A couple of oncoming changes (Patreon)
Content
I've decided that going forward, there's going to be a new reward tier that'll be opening later today. It's an "early access" tier, that I'm thinking will start at $2. Basically through this I will publish the kind of free stories you've been seeing, but exclusively through this tier for the first five days. So going forward, those that pay through this tier, or above obviously, will be getting them earlier than everyone else.
A key thing to talk about, is that Patreon has certain rules about sexual themed posts. The general idea is the page needs to be marked Mature, which this is, and also that posts of content need to be Patron-only.
Now the thing about this is, it seems to implicate sexual imagery. Which obviously isn't quite what we're putting forth at the moment. Once I hopefully get to having the visual novel in the works and have screenshots to show and whatnot maybe that will be a different story, for now it's mere words. I keep trying to look into this and I really can't tell if just, stories, count. Maybe it actually doesn't, and I'm fine.
Even still, it's something I worry about. I'm still very much small-time right now, but the page is slowly but surely growing and as it gets bigger, I think there's more risk there. So I've given a fair bit of thought into making all the stories Patron-only. I don't really wanna, I like having a catalog of free stuff so people will know what they're getting into, but I'm not familiar enough with how Patreon's enforcement works to know if I'll get a warning first or if they'll just be deleted. I can't risk that.
So uh yeah, if anybody knows anything more about that, has any advice on that front, I'd like to hear it. Otherwise I may be making that change soon. You will definitely know in advance before it happens.
