🏳️‍🌈Welcome Tips for New Patrons!🏳️‍🌈 (Patreon)

This is a handy, quick reference guide for how to get the most out of your patronage. <3

I have to be doggedly spoiler free. Spoilers are an occupational hazard for any reactor, and I have the unfortunate habit of extracting a lot of information from even the tiniest details. Please do not comment or message me any kind of hint or specific excitement about a film/series/season/episode I have not seen yet--even if you know something happens that I'm going to love. Unfortunately, you can't react to the same thing twice. (We're also generally spoiler-averse here, so please hide spoilers whenever possible.)

Join the Discord! If you're a patron of Tier 2 or higher, you can join the full Gaywatch Discord, where reactions are streamed and conversations are plentiful. Tier 1 patrons are allowed limited Discord access so that they can join Gaywatch Live streams. Switch on DIscord in your Patreon settings and it connects automatically after a day or two, max.

After Dark is where the bonus content comes from! You can check the tag for the current series-in-progress (and, in the future, keep an eye out for when to vote for the next series).

There's a monthly movie sweepstakes! Each month, everyone throws the name of a movie at me, I throw the list into a randomizer, and whichever title pops up in first place in the winner. At some point during the month, I stream the movie's reaction on Gaywatch Live and then post it here on Patreon.

Issues with WeTransfer? You can check the patron-exclusive Google Drive + Google Drive #2 for most of the backlog.

*If WeTransfer isn't giving you trouble, please leave the Drive for others to use. Google uses a daily download/view limit and we don't want people with tech issues to be shut out completely.

Don't be afraid to ask questions! This is a helpful, zero judgment community where no question is too silly or basic. On Discord, the Gaywatch server has a Newcomers Look Here category with a discord-for-newbies area in case your new to it. <3

We respect opinions and encourage healthy discussion around here. There are a lot of fandoms and a lot of ships flying around, and judgment never mixes well in a melting pot of ideas. Embrace diverse outlooks, communicate your boundaries, and do not hesitate to tell me (or a Discord Mod), about any hateful language, exclusionist rhetoric, or Purity Culture behavior.

NOTE: I live with a variety of mental issues, namely ADHD and anxiety. For me, this means my productivity is around half of what we expect from functioning neurotypicals, and I risk burnout under much less harsh conditions than what many people would consider "valid." I do my best to get content in your hands at whatever pace is best for my mental health at the time, so you may notice periods of high activity followed by slower ones. This keeps me from having to stop completely for who knows how long. Your patience is deeply appreciated. <3
