 Hey there Foundation staff, Shurm here. You guys do so much to support the channel through views, Patreon, and merch, and every so often I like to give you guys an update on how things have been going in the background so you know what you're supporting and where we're taking Site 42 in the future. First a quick refresher on where we've been. This channel is a couple of years old, but the real birthday of me taking it seriously is in July of 2017. After six months of work, we've gone from 150 to 2755 subs, zero patrons to eight patrons, and we've got over 215 videos on the channel. We've had collaborations with a huge chunk of the SCP creator community, including the Vulgan, Agitated Hedgehog, Synthetic Alien, Dr. Jeremiah Samarian, and future collaborations are already recorded and sent in for Haunted Reader and SCP Illustrated. The future, well, that's where things get interesting. For the immediate future, I want to let you all know that due to some personal life conflict, my live streams are going on a temporary hiatus. I can still sneak in some recording now and then, and I do have a backlog of videos to weather the storm, but for the time being, Skip Dictation Live and Critique Lab are on hold. In better news, we all want to see more and better SCP content out there, and now that Site 42 is gaining some traction, I've begun the process of expanding the channel in a couple of ways. First, more interesting SCP merch. There isn't a lot of it out there, and what is there is normally just an SCP logo or a D-Class number. Since Site 42 now makes a small amount of ad revenue, and patrons are just the best, I've invested in some artists to create new and interesting designs based on SCP stuff. Wear your fandom with pride, friends. Second, in the same vein as above, I want to encourage growth in the SCP Reader community, especially in terms of quality. This channel is called Site 42 and not The Sherm's awesome awesome fun time SCP readings, because I want Site 42 to feel like a community and later on a full-fledged studio, and if you want good work, you have to pay for it. I've invited some trusted, high-quality SCP readers to submit SCP readings to Site 42, and in return, I will pay them for their videos. This is similar in structure to channels like Creepy Tales for Dark Knights and the Game Theorists, multiple creators making multiple shows on the same channel. If this works out well, I might even open up the program to more artists as long as the quality standards are there. This doesn't mean I'll be cutting back on my own work, just that I want to feature other artists and help them grow as well. Third, all plans to continue on to making live-action SCP films are moving forward. The more we grow as a channel, the closer we are to having a budget to hire a film crew and bring some skips into the real world. Look forward to mid-March, when I'm going to have a special surprise for you on that front. Without tipping my hand too far, let's just say I have some friends in the industry who want to test something for us. And that's all for now. I hope this update has you excited for what 2018 is going to bring to Site 42 and the SCP community at large. Do all that YouTube stuff with the like, share, and subscribing. Hit the Discord server, merch, store, or Patreon if you're so inclined. And see you next time, Foundation staff.
