Pausing Billing in January
🕑 Added 2021-12-28 20:39:39 +0000 UTCHi there, I hope you're having a great holiday season. I wanted to post to let you know I'm pausing billing in January to give myself a minute to think about how I want to handle this Patreon moving forward.
Let me just say, first and foremost, *THANKYOU* for backing me here. It means so much to me. Part of why I want to rethink this Patreon is because I feel like you, the people who are actually supporting me with real earned actual cold-hard cash, are the one's getting the worst experience of my work. I put a lot of time and effort into creating diary comics and strips that I post online for free, but I'm not finding myself capable of putting the same amount of effort into creating the Patreon-exclusive rewards and content that I've promised. I feel like I'm taking your support for granted, and I don't want to do that anymore. I want for you to have the best experience of my work possible. You're the ones who care enough to put money on the table, and I recognize that.
I need to decide where to go from here. I sometimes think I should remove all reward tiers except "monthly support" and let this account operate kind of like a Ko-fi tip jar kind of thing, and other times I think I should dial back on the comics I make for free elsewhere, and really lean into creating quality exclusive content here.
I would be curious to know what you would prefer, or if you even mind about what my levels of content creation here have been. I won't restart billing until I've figured out a game-plan I can stick to.
For those backers who are supporting me at the Scotch-Egg comics subscription level, I am still making new minicomics that I will send out in the next month or so. Again though, I won't restart billing until things are sorted.
For those backing me at the friendly support level, I will continue to cross-post new comics here as I create them.
Thankyou again for supporting me!
Mike

Yep. I agree. Am here to support you in creating stuff. Not looking for any exclusive content or anything extra.

That’s great to hear, thankyou as well

I agree with James, just happy to support your work. No need to burden yourself with trying to create additional work on top your already high output.
Mike Dawson
That is amazing, thankyou.

I am cool with the idea of being an actual Patron - helping support the creation of new content, not exclusively for me, but new Mike Dawson content, period.
