Big patreon changes PART 2 (Patreon)
Content
HEY whew sorry for putting up that big update post and then running off for like a week!! i'm home now and wanted to answer some questions here in a separate post, to make sure everyone will see em. i appreciate the feedback, it helps a lot to know everyone's thoughts!
TIER PRICES
some of you guys were concerned about the NSFW tier prices! to clear some things up, currently it IS possible to limit your pledge amount to only the first charge (meaning you'd only be paying $10 at the end of the month total instead of the $30 for the $10 tier) (because I charge 3 times a month) (it's CONFUSING, see why i want to switch to a monthly one-charge??? lol) so YES, if you're limiting your monthly pledge to only one or two charges in the current $10 tier, the $25/month change would be an increase. it's a decrease in price if you're currently allowing all 3 charges.
i'm absolutely open to ideas on how to balance this out a bit more. i was considering having finished NSFW art in a lower tier, and requests/polls for the NSFW art in a higher tier? so you could pledge lower if you only wanted to see the finished art, but also have the option to pledge higher and get a say in what would be drawn each month. this would make it easier to allow finished NSFW art to be available with a lowered pledge amount.
in the last post's tier preview i put all NSFW in one tier (the highest tier) so people who weren't interested in NSFW could opt out entirely. this was suggested by some patrons a little while ago, but it would require the pledge amount to be the highest of the tiers.
NSFW CONTENT
if you haven't seen iggy's giant [redacted] but have always wanted to, i've got some good news. after the revamp, i will happily include my other OCs to be chosen for the monthly NSFW art! i love mitch and jonas to death but sometimes it does get a LITTLE old drawing them and only them for the NSFW for years HAHA. i plan to make an OC page for quick info about my characters in part for this feature.
MERCH GIVEAWAY - INTERNATIONAL?
YES part of the reason i want to do the patreon merch giveaway is to give international readers a chance to score some LE stuff. because i know shipping prices can be wack.
WHEN'S THIS HAPPENING AGAIN?
the sooner the better (for me, my mental health, my wrist, my neck, my back, my fdsghs, and my crack). i'm aiming for January or February 2020. not sure if that's too short notice tho?? i have no idea haha. and this revamp would take place BEFORE Long Exposure is completed. LE probably has another 4-6 months. or more? i have a really hard time predicting how long chapters will take so... don't quote me on that lol.
let me know if you guys have any more questions, concerns, etc, or if it all sounds good so far! thanks!!
