FAQ #05 - Can I pay you now and get the comics I want today?
🕑 Added 2018-05-10 13:45:08 +0000 UTCSometimes I receive inbox questions that might be in the interest of other patrons. So I decided to make a few of them public, along with the answer provided.

Q#05:
Can I pay you now with paypal and get my comics right away?
A#05:
That depends. New comics are released every 15th of the month. So if you pledge during the first days of a month, you'll be able to select and receive all other comics right away, but will need to wait until the Release Day if you choose to receive the ones released that month.
Also know that my comics are only available through Patreon.
The reason is that I used to sell these by paypal, but they closed my account on the basis that no obscene content could be negotiated through their system. I went looking for other alternatives and discovered that every webpayment system has that same disregard, being uninterested in having their share of what the XXX industry could be worth to them. That includes Googlepay, Gumroad, Amazon and many others.
So I had to move to Patreon, which is fine with that kind of content, providing me with a home I can trust.
Their system seems a little complicated to understand at first, but it allows me to continue my series of comics. That's why, currently, it's the only method of purchase of my stories.
Patreon works a bit different than most other webpayment systems. It's more like a fund backing system to allow me to keep producing comics at a steady rate.
If you're pledging for a $69 Collector category, you'll receive all current comics in the next reward wave and after that you can switch to the $10 Subscriber tier and keep getting the TWO new comics every month.

Yes. with the $5 tier you'll get a form to pick any comics from the gallery below and the link should be sent to you shortly after (Loyalty Treats are not-included in that list). Just notice that there are a dozen or so of the latest ones that are still in production so if you pick any of those, you'll have to wait until they're finished to actually read them. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1TgMkfgF5Mxg5Hk2Sj17b2qFPWdCjbPru

So If I pay for the lowest tier (for 1 comic) right now, Could I choose a comic released on august (which is my intention) and get it before the end of the month?

Aaaah thanks ! Patreon can be a little confusing !

Not really. Despite the common practice, Gumroad's TOS is very explicit about prohibition of adult content and other issues that make its use a dealbreaker for me.

Isn’t gumroad a viable alternative?
