Ryan with his trophies - and a potential subscription change (Patreon)

Hey all,

Couldn't think of a pun for this one, but I'm pleased with how it turned out - though Abby's belly always ends up looking bigger than I picture it being in the story. I suppose I should expect that of myself.... and she has just eaten.

More pics and story updates coming soon!

In other news (and I'll do a further post about this soon, perhaps with a poll) what are everyone's thoughts on me moving from pay per post to a monthly subscription here? Effectively the amount you'd pay every month would be the same, and I wouldn't charge in any months where I didn't post a decent length story update (pretty sure Patreon allows subscriptions to be paused like that, but please correct me if I'm wrong!).

I'll be honest, the reason for changing would be because in the course of a month quite a few people bounce on, get what they want and then bounce off without paying anything. (Hey, I get it: free stuff. If you do this, I don't hate you. But it does feel a little unfair.) Changing to monthly means I can put a pay up front thing on, so people who just bounce on would at least have to pay me one dollar, lol.

Just putting the idea out there for thoughts at this stage! Either way, I'm going to start rewarding patrons who do pay and stick with me with some special stuff. I genuinely can't thank you guys enough for your support. Honestly, the thought that people are prepared to pay for something I've loved creating gives me such a buzz and really motivates me to keep writing and illustrating and improving at both. I don't get that from my day job, and I really, really really do appreciate you guys and girls for it! :)

Love and hugs,

Hal
