A change to the volunteer plan (Pixiv Fanbox)

Short version:

I'll delete the 100 yen starting volunteer plan and replace it with a new 200 yen plan with the same name at the end of this month.

A reason is the change in the exchange rate. Thank you for your support and hope you understand.

Long (and probably rambling) version:

Dear all wonderful supporters, especially our volunteer plan, Thank you so much for your support that have helped us grow and create so many weird and wonderful lewd works. I am grateful everyday that I get to do this with you.

Now that I buttered you up, here comes the bad news. I'll mainly addressing our 100yen volunteer plan supporters from here on. (The rest of y'all wont be affected, I believe)

The plan is: We are retiring the 100yen plan here and will replace it with a 200 yen plan as our new starting plan.

*Technical side: I checked on fanbox FAQ and all of you currently in 100 yen plan should have access until the end of the month even with the plan deleted, but let me know if things go wrong. https://fanbox.pixiv.help/hc/en-us/articles/360003698974--If-creator-delete-support-plan-which-I-am-supporting-

Some of you might have guessed already that it's mainly due to the exchange rate.

When I started doing Fanbox I priced my starting plan simply at 100 yen which was closer to 1 usd at that point in time. It's now around 0.7 usd, so even with our growing archive of works available, our entry price is growing cheaper. It's been a few years and we've since retired all the 1 usd plans/tiers elsewhere for many reasons (high fees at Substar, Patreon wasn't happy with some of our more extreme content so I tried to limited the audience over there) and I think it's now time to do the same here. That said, the 200 yen here would still be our cheapest entry plan by comparison to our other sites. I think that's fair since the works here have to be censored

I recieved kind messages from many of you about how good it is that we keep this price but I hope you understand my reasons for this change. While I hope you join us again at the new 200 yen plan, I also completely understand if you cannot (or choose not to) continue to support us due to this change.

As much as I appreciate your supports to what we make here. It shouldn't be anyone 's first priority. The economy is getting bad everywhere for many people and I hope you first and foremost take care of yourself and your loved ones. I'm thankful for the jouney we have taken together and as you know I'll post the large part of my works publicly as always.

Again, Thank you so much for being here. Feel free to let me know your thoughts. I want to hear from you!

I hope to see you again and as always, YOU ROCK!

**I deleted the 100 yen plan! You should still be able to access the posts tho. I think it's best if you wait until next month if you wanna rejoin us in the 200 yen plan. Sorry for the inconveniences and thank you so much!!
