Hello New Patrons!
YouTube Copyright Weirdness
L;R
In the immortal words of Arin Hansen, "Bienvenue, power bottoms!"
How y'all doin'? Seems like there's maybe a few (hundred) new faces around here. Welcome aboard the good ship SWE! We hope you enjoy your stay, but watch out for the Carrie; she gets a bit handsy.
As you may have noticed, SAOA episode 14 is now live on YouTube! Thank you to all of our Patrons, both old and new, for being patient with us. Splitting our attention between SAOA and getting MHAA set up slowed us down a bit, but now that that's up and running, we should be able to speed up productions of both our shows! The script for MHAA 2 is ready to go, and we can't wait to start writing SAOA 15 tomorrow. We're finally getting into the meat of that arc! We're also working on the SAOA 14 Bloopies, so all you $10+ Patrons can expect those sometime soon.
Also, you guys may have noticed that episode 14 came back to YouTube a lot faster than normal. In the interest of being totally transparent, we wanted to explain what's been going on there. It might get a bit dense, so if you're not interested in YouTube bullcrap, you can just skip this next section. So basically, what's happened with every other episode we've ever made is this:
1. We post the episode on YouTube.
2: Episode gets automatically flagged for copyright and either blocked in every country or straight-up taken down.
3: We file our counter-claim.
4: The company instantly rejects our claim and takes down the episode entirely.
5: We file another counter-claim to get it put back up.
6: The company has about a month to respond, but since they would have to sue us to continue the process, they never have.
7: Once their time limit expires, the episode goes back up on YouTube.
To try to account for all this, we always upload our episodes as "Unlisted" until the process is resolved. That way, once it goes back up, we can make the episode "Public", which will make it look like it was uploaded that day, and therefore appear at the top of your subscriptions.
However, this time was a bit different. When we uploaded episode 14, we were still blocked, but only in Japan. We filed our usual counter-claim to get it unblocked, but unlike usual, the company that claimed it didn't automatically reject us and take it down. This meant that we could make the episode public immediately, but we were concerned that the takedown was just delayed, and that if we made it public before the takedown, the episode would end up getting buried. We decided to wait and see if they'd take it down, but after about a week, we felt confident that it wasn't going to happen. So yeah, we premiere it on Friday, and so far everything's been good! But, you know, that Sword of Damocles is still just... hanging out. It's like, come on. Shit or get off the pot! Inconsiderate-ass sword.
ALRIGHT! BORING STUFF'S DONE! IT'S SAFE FOR Y'ALL TO COME BACK NOW!!!
Now for some fun shit. We're doing a bunch of spoopy Halloween stuff for our streams, playing horror games on Fridays, and then watching some horror movies on the Discord Hang! Last week we played Yuppie Psycho and watched Cabin in the Woods, which were both great! Here's hoping it gets scarier from here! I hope somebody cries. I hope it's me. I just... I just wanna feel something, ya know?
Anywho, that's about all we got goin' on this month, so we'll talk to y'all later! Kisses! With tongue. And like, too much teeth. You know, like when your faces come together too quickly and you bang your front teeth together, maybe feels like you cracked something, but it's really hot, so you keep going at it, and then you bite their lip a little with you gross broken teeth, and you slice it right open, and it's like you hit an artery or something 'cuz it's just GUSHING, but your eyes are closed, so all you feel is the warmth, so you just figure they're salivating like CRAZY and you're super good at this kissing thing, so you don't stop until they pass the fuck out on the sidewalk, and you just book it 'cuz you barely know 'em, you ain't going to prison for this, not again...
Love,
Something Witty

We really need a law protecting this kind of derivative work.

You guys are awesome! I'm a bit curious tho, is the fairytale soundtracks free to use? I wouldn't think that an anime's OST would be safe on Youtube, but whatever cuz FAIRY TALE MUSIC ROCKS!
