POLL: Regarding July's Output
- Go full speed ahead on everything 1
- Limit Goatbux rewards slots for the month 9
- Do a simple Patreon Pack, or one that takes two months 2
- Go easy on Goatbux AND Patreon Pack 16
- Pause the account entirely for the month 4
As I mentioned in an earlier post ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/27692417 ), I will be leaving Sweden in early July to go back to the States for the next three months. The last time I had to be separated from my wife were really rough on me, and I've already been working pretty slow because of health concerns the last couple months.
I'm not entirely sure if I can keep up my normal output in July. I'm happy to try, if that's what the majority wants, but for this once I've decided to put things to a vote. I can go full speed; take it easy on the Goatbux rewards, Patreon Pack, or both; or just pause the whole account for the month and find another way to earn my money.
Going easy on things is definitely the option in which you all get the short end of the stick. You're supporting me and earning these benefits after all, and if you don't get them, I can understand why you'd call that unfair. That's why I'm putting things to a vote. Here's a breakdown on the options:
1. I can go full speed ahead on my work. This means a normal-sized Patreon Pack for the month and a normal amount of Goatbux rewards. This is obviously the best plan, as long as I can work well enough to complete everything on my plate.
2. I can limit the amount of Goatbux rewards I take, going by a slot system instead of taking every order I get before a certain time limit. The past two months, Goatbux rewards have been about all I've been able to complete, so limiting the amount I take will free me up for a good bit of other things if I have the energy to do them. This is something I've been considering doing for a bit.
3. I can do a Patreon Pack of simpler images, or do less than three images for the Pack, or take on a Pack where I can spread the work out over the months of July and August. This will also allow me to breathe a bit easier.
4. Option 4 is simply to combine Options 2 and 3, decreasing the expected work from me significantly for the month. Way easier on me, but way less content for you.
5. Patreon allows you the ability to pause the whole account for a month. This means that nobody would be charged for the month, and that I would have no obligations to this site for the month. If you think Option 1 is unfeasible, but Options 2-4 are unfair to you, this would be the option to pick.
Of note is that, in Options 2-4, Goatbux would be awarded as normal. There would just be less of an opportunity for you to spend them. Thank you for taking the time to read this, for voicing your opinion in this poll, and for your support in general!
