NEW/PROSPECT PATRONS! CHARGING UPFRONT, NEW REWARDS! (Patreon)

This is a public post because it affects people who would like to become a Patron, and not so much current Patrons.

CHARGE UPFRONT: 

It's the beginning of the month, and I have decided to roll out the charge upfront option. I suspect this will be mandatory soon, and I would like to have it start in the beginning of the month, rather than being blindsided by it. I don't want it to be a surprise to you or myself. I want it to be structured.

As you might know, my kind of content and the amount people dislike me leads to people pledging, getting rewards, then never paying. This rectifies that, and keeps this a safe place for people who actually support. It will take stress away from me having to worry about banning people who are acting up or misusing the site. :)

WHAT CHANGES FOR ME AS AN EXISTING PATRON?

- Existing Patrons are still charged on the 1st of the month (or first week of the month).

- Tangible rewards still go out in a structured manner for all of last month's paying Patrons each month. This pertains to things like autographed images, selfie reviews, etc.. Anything that ISN'T a post on Patreon.

-Posts on Patreon will be viewable as soon as they're up, and Patrons can see ALL old posts from before they pledged as usual.

- If you increase your pledge, you will be charged the difference. If you decrease your pledge, but already paid for a tangible reward, you still get it for the month paid.

HOW ABOUT AS A NEW PATRON?

- New Patrons will be charged as soon as they pledge, then on the 1st of every month if they stay pledged. This means if you pledge on the 31st, you will be charged for that month, then the next day for the next. BUT it also means you get last month's rewards for your tier, too. So... 2 months worth of autographed images, instead of one. YOU ARE NOT BEING CHARGED EXTRA WITH NO REWARD. :)

IF YOU HAVE ANYMORE QUESTIONS...Here is the official post, FAQ and all, about upfront charging. I want to be as transparent as possible about what happens with your pledge! https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/210291283

Please direct any questions you might have to me on this post, or in Discord!

NEW REWARDS:

I've added a few things to each tier. These are the things you get at EVERY TIER. Some of these were already happening, such as the monthly giveaway for all Patrons, and some things are new. I will be doing a Periscope chat sometime this month for Patrons only, since we reached that goal last month. :)
