Yo! I’m a little late but its been 2 years since I launched this Patreon 🎉, and the support it has received has been genuinely life changing so I can’t thank y’all enough. But with that I have felt the itch to make some additions and changes to the way this Patreon is run!
- First off, I want to start diversifying the characters, and so polls are going to become far more frequent. Character polls, series/theme polls, comics polls etc. Every tier will have access to polls but voting power increases with each tier, so if you are in the higher tiers make sure to vote in every poll available to you!
- Second, those in the $12 and above can make suggestion FOR the polls! There’ll be exclusive posts for $12+ members to comment their suggestions and given the suggestions aren’t hyper niche there’s a good chance for them to end up in the polls!
- Third, concerning the VIP tier, due to popular demand I want to allow the opportunity for new people to join. The way it currently is set up means slots very rarely open up, and whilst I massively appreciate the continued support from those that have stuck around with the $20 tier I do think I oughta make some room for newcomers 😭.
- Patreon annoyingly doesn’t have the most robust features in terms of allowing this so I will need to mull over how I should go about implementing it. I am considering allowing 2-3 consecutive months before a patron reaches their limit and a new slot opens up. I am also thinking of allowing a cooldown period so that those that want to rejoin the VIP tier can after a month or so. I will discuss this with all current VIP members and once I’ve decided on how to pull off this change I’ll make a more concise post detailing it to everyone.
- Fourth! DISCORD! Planning to make a Discord, this will be used for community engagement, announcements, feedback and all other discordian activities. The potential is huge and will be arriving soon, I am diligently working on it as someone that isn’t well versed in Discord whatsoever 💀 Access will be available to every tier as well.
- Fifth, this is a less concrete change that I have had rattling in my head and so it will be left entirely up to you guys. I have considered upping the $6 tier to $7, however I don’t want to implement this change if it ends up being prohibitive or seen as unreasonable. Below is the poll to vote on whether or not you’d be okay with that increase, be completely honest! If the majority sentiment is positive the change will take place in July.
And beyond this poll do give any and all feedback you may have in the comments, I’m receptive to it all and would like to hear your thoughts! Appreciate y’all massively and hope you all look forward to the art and comics I cook up ❤️
