Definitely the right idea here as well.

I'm not sure what system you would or should implement, but I would certainly support it and upgrade to that tier again. : D

Long comment is long. If you decide to re-open request streams for Patrons, here are my thoughts: 1. Manage your available time: Think back to how much time you tend to have to stream on the day you would (typically) use for a request stream. Think back to (on average) how long you had to work on a given sketch in the past. If you only see yourself with an hour of time, and each sketch took you 30 minutes, then place a hard cap of 2 Patrons per month that can pledge to the request tier. Limit each patron to a maximum number of sketches in a year (say 2) to keep the slots from being monopolized. 2. Value your available time: Your work as an artist should pay WAY above minimum wage. The sketch tier should be valued at more than $10 a month of support. Consider putting the request tier at $20 or $30 per month, minimum. If you don't feel that re-opening Patron requests is viable in your current situation, consider instead Shaze's suggestion of allowing Patrons to vote on a monthly character/theme poll (the available options for which are set by you). If you're feeling adventurous, create a tier that allows Patrons to add a voting option to the next month's poll if they choose to.
