Big patreon changes PART 2

HEY whew sorry for putting up that big update post and then running off for like a week!! i'm home now and wanted to answer some questions here in a separate post, to make sure everyone will see em. i appreciate the feedback, it helps a lot to know everyone's thoughts!
TIER PRICES
some of you guys were concerned about the NSFW tier prices! to clear some things up, currently it IS possible to limit your pledge amount to only the first charge (meaning you'd only be paying $10 at the end of the month total instead of the $30 for the $10 tier) (because I charge 3 times a month) (it's CONFUSING, see why i want to switch to a monthly one-charge??? lol) so YES, if you're limiting your monthly pledge to only one or two charges in the current $10 tier, the $25/month change would be an increase. it's a decrease in price if you're currently allowing all 3 charges.
i'm absolutely open to ideas on how to balance this out a bit more. i was considering having finished NSFW art in a lower tier, and requests/polls for the NSFW art in a higher tier? so you could pledge lower if you only wanted to see the finished art, but also have the option to pledge higher and get a say in what would be drawn each month. this would make it easier to allow finished NSFW art to be available with a lowered pledge amount.
in the last post's tier preview i put all NSFW in one tier (the highest tier) so people who weren't interested in NSFW could opt out entirely. this was suggested by some patrons a little while ago, but it would require the pledge amount to be the highest of the tiers.
NSFW CONTENT
if you haven't seen iggy's giant [redacted] but have always wanted to, i've got some good news. after the revamp, i will happily include my other OCs to be chosen for the monthly NSFW art! i love mitch and jonas to death but sometimes it does get a LITTLE old drawing them and only them for the NSFW for years HAHA. i plan to make an OC page for quick info about my characters in part for this feature.
MERCH GIVEAWAY - INTERNATIONAL?
YES part of the reason i want to do the patreon merch giveaway is to give international readers a chance to score some LE stuff. because i know shipping prices can be wack.
WHEN'S THIS HAPPENING AGAIN?
the sooner the better (for me, my mental health, my wrist, my neck, my back, my fdsghs, and my crack). i'm aiming for January or February 2020. not sure if that's too short notice tho?? i have no idea haha. and this revamp would take place BEFORE Long Exposure is completed. LE probably has another 4-6 months. or more? i have a really hard time predicting how long chapters will take so... don't quote me on that lol.
let me know if you guys have any more questions, concerns, etc, or if it all sounds good so far! thanks!!

Will this finish LE for good, I seen you said you will still draw them some? And will are pledges me canceled or do we just need to change to another tier/ will it charge us for the one we are closes to?

Protect your fdsghs plz.

So I know you release print versions of each chapter, but any chance you’ll do a huge print volume that collects all the chapters together once LE is completed? (I’m hoping it’ll include the mini comics and the NSFW page too). I would pay good money for a one or two huge edition print collection of the whole comic to have on my shelf!!!

I really like the lowered finished NSFW, I actually know a few other patrons that like that idea too as we cannot afford the $25 a month.

"i was considering having finished NSFW art in a lower tier, and requests/polls for the NSFW art in a higher tier? " => totally open to this. For those who don't want NSFW, is it possible for you to propose the same but with the option no nsfw ? or is it too much complicated I wonder. Or a little higher tier for those who wants NSFW compared to those who don't want to. Like Level 1 = no nsfw ; L2 = finished nsfw ; level 3 = nsfw + requests. I don't know if I make any sense ><

I like the finished nsfw in a lower tier and influence on the nsfw in the higher tiers. I’ve also seen creators on here have two tiers at the same price, one with nsfw and one without, and all the same content otherwise! You obviously deserve to be compensated for your work, so I don’t mind paying more for nsfw, but it’s just an idea for people who want more content but don’t want the nsfw

i like the idea of the finished nsfw being on the lower tiers. While i will miss being able to pitch in on ideas I'd be satisfied with still seeing the finished product. I sadly can't up my budget to the 25$ tier as i currently support 15 other patrons with Mars making it 16.

i THINK they would be locked. i'd have to go into each post individually and change them, so it would be easier to just repost old stuff into the new tiers. which is a good idea so thank u!!!

Thanks for the clarity!
Mars your mind I love these tier ideas
BasilonIce
Sounds like a plan, my stan!
Will previous posts of different tiers be changed to the updated tiers? I'm worried previous posts will be locked (ex. NSFW 10-30/mo locked from 25/mo tier) and I wont be able to see them
I don't see any reason why Jan/ Feb change would be short notice, it's actually pretty good for that sort of info. The ideas you have for the new pledges sound a lot easier to navigate for patrons, and more importantly you.
As someone who has seen, and drawn, and written about Iggy's giant [redacted] I feel like it's my duty to preach the good word about rolling up onto the NSFW tier. It's worth it.
