Patreon Updates, and what to do about them (Patreon)

As some of you may know, Patreon is updating their system very soon. January 1st's billing will be different from previous pledges. If you're unaware of the change, here's a quick summary:

Previously I (and all creators) have been covering Patreon's 5% fee and the processing fees for the service. Patreon has decided to change this and put the fee onto the patrons, at a rate of 2.9% + $0.35 to each of your pledges. 

Meaning that the pledge rates will increase to (approximately) the following

$3.00 -> ~$3.44

$5.00 -> ~$5.50

$10.00 -> ~$10.64

$15.00 -> ~$15.79

$20.00 -> ~$20.93

$25.00 -> ~$26.08

Patreon's announced purpose for this is to create a more consistent take-home for creators. Previously I took home somewhere around 85%-93% of what you pledged, and this will allow my to take home a consistent 95% of your pledge. 

Based on the numbers, this appears to be a better take home for Patreon too, but I do not have all of the numbers on that end. 

I would prefer to just eat the cost myself, but Patreon has stated there is no way for creators to change this back and take the cost themselves. I understand this is more than what you had budgeted for in supporting me. For that reason I completely understand if you want to remove your pledge.

Otherwise, I would like to try and remedy this for you in some way. So I've listed a few options below. I would love to do all of this for you, but I'm barely making the quota for artwork as is, and so I would prefer to do what you all want the most. Please take the time to put in your opinion. I'm sorry for these changes, and I hope that you're willing to stick with me through them!
