【Poll】 Should Patreon reflect 5,000-word chapters? (Patreon)

【tl;dr】 Please vote to indicate that you at least read updates.

So, I've been saying since Sharing the Night finished that I would be moving the Patreon to match the 5,000 word chapters I'm actually writing now.  Obviously, all goal and reward tiers would be cut in half if I did this, but it would be up to each individual patron to actually change their pledges to reflect the change.

This is kind of a big issue.

I respect and appreciate all of your pledges, and the absolute last thing I want to do is to have someone look in on things six months down the line and realize they're being charged double what they signed up for.

If I do this, I will be retiring the current tiers and creating new ones.  The hidden tiers would be grandfathered in to receive benefits one tier higher than they currently receive, just in case.  This would, however, mean that current tier one backers would be getting tier two benefits for significantly less.  That sounds great to me, since it would encourage tier one backers to stay in their grandfathered tier, but it would undermine current tier two backers and I wouldn't blame them if they dropped a tier before the change.  I'd definitely announce the change beforehand explicitly so they can do that, but it just… makes things more complicated than I'd like

It's just an awkward situation all around.
