Reward Tier Changes (Patreon)

This is Jane, I do a variety of things for Mir and have recently been given access to the Patreon. After some careful evaluation, we are going to be restructuring some of the tiers to give you a more cohesive experience for generously supporting our continued existence. :)

Vanilla $1

Old tier: "THANK YOU! As an official patron, you'll have access to our patron-only feed with cafe & boutique updates every month."

New tier: "Access to 'This Month at Wicked Grounds,' and ongoing related updates." The April edition of This Month at Wicked Grounds will be coming later this week!

Vanilla w/ Whip $3

Old tier: "Want to weigh in on our work? Your comments on our posts may be picked as the subject of new classes & content."

New tier: "Early access to select blog posts and the Kinky Queer Revolution Podcast, all for the price of a cup of coffee!" Part of the reason we're changing this one: all comments, regardless of pledge level, are read by us and will be drawn from when thinking about content creation. 

Vanilla w/ Whip & Sprinkles $5

Old tier: "You'll receive access to unlisted content for your eyes only -- including a new weekly advice column starting in February! -- plus all previous rewards." 

New tier: "Your questions, answered bimonthly for your eyes only! As well as early access to all blog posts, including insight on art shows, special events, new toy artists and their creations, potential guest posts, and more, as well as all previous rewards (including the podcast early access)." 

Furiosa $10

Old tier: "Every month, we'll have a patron-only live stream just for us, plus all previous rewards." 

New tier: "Early access to our video content, with the biannual option to vote on video themes! You'll also get a Patreon-exclusive sticker, and access to all previous rewards." 

Randy $20

Old tier: "Swag is on the way! At this level, you'll get a patron-only shirt (one time only), plus all previous rewards, and a shout-out for your own events and channels."

New tier: In the future, after fulfilling the patron-only shirt for folks who have already pledged at this level, we will be transitioning this to a Patreon-exclusive enamel pin (and maybe other types of physical rewards, in the years to come) due to fulfillment challenges associated with printing small batches of t-shirts. You'll also get all previous rewards, including the sticker of the Furiosa tier! 

Please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about any of these proposed changes. For those of you who got into Patreon solely to support us (thank you!), it's not unusual for creators to change their tiers around if something could be better. We want this community, both online and off, to be the best it can be. <3 

All of the higher tiers will remain the same, though your feedback is welcome!
