Patreon Changes: Let's Talk! (Patreon)

There's been a lot on my mind for my Patreon, alongside everything else I've been cooking up! I was hoping to get a little input in before these adjustments are made. I think they are mostly good changes, but we'll see!

Early Access posts: I'm thinking that while Patrons will still get early access, it will no longer be an entire month. Mainly because I tend to dedicate the month to creating what will be used for next month's physical goods, so they WILL be seen at least in the ad, so it's never really a whole month anyway? The advantage Patrons will get in the future is access to higher rez images that won't be posted elsewhere. 

Pink Sock WiP Access: Just thinking of allowing Pink Sock $3 tier access to my WiP sketches too!

Thicker "Bonus Presents" for $25+ tiers:   Thicker meaning.... things I can no longer fit inside a simple envelope. I want to expand into more fun things for this tier than flat things. I want to do things like charms, pins, and if things go well enough perhaps even monthly SOCKS!? A major advantage of this switchover would be tracking numbers, so if something might have happened to the goods, we can see where it got lost, if it got lost, or if it's just taking it's sweet time.

The one major disadvantage here would be for international shipping which cost between $12-$25 for a small flat package depending on where you live. My solution to remedy this is making an international version of "Complete Breakfast" tier priced at $37 and just bite the bullet on the pricier shipping. 

In the event an international Patron wants to remain in the $25 tier, I'll see about making some nice FLAT bonus gifts for them to even things out a tad.

I'll see about personally messaging every non US resident on the "Complete Breakfast" tiers before committing to this change, just in case they missed this memo so they can decide if they want to move up a tier, or down a tier, or perhaps chill out in the $25 tier. International "Forbidden Socks" Patrons will not be affected.

OF COURSE

These changes aren't immediate, or even set in stone. The soonest these changes will occur is November, and will happen at the very beginning of the month they do occur. I'll definitely let you know when I am certain, and at the moment I'm not even certain if I'll go with these changes yet!

I just wanted to let you all know what I'm leaning towards, and maybe get some input before I make any BIG changes.

Anyhoo thank you so much for reading!!

And of course, thank you for your kind support~<3
