I am putting this before the greeting because the Patreon app sucks: I allowed for multiple votes in the poll because else it would not make much sense, but the Patreon app often does not allow you to vote multiple times. If you can, open this on Desktop. If you can't, the app will need to be restarted after every vote. I've never done it on mobile bcs I spend so much time on my PC that I rarely do anything on mobile. But people have told me multiple votes work when you restart the app after each vote. Which sucks, and I am so sorry the app behaves that way

Hello hello, here I am again with a text post. Art is scheduled for tomorrow but this one is kind of important.

So I was thinking about changing some things up for merch, I mentioned it in the last post but since it is a Witcher some people might not have seen it. Or ppl have not read it bcs I tend to ramble and it was a wall of text XD

The merch "schedule" I have right now is mostly in place because in 2021 I wanted to send out Valentine's themed cards so I decided to send stuff out in February. But ever since it has always been a struggle because it is so close to December that I finish sending out cards in December and then have to think about what to draw for February right away. But I feel like if I want to do Valentine's themed cards sending them out in March is too late? I mean people can keep them for next year, and I don't even think ppl really send out Valentine's cards? At least not here?

But yeah, if I change the rather inconsistent schedule I have right now up and turn it into a March, June, September and December schedule I would be sending stuff out every three months and have proper breaks in between. Which would mean March would be either Valentine's or spring themed, June would be whatever I feel like, September might be autumn or Halloween themed and December would be winter themed.
And alternative to this would be changing the schedule to February, May, August and November, for the same themes.

So I decided I'd do a kind of interest check in with you guys, since it is you who will get the merch. There's three options, stick to the current schedule and keep it to three times a year or change it to one of the two suggested options.

In addition I'll ask for which kind of merch you're interested in, stickers etc. . I am only able to send out flat merch because everything that is not a simple envelope needs me to collect data digitally for customs, which would be a huge additional hassle. I'd have to type in every single persons address into forms and print out forms etc. Oh and naturally, the question of what fandom merch you want comes up as well. And if you were wondering, unthemed mostly means stuff like the Feral Bard patches I made. They were kind of Witcher themed but they work for DnD ppl as well. Or the Opossum stickers. Stuff that is not a specific fandom in itself like pretty sword stickers etc.

I will put a voting option of -------- in between the topics so please don't vote for these, it's just to have a visual divider between topics XD

Okay, I think I added everything I need. Feel free to elaborate your thoughts in the comments, I'd love to hear how you feel about this stuff. And I know this only directly relates to the three highest tiers but if you're in a non merch tier and have feelings about this that might make a difference for you changing up your sub from time to time, please chime in. No pressure though!

I am already sorry in advance for the Patreon app probably behaving badly about this again. Naturally, this site needed a UI change up instead of repairing the fckn app. No I am not bitter Q_Q

Take care and stay safe
<3

P.S.: Don't forget to put your requests in the thread from last week, I will pick some tomorrow so I can work on them properly!

The app isn't working properly (even closing between votes). I wanted to vote for all the categories in the last part, but it keeps deselecting anything but the random fantasy thing.

Ugh, I really hate that that always happens. I might just put it into an outside link the next time, do a strawpoll instead of using the patreon polls because this really is an inexcusable bug.
