Important changes coming January (Patreon)
Content
It’s been almost two years since I started my Patreon page. It is a long time to constantly run a project that consumes so much time and energy, but I love every single moment of this journey and would not think about stopping it any time soon.
However, in past 10 months some things have changed quite a lot for me. I never spoke up about that before, and was hoping the world will get back to normal sometime soon. But it didn’t. And this is probably time to tell a little bit about that.
Early in March I was traveling right before the world decided to close the borders. I was watching this shitshow every day for a few weeks, losing my return tickets, my vacation reservations and my hope for seeing family soon. (I originally planned to travel for only 2 weeks. Ended up to be almost 9 months). I felt that my world had was crashing at that point. My Patreon work mostly happened in Moscow, and I only had a few prepared projects to share with you in April and May. I didn’t know what to do since my big workspace was also back at my family house and all of the trusted suppliers were in Russia as well.
But I managed to get through it. Constantly kept working, reorganized my Etsy store and commissions, kept running Patreon cause this is one of the best motivators for me to make more cosplays and my main inspiration for now. My friends and family came to help and shipped some of my costume parts, learned photography for me and helped me during these tough months.
I’ve been constantly making four full projects a month during these times, also adding an extra project on top of that when I could. Sewing costumes non stop, finding locations and ways to take nice pictures even though I lost access to fully equipped studios, didn’t have any of my photographer friends around, my body art artist was also back in Moscow, and everything that was simple and easy back in Russia suddenly became a big problem.
I have been thinking for quite a while about all that and realized that I’m probably taking way too much on myself right now. I am almost out of breath at this point and can’t create 5 different looks per month when there is a high chance that next week I might be banned from traveling between cities and limited to just my own flat as a place for pictures. I wish I was creative enough to handle this properly, but it got to the point where I’m not sure that my creative thinking for each project is staying the same. And that’s why I feel like it’s time to make some changes here on Patreon to keep it exciting, interesting and the same quality as always.
I want to limit my monthly amount of costumes and photoshoots to just three right now. Three different outfits and characters per month, and maybe an extra creative project as a bonus when I get a chance to travel again. I don’t want to drop my quantity of pictures though. And that’s why I would increase the amount of pictures in each photoshoot from 17-20 to 25-27 average, most likely 30 pictures per tier even. These would be full HD high quality pictures as usual, as I don’t create phone quality content for this page. You’ll get the same amount of content monthly, and won’t lose anything.
After thinking for quite some time, I decided it will be my Boudoir Bunny tier to be paused for now. It has a lot of content that is similar to the next tier, and I can always add some lingerie content to my HD Superhero (cosplay) tier.
I won’t be doing any price changes for most of my tiers, the only one affected would be HD Superhero, as I want to increase it from $20 to $25 per month. You will get a lot more content there, so don’t worry, it’s totally worth it!
The rest of my system will remain the same. My Playful Kitty and Kinky Kat tier will receive even more content from now on, which is kinda a good thing, right?
I have to talk about my monthly bonus a bit too.
I have to stop doing a separate project for every tier for a bit, but you’ll still get an exclusive NSFW photo each month, as well as access to my feed, backstages, upcoming cosplay plans and such. It felt amazing to provide you a full separate project, but I can’t do it each month, and don’t want to treat you with just selfies or something less interesting than a full photoshoot. I’ll keep creating bonus projects when I get a chance though.
Weekly update posts of my work and progress will be continued for the Seamstress Secrets and higher tiers. I might not always be publishing them each 7 days, but this only will mean you’ll get an extra updates in a bigger post.
I hope I didn’t upset you very much with the news, since you’ve been the biggest meaning for my creative process during last year and still keep being a huge part of my life. I won’t stop making new costumes and photoshoots for you, and will keep delivering my best every month.
Can’t wait to show you what I have prepared as cosplay projects for next year, cause now I will have a lot more time for each of them!
Love you,
Zoe
