News in regard to this Patreon (Patreon)
Content
First of all, thanks everyone for your support so far!
I am NOT declaring this Patreon dead or deserted or anything! But, noticing the slow but certain decrease in support that has happened during the last couple of years, I believe I need to do something about it.
I may not have mentioned this before, but I have been heavily overworking myself with the creation of my two comics ever since I started this Patreon. I've been hoping for years now that working hard on the quality of the content created here would be enough to attract more support on the long run and eventually I could stop underpaying myself for the work (I can share with all of you the actual math of this if you are interested). Sadly it would seem we have hit a ceiling during december of 2020 and the support ever only decreased since then. By this point I had planned for the support to be higher than it is, and I cannot keep hoping we'll get there when it's very possible that may not happen.
Sadly, I cannot afford to overwork myself like that anymore. The bad financial situation of the world in general, the terrible currency exchange that happens everytime Patreon sends it's payments and the decrease in support make it impossible now.
I intend to do two things based on that:
1.- Keep the rewards as they are now, for as long as we remain above the threshold of $1200 every month. Meaning I'll keep delivering two Moonlace pages, two Bethellium pages, one pinup and one memoirs page for the time being. But if the support decreases below that, I'll need to make adjustments accordingly.
2.- I'll reestructure this Patreon in order to attract more potential supporters and give it a very needed boost. Meaning you'll be seeing some minor changes soon.
So, in general, my regular patrons should see no major changes, but I wanted to warn you anyway that some things may change. You can already see a new banner on top of my Patreon adjusted to reflect this.
The biggest change you're gonna notice, is that I'll start removing every content post older than six months of the running month in order to motivate new patrons to remain regular and not pop in once every two years or so. Patrons who remain regular for six months will be able to ask me for any past reward of their respective tier anytime. Furthermore, you won't need to go back and redownload every reward of your tier, because I'll be putting together packs of images, videos, comics, etc. that you can download while I make these changes throughout the summer. I also intend to temporarily make these packs available to new patrons during a special offer campaign during July to attract more support, since it seemed to work fairly well during december 2020.
I will also stop entirely the creation of any additional rewards aside of the usual monthly four comic pages, the monthly pinup and the monthly memoirs page. If at any point the monthly amount collected by Patreon increases or decreases, I'll tell you immediately in order to adjust the rewards accordingly.
Also based on previous polls, I may shift the regular pinup into two or more less detailed pictures per month focusing more on NSFW, and start working on side stories of Bethellium just like with Memoirs, as soon as we're done with Jen's memoir.
My intention is to affect my regular patrons the least possible, but I sincerely apologize in case any of these changes affect you negatively. You know I'm always reachable here through comments or private messages in case you want to express your discomfort, suggestions or feedback of any kind.
Thanks a lot again for your understanding and support!
