Patreon Fees & Badge Giveaway (Patreon)

Just wanted to let you all know that the "STAY SWOLE" badges have been mailed out as of 16 Dec 2017, to 19 different addresses around the globe. This is actually kinda new to me, and I'm thinking of what future tokens of appreciation might be good. The badges should arrive (within 7-14 working days) to patrons pledging $5 (and above), who've provided their mailing addresses. You still have time to update them before the year ends (do inform me if you do so after this post). Here's hoping they get to everyone by the holidays!

Update on Patreon Fees 

So just a very quick update on the recent patreon fee situation, is that Jack Conte, CEO of Patreon, has thoroughly reviewed user feedback, called up creators and cancelled the original plans to implement the fee charges. This is good news for creators, and it has been expressed that they will find better means of implementing their system, hopefully not in a manner that affects the $1 pledges.

There are other creators out there, who have not been as fortunate, and have lost patrons as a result of the announcement. Hopefully, with time, these losses can be recovered. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you guys for sticking around and being patient while the developments unfolded over the weekend.

Have yourself a wonderful holiday this season and be well!

Thank you!
