Still waiting (Patreon)
Content
Creating a new entry, the previous one was starting to be a bit cluttered.
Well no response to my long mail yet. With the vacations around the corner I'm starting to fear there's a possibility it's going to be delayed up after them >_> ( when are Christmas vacations starting in US ? )
If that's the case, keep in mind the site is not going to charge you anything as long as my page is frozen.
Also, me I'm not in vacations ! If you remember, I took a break two months ago and that was basically my Christmas break taken in advance. ( We gathered with my family at this time because of my brother who was leaving for abroad ). This means I'm drawing right now and will be for all of December ;3 ( Elorie pages, cowgirl escape and many others ).
Once my page get back up it's clear there is going to be some adjustments to be made though. One that is certain to happens is me using external sites from now on . For instance the gallery made by GameOfPickles is going to be especially handy !
I also hear a lot of people talking about alternatives to Patreon and two names in particular come back often : Subscribestar and Sponsorion.
For subscribestar, my opinion is a little mixed for now. The site looks nice but when you read their TOS it's... pretty vague on adult content ( and lately I'm kind of wary of vague guidelines in TOS .. ). I contacted them to ask them outright if the kind of stuff I draw would be ok on their platform and they replied to me that they are creating a landing for nsfw artists that is going to come "soon". So yeah we'll see.
For Sponsorion, well this one is not vague at all ! On contrary they say mostly every type of adult content will be welcome on their platform and that's including vore ! Yup they even say the word on their TOS XD. Problem is the site is not up yet. Here too the team say "soon".
So that means for now I have to stick with Patreon. Migrating to a new site is a huge move in general, full of risk so it's not something i'm going to take lightly. But the option is definitely on the table in the future, especially if Patreon keep showing so little respect and care to creators..
By the way is it just me or this end of the year has been marked by a lot of large companies being complete jerks to their customers? ( I mean even more than usual ) Blizzard, Bethesda, Tumblr, Patreon etc...
Anyway, we have to wait for now. Thank you again for your support and patience all of you :) And hopefully we can soon put those tense and bad times behind us !
