CHANGES TO THE PATREON COMING IN JUNE (Patreon)

Hey everyone, I wanted to just touch base about a couple of changes that will be made to this Patreon coming in June. I'll be removing some things and adding other benefits to compensate for what is being removed, so make sure you read the post in full!

• REMOVING THE REQUEST TIER: This has been a hard decision for me to make, but I've decided to remove the request tier for the time being. I've been getting busier and busier with my irl job lately, and it looks like the summer will be even worse. As a result I've been having trouble scheduling all the request stories in the limited period of a month and for the sake of my own mental health I think I need to change my format to be a little less intensive time wise.
• WRITING MORE COMMISSIONS: To compensate for the loss of the requests, I will be focusing more on commission work. Once I've worked through the current batch I'll be opening them again, and I should be consistently opening them every few weeks. This will not only allow me to have a more flexible schedule, but will allow more people to get stories done rather than the people in the request slots getting all the opportunities. Patrons will get first crack at these commission slots, and I won't go to dA unless I can't fill what I need to from here alone.
• MOST COMMISSIONS POSTED FROM JUNE ONWARD WILL BE EXCLUSIVE TO THE $7 AND HIGHER: Also to compensate for the loss of the requests, most of the commissions posted from this June onward will be exclusive to the Patreon, so you will still be getting stories that won't be posted elsewhere. I will be posting one or two a month to dA to help promote me, but that's it.
• THE REQUEST STORIES ALREADY ON THE PATREON WILL REMAIN EXCLUSIVE: I'll be updating the directory soon, but I won't be making those public. You still have access to those as part of your core benefits.
• I WILL ALSO BE CONTINUING WITH THE CURRENT POLL CONTENT: That means the biweekly stories, the chapter stories, the first person stories, and the big stories from the polls will still continue as normal.

All in all, 96% of you won't really be affected by these changes at all since the $7 tier will retain exclusive stories and polls will continue to function as normal, but I wanted you all to be aware that they would be happening. I thank everyone for continue to support me, and I hope with these changes I'll be able to create better stories that are a little less stressful for me to churn out.
