Logo for the Jaguar Tribe (Patreon)
Content
My plan is to make patches (or stickers?), and everyone gets one (if they want it) once they've hit some milestone. Patrons who've been with me for a year, community helpers like Grey who pitch in for things like the grant fund, people who've been with me since the Livejournal days, etc. Alinsa also suggested vinyl stickers, which I have no objection to either! Or any other swag (like the little sticker versions for con badges, or con badge ribbons). It's just a matter of pricing them and seeing what I can afford.
I thought briefly about having the date on them for each person's "start in the tribe" but that would get super-expensive. I could maybe swing a "From the LJ Era" and "From the Patreon Era"... or possibly decades ("Joined in the '90s!") but I don't know. I also thought about having extra titles instead ("Patreon Patron!" "Community Volunteer!" "Candle Duty!" "First Reader Team!" "Super Reviewer!") with different colors? Dunno! Right now I'm still messing with ideas. Tell me yours! 😊
(As an aside, if you're interested in that 'community volunteer' title, I have some plans: volunteering would be a different way to get into the Discord chat if you don't have the money. Tell me if you want in!)
