To THING or NOT TO THING the ALTHING? (Patreon)

HALLO LOVES

a real quick poll for you. 

so, as i'm sure you have noticed...the podcast is coming out about four times a month, and as we discussed long long ago, i'm charging for it every time it drops, instead of monthly. we at team AFP thought a LOT about that and whether or not it would alienate or exhaust people. who knows? we guessed.

but meanwhile...as long as the podcast is going, we don't need the ultra-reliability of the althing (for you newbies, that's the monthly round-up blog that we charge for). there's also going to be art and music projects coming out...songs, videos, all the usual, I STILL MAKE MUSIC...there may be months with 6-7 things if the althing is included.....gahhhhh.....

BUT, again, on the other hand, hopefully everybody has CAPPED THEIR PLEDGE where they are comfy (if you haven't already, you can learn how to set a monthly maximum to cap your pledge here). 

but then AGAIN, the podcast isn't evergreen and may come to an end. the althing is also a great way to keep track of everything, but i'm not sure how many of you actually need it, or read it, and it takes me, the team, and especially hayley a full few days every month to pull it together. 

OOF?????

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this is a hard one, and every time i get to a point in the road where i'm flummoxed, i do the easy thing and come to YOU with my shoulders shrugged, trying to figure out what people think.

we have discussed maybe turning it into more of a news-like AFP-reads-the-latest-like-an -anchor video update - as a LIVE WEBCHAT that the webchat tier can access, and the rest of the patrons can access after - instead of gazillions of photos and so much text....would that grab any of you as a better idea than the VERY LONG ALTHING.....? $10+ people, would you dig that? i need to get back in the habit of doing more $10+ webchats anyway, and this might be a good excuse to do them monthly NO MATTER WHAT, if they be THINGED....and i could buy a news anchor suit.

we are making all the rules up as we go along, as you know.

tell me what you think. vote in the poll, leave comments, we're reading.
