Regarding Patreon Packs (Patreon)
Content
It has been suggested to me by a couple different people that the way I'm running my monthly Patreon Packs might not be satisfactory to everyone. I am considering stopping the Packs in favor of another option, but I want to talk about it with you all before changing anything.
As a refresher, each month I do a series of illustrations over a certain theme. This theme is decided by a vote by my $5+ patrons, with a second poll a few days later to determine the individual images in that Pack. I have always been happy to put suggestions from patrons in the polls, though rarely have I actually been given any suggestions to put in the poll.
But as I said earlier, I am not sure if that plan is something everyone enjoys. Running a poll always means the choices people want have a chance of losing, and I can see where this might cause some irritation. I want to give people something they can be happy about, so if there's a better option, I'd love to take it!
One option would be to open a Suggestion Box, take two or three of those ideas each month, and draw them out. There would likely have to be some rules in this box that I'd have to figure out of I take this option, but I'll figure that out later.
I'll be putting this to a vote soon, but first I wanted to be able to have a discussion! Does the current Patreon Pack model work for you? Would you like to see it replaced by a Suggestion Box or some other idea? Do you have any grievances to air or congratulations to give? Please, by all means, let me know!
TL;DR - Patreon Packs might not be the best idea - is there a better one?
