Merritt's Story Book 1 Finale: Request/Opt Out (Patreon)

I've set a release date for the final 5 chapters of Merritt's Story book 1!

As I mentioned in a previous post, these "top secret" book 1 finale chapters will go out as PDFs to your Patreon-linked email address instead of posting directly to the feed.  Because each file is unique, I can only email them to 50 patrons per day, from January 25 to 29.

If you are a current patron pledging $2 or more at the time I prepare the emails, you WILL receive the chapters unless you're in the *no reward* tier or you opt out using the linked Google form.

Future $2+ patrons will have the option to request the finale chapters later on, and future non-finale chapters will post to the feed as usual.  More details to come on release day!

*****

Please fill out the linked form by January 20 if you are a $2+ patron and:

1. you want to receive the chapters as early as possible. People who select this option will be prioritized - first come, first served - and will likely get the chapters on the first 1-2 delivery days.

2. you are pledging for *no reward* but you want to receive the chapters anyway.  You can request priority delivery or not.

3. you are pledging *with rewards* and you DO NOT want to receive the chapters.  This will be a one-time-only email, but here's your chance to opt out.

If you are in a $2+ tier with rewards and want to receive the chapters but don't mind being later on the list, you can fill out the form, but you don't have to.  You'll get the email all the same.

*****

And finally - this is totally optional, but there is a $30/year premium version of the mail merge app that would allow me to send 250 individualized emails per day instead of 50.  If anyone would like to contribute toward EVERYONE getting the chapters (and monthly Pogo email letters) on day 1, I set this as my current ko-fi goal.  If we get to 80% of the $30 ko-fi goal by January 20, I'll upgrade to premium for the year and send out all the Merritt Story emails on January 25, and all monthly Pogo/guest email letters for the year will go out in one day instead of two.  If we don't get to 80%, any incoming funds will help cover the cost of copyright filing instead.

Here is a link to my ko-fi if you'd like to contribute.  (Ko-fi is a site that lets you tip creators in $3 increments via Paypal.  I use Patreon to fund the continuous creation of DOTU-related content, and I use ko-fi to help offset expenses or upgrade services and equipment.)

Again, ko-fi donations toward faster Merritt's Story delivery are 100% OPTIONAL and will only get these emails (and this year's Pogo letters) out a little earlier.  The emails will go out no later than January 29 regardless.

Thanks, dudes!  I can't believe book 1 is almost done! :D  10 months, 150K words.  Whew!
