Here's What's Gonna Happen...
🕑 Added 2024-08-25 11:56:32 +0000 UTCHello again and thank you for being a Patron this month.
As the title indicates, this entry is to forewarn you about what is about to happen.
Namely:
* Given the whole anniversary billing thing they're foisting onto people, I suspect the payment cycle for September and October may be the last time it's done the normal way. I know from November 2024, they're planning to have all new members who join a Patreon on the new system. But I don't know whether they've started enacting this anniversary/subscription billing thing already?
For yes, when the first working week of September arrives, I depart. Therefore:
I’m not making the same mistake I did last year when I was on holiday by un-publishing my account, because I had the rather nail-biting period of waiting for my account to be approved when I wanted to re-open it. And I lost my Founder’s Fee (so Patreon take a bigger chunk out of my earnings now, because their system thinks I started in 2023, rather than 2015/2016 when I originally did). 😢 I got lucky back then but I don’t want to push my luck, especially given how much more… stringent things have become since, if you know what I mean.
So I’ll be simply pausing my account, and make it pretty clear as such, both for Members and for the wider public. Yes. You've seen me do that before, right?
I was planning to write all this up tomorrow (Monday 26th) but a question I was asked today (Sunday 25th) made me do a double-take and address this now. (Again, this is one of the reasons why I plan on leaving this platform because it's going to get complicated with the anniversary billing thing in terms of who got charged and when and ... blah blah. I talk about it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/sign-of-times-110335165 )
Anyway, that's all. With just over a week left to go, I'm doing my best to get the darn comic pages finished in time before I leave. Please bear with me... there have been too many other things happening this month as is.
Also, because I can't be bothered making an entirely seperate post for it, here:

Once I'm home again in October, I will let you know if anything major comes from this, as well as other updates I catch wind of whilst I'm away. That's all. Sorry I don't have anything more concrete than this for the present.
Thanks for reading and for your support.
Yours Sincerely,
'Kamiduzaurus
