Poll for new Fidget Fiend benefits, and changes to Commission pricing
🕑 Added 2024-08-20 00:45:09 +0000 UTCHi Fidgeters!
It's been a while since we had a town hall-esque post, and I have a few different points to discuss today.
The first is the subject of this poll: I've been trying to think of new rewards to add for Fidget Fiends (my highest tier of patrons), and I've decided to ask if anyone would be interested in me posting unfinished chapters of upcoming stories each month or so.
Note that these would be unfinished chapters, meaning that there will likely be missing paragraphs, unresolved plot points, a ton of typos/notes to myself/etc., and various other oddities that aren't present in my finished, polished works. Also note that these chapters will of course contain spoilers, because most of the unfinished stories I'd post would be polished up and released to the early-access patrons sometime in the following few months.
I'd also create a Fidget Fiend-exclusive Discord channel so that you can discuss the chapters and even make suggestions on these stories before they're published.
So, in the poll, please note your thoughts on this idea, and if you have any other ideas, feel free to put them in the comments as well. I'll probably let this poll run for the next two to three weeks to give everyone time to respond.
For Early-Access fidgeters, nothing will change. I've been slowly increasing the number of months of exclusivity for Early-Access fidgeters (it's currently up to four months) to try to increase the benefit you receive from your patronage, and I'll probably continue to slowly increase your exclusivity into the future as well. Thanks as always to all of you for all of your support.
The second thing to discuss today is commission pricing. I'm happy to have brought back commissions, and I think if anything they've been a little too successful so far; I'm incredibly grateful for all of the interest, but at this point the demand for commissions has become too high for me to keep up with. I write commissions in between my other stories whenever I have some extra time, but at this rate the wait list has piled up to the point that it's becoming unfair to those of you currently waiting.
So, as of now I'm no longer accepting new commissions, and once I finally catch up with the list, I plan to significantly increase the price of commissions to try to keep demand for them a bit more manageable for myself.
For those of you I've already said were on the waiting list, no need to worry - you're still on the list, and the price will be the same it's been so far. I'll reach out as soon as you're next in line.
Thanks to everyone for reading all of this and for being awesome, and as always, please do message me (or post in the comments here) if you have any thoughts/suggestions/etc.
Cheers,
Fidget
