Kinda important update ($5 tier patrons, please read the last bit!)
🕑 Added 2021-09-04 15:03:28 +0000 UTCHello! I do feel a bit dumb for making an update post after only 2-3 days of launching it, but I feel like it's necessary. I was planning to wait the whole month and implement these changes then, but... there's really no need to wait, so I'll just get to it.
1. Exclusivity - My initial idea was that there would be no exclusive content on this page. And while I do still want that to be true, I feel like not having anything be Patreon-exclusive is kind of a dick move... If people want to spend their money supporting me, the least I can do is to make it worth said money. I'll do a bit of rebranding to make this easier to read (and write), but the "monthly" Patreon content from the $3 tier will be Patreon-exclusive going forward. By that, I mean the "5 caption per month (or whatever it is in that particular month)" will be available only on Patreon from now on. I might post some of it on DA for advertising purposes ("Hey, look what you're missing out on!"), but otherwise, it'll stay on here as an exclusive thing.
2. Speaking of which... I just realized how stupid I am lol Making captions on Patreon using someone else's art... even if it's legal (which I don't think it is), it's kinda immoral to make money by using someone else's work. Instead, I'll post these all at once as a sort of "shorts" compilation without any images. Btw, I didn't really specify the timing, did I? I already posted the link to the suggestion box, so... It'll be open for 1.5 weeks from when it was posted, so if you have any ideas, you have time until 11.09 to suggest stuff. After that, there'll be a poll present for a week, and after that, I'll get to work and post it when it's ready, probably around the 25-30.09 mark. Since there's not a lot of you guys here for now, I don't expect it to work flawlessly, even if there were more of you, I'm sure the poll would be full of ties and whatnot, so I guess I'll just have to wing it a bit until I get more patrons lol I already got a few ideas, but if you have your own, don't feel shy and suggest them, even if you have 5 or more, since, as I mentioned, the numbers aren't that big for now. (Which is to be expected, of course, don't want to sound ungrateful/entitled lol)
3. That's a big one! All patrons who have pledged $5 (or more) will get a one-time commission, and can choose one of three things:
- A short story (~500 words)
- A complete, chibi art piece (either during or post-TF)
- A rough, albeit more detailed sketch (only post-TF)
(Examples visible here)
It doesn't matter how long you've been pledging for or anything like that. You can pledge $5 for one month, get your free commission and then go down a tier, or you can upgrade to a $5 supporter for one month and then go back once your commission is done, it doesn't matter as long as you're in that tier for even a second. These will get posted on DA btw, so don't try anything too lewd. If you want, you can message me whenever you want to see if your idea works, if not, I'll just message you myself when I have the time. I'll try to do these in September, but if there's a sudden influx of new patrons it might not be possible. I'll go in chronological order in terms of pledging anyway, although knowing the request beforehand makes the whole process easier since I don't have to wait for a response.
Sorry if this thing is a bit tough to read, but I hope you enjoy the changes! If you have any ideas on how to improve this Patreon, you can send them too! ^^
