A Question about Merch (Patreon)
Content
TL;DR: would you buy a cute plushy of my archer persona?
As my social media presence has grown, the topic of merch has come up a few times, but I’ve generally dismissed it because (and this may just be imposter syndrome talking) it often feels like it would be kind of… self-centred? Self-aggrandising? Something like that, anyway.
Aaanyway, fast forward to this week, and I’ve been contacted by a company that make themed plushies of all things, asking if I’d like to collaborate. Which feels like an incredibly weird thing to do/promote, but they’ve also mocked up a design concept, and it’s pretty cute:
So now I’m torn, because I think it would be a funny thing to exist and have hanging from a light in my house, but if they make them then I’d have to promote them and sell a few to recoup their costs.
So the question to you, I guess is: is it too weird? Would any of you want something like this? Or am I just getting carried away because someone put slightly more effort than normal into a change collab request?
Ground me or enable me: your choice!
