Important Steps for Starting Patrons (Patreon)
Content
I have noticed many Patrons keep quiet, pay a bit and leave- while this shouldn't be too bothersome, the case that worries me are those that feel that I 'fail to uphold the offered benefit'.
I think the issue stems in most part from the fact that there isn't exactly instructions or a guide on how to claim some of the benefits, so I will lay out a few simple Q&A to get this sorted out:
Q) I would like to propose a suggestion and I have the right tier, how do I do it?
A) Each month there will be a new 'Suggestion Monthly Post' out for people to comment on. The way you can find those is to put on the page's searchbar 'Story Suggestion!' and then you may be able to write on the comments there. Of course, each month will have a newer Suggestion Monthly Post, so writing in old ones will not yield any results.
Q) In regards to the Weekly Polls, if I wanted to have an option from a past poll brought up, what kind of rules do I need to keep an eye on?
A) This is actually very important. You may offer your option suggestion by the comments of the latest poll/poll results. What you need to keep in mind is that: 1) The option is not one with an independent thread/it's now outside the Bukharin Snippet/story idea Archive and 2) it's not a story that is not part of the archive at all and it is actually discontinued/on hiatus/abandoned.
Q) If I have questions, can I send a message?
A) You can actually! While it may feel a bit jarring and at times unnerving to ask questions through Private Messages, I am actually one of the few authors that will give you the time and care to answer your questions. Of course, I work on a specific time zone (Central Europe Zone) so I may not be around at specific hours and questions may take a while to receive answers.
