Housekeeping Notes: Murray Crimbo! (Patreon)

Two weeks till Christmas, everybody!  
There's a lot that will be happening in the next month, so here's the rundown:

(1) The New Patreon TOS
-Honestly, until I see a dramatic, negative fallout here, this Patreon will continue as-is.  I have my complaints (bots), and a wishlist of things I'd like to see changed as a result (get rid of bots!)  But even since day one; until a stable, better alternative arrives, or resources change, this particular boat isn't too badly rocked, or sunk yet.  Trust though, once better DOES arrive (no more bots), you'll know.

You all have been very loyal patrons, with all the growing pains along the way, and even if it's just 2 likes and a comment, it's 2-likes-and-a-comment more than when I started.  This monthly support DOES HELP me in staying upright a lot, so I really do appreciate it!  Thank you!


(2) Christmas/New Years' 2018!
-Here's my end-of-the-year schedule, pending any changes:

Monday 11th Post:
Groundwork for Christmas desktop!  I already have an idea for this. You'll be voting on something interesting though...
I have to put out the message for new requests tomorrow, finished or not, so please look for it!

Wednesday 13th Stream: Rush order for December rewards!  

Thursday 14th Stream: Streaming rewards & new desktop!
Gotta go FAST!
----- ----- -----
Monday 18th Post: Need to have preceding rewards DONE, and new requests & desktop IN.

Wednesday 20th Stream: TARA'S BIRTHDAY!  A special stream night to celebrate the most popular requested character this year!  

Thursday 21st Stream: More odds and ends!
----- ----- -----
Saturday 23rd until Tuesday 26th OFF: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  I'm out of town with the fam until Tuesday evening!

Wednesday 27th Stream: Last DM's stream of the year!  
Let's close it out with something special, eh?
----- ----- -----
January 1st: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Liquor before beer, you're in the clear!  Auld lang syne and all that!

January 2nd Stream: New Year's Special!  Short but sweet one, to get things rolling!

January 4th through 7th/8th OFF: Magfest 2018 -- I staff every year, so I'll be out -- if you're going, I hope to see you there.  Tell your friends!
----- ----- -----
January 9th OFF: MY BIRTHDAY -- AND ZIGGY'S BIRTHDAY!
I plan to be out and celebrating with friends!  

January 10th: Ziggy will get a proper birthday stream!

And onward into 2018!  Exciting times!

 
(3) New Goal: $500 per month 'Comic Omnibus'
-The goal is already up, and summarized there: Once this place cracks $500 per month, I'll already be on a more regular pace for one-shot comics, and work on the next book.  ALL patrons here will get a monthly shot of every comic, zipped up for your reading pleasure!

I need comics to be a regular part of this place, it should be a goal!
There's been one-shots at the start of streams in October as a test -- gonna work to make that a regular fixture on Wednesday nights.
Tell your friends about this place, and leave it to me to drop some incentives!  Let's break a record for 2018!


(4) In the future?...
-Been getting interesting suggestions and ideas.  I aim that by Valentine's Day, this place will be that much more reliable and robust.  Ziggy, Ari, Tess and Tara will be here, regardless of what happens.

Always remember:
