy how I write Lance and Lotor's relationship and also love Lance whump, some Keith and Shiro whump too, and a bunch of self-sacrificing idiots all trying to protect one another, and mer and fantasy fics,I think you'll enjoy this ;)

(In case you were wondering, I don't think the other characters will really make an appearance outside of Lance possibly mentioning a few offhand -- his best friend Hunk (Mer), Princess Allura (also Mer) and Pidge (a human he befriended))

Length wise this will definitely need to be a fleshed out AU and that means lots of world building and background for our characters, plus no rushing the developing relationships from every side (This will be gen as usual, even if Lotor likes to play with his food ;p), so... I imagine at least 40k, possibly even up to 80k or so. You can really sink your gills (er, what?) into that :D And again, it will be posted on Patreon only (although, like YBF, it might eventually go to book form for a premium price for outside readers) for Chai Tea and up with staggered updates based on tier level (PHC will be moving to its own slot this go around unlike sharing with Hot Tea for YBF).

I'll be promoting this post on my channels but your help is needed too! Share it, reblog it, Insta-story it, print it and send it via carrier pigeon to your friends or join the Patron (or if you’re already here even consider checking out a higher tier yourself (and yes, you would get all those new tier bonuses to enjoy too on top of helping reach the Mer-May goal ♥)! 

So have fun, make a splash, and let's see where the tides take us!

Sneakpeak of a little klance comic I’m doing for mermay (I’ve had the outline since the beginning of this month lmao I’m such a procrastinator)

I wrote a mermaid one-shot one time. I hate it, but it ended up being pretty popular lol

You have no idea how many times i had to re draw these scenes. My old laptop kept shutting down before I could even save it ;;

Lance talks about the difference between sirens and mermaids! I wonder what we will hear about Sirens.
