October newsletter + calendar (Patreon)

Hi.

First:

Patrons Credits Survey for 2X HEAT 

If you would like to appear on the credits page for 2X HEAT, please fill out this form.

I changed some of the settings on the form. I've tried to set it up so you will receive a response with your submission info so you can keep track of whether you submitted it or not. You should also now be able to use your email address to edit your response. Please let me know if it's weird or set up wrong. 

As a reminder, this form will remain open through the end of November (so, two full months) while I am working on Chapter 2X HEAT. You only need to submit the form once. I will post a last call post at the end of November.

October calendar attached. Jack is in costume. But(t) it's hard to tell what his costume is because it's from the back, so here's a hint.

12 INVITATION COMPLETE
Big chapter. Done. Ready for I think early 2022. Haven't looked at the schedule yet but I'll update it soon. This one turned out really well, although I guess some people may gripe that there's no sex content. (Plot? In MY sex comic?) 

2X HEAT thumbnails begin
...and so I'll be starting a filler chapter this month to follow invitation. Something candle-themed. If you think you know where this is going, you're probably right.

$1000/month milestone/stretch goal change
So I had originally planned to start a sticker subscription tier when we hit $1000/month, but in August I started looking into the process for this in earnest (since we're getting close) and unfortunately at this time, due to logistics, I don't think I can offer a sticker sub tier. :( 

So, instead, here are my new plans for the stretch goal:

-I still plan to open a merch shop through TeePublic. The shop will primarily carry apparel (most notably, some of the shirts shown in the comic), but also some prints, stickers, and other merch. 

-I still plan to open a new tier, but instead of sticker subscription, I am planning this to be an Influencer PLUS tier with the following intended perks:

• One monthly Familiar artwork poll -- this is intended to combine the drawn prompts thing and the request for more artwork/exclusive artwork and specific artwork ideas
• At least one monthly art stream -- wherein I work on the artwork
• +1 Discord access for your best friend, significant other, etc

All Patrons will be able to enjoy the final artwork, but it will be Patreon exclusive. However, only members of the new tier will be able to vote/suggest the content of the artwork, and only members of the new tier (and any +1s) will be able to view the stream. 

Maybe some day I will figure out the sticker thing, but for now, I hope this is just as good!

Your feedback and input always appreciated. Thanks as ever.
