New pledge calculations, everyone stay cool
🕑 Added 2015-12-11 00:02:01 +0000 UTC So anyone closely tracking how much the creators they support are getting may have noticed a big chunk just went missing. I don't know if Patreon emailed everyone who pledges with this update but just in case they didn't or you missed it, the new numbers now reflect how much they're /actually/ making, meaning they don't add in people who make pledges but then their cards are declined, stuff like that. Also I think it means if you pledge something, it won't show up until the beginning of the next month?This doesn't change the milestones, but I suppose I should go in and update them to reflect these real dollar values. The only thing this really effects is how much money my parents think I make now. Maybe getting the pledge value back up to where it was should be a new milestone so I can show them my page again. :)
BTW I don't say this as much as I should but I want to thank everyone for all the support you've given the comic. I think of it every time I spend money now, seriously, like "I draw a funny comic and people like it enough that I can afford these grapes." It's amazing and I'm grateful. And grapefull.

That's weird; for me, Patreon groups everything together into one transaction.

I'm 39 years old and have spent 30 of those role-playing. If there is one thing I've perfected, its jury-rigged work around. 😃

That's a good tip. I had wondered why some people were supporting the comic with odd amounts, like X dollars and 12 cents.
Justaguy
Yeah, it was fixed by just adding a few cents to different transactions, so they don't read as identical. The issue seems to be primarily with master cards.
Dave Barrack
Ooh, that's a problem. That probably varies from bank to bank (or card to card) though, cause there are plenty of people that support multiple artists.
Justaguy
apparently if you pledge to 2 artists for the same amount one will bounce as a duplicate transaction since they're both charges to "patreon" going in within a few seconds of each other.

You do good work. That should be enough to be supported.

Ok... Calming down now... I was pretty excited there for a minute, but I've collected myself. :)

You are most welcome! The time, effort, and sheer creativity you expend to not only draw and ink your art but simply to dream up the story itself is amazing! I wish I could afford to donate more!

Yay grapes! :D
