(Small) Update to Patreon
🕑 Added 2025-03-03 17:00:16 +0000 UTCHey everyone! So I've been thinking about doing a couple of changes to the way I handle Patreon stuff. For the longest time, the main sell of my Patreon has been that I post stories early on here. This is supposed to be just a week early, though there's plenty of times that it's taken me longer, or times where I just forget to upload the stories all together. These last couple of months specially, I have not uploaded anything to my public sites, only to Patreon. Not out of any sort of malicious reasons, mainly just because I'm a forgetful lil guy.
My main issue is that once I upload a story to the Patreon, I kinda forget that I have to upload it to other places. It would be much much more easy for me if I could just upload my stories on all of my sites at the same time all at once. Something which isn't possible if I have early stories as a reward.
This is why I will no longer be doing early stories for the Patreon. Starting soon-ish, whenever I upload a story to the Patreon, I will also be uploading it to my AO3 and FA. I've always believed that porn is a thing that (generally) should be free, which is why I wanna stop gatekeeping my stories, even if I'm not doing it intentionally. (not to mention how I have a kemono page so it doesn't matter that much really lol). This does mean that technically the 1$ tier will have basically no benefits, which I do feel sorry about. However, I do have a little bit of a plan so that the Patreon isn't 100% worthless.
1$ Tier Rework
Get all of CTFMeister's works: Sometimes I don't upload some stories to FA, sometimes I don't upload some stories to AO3. I will ALWAYS 100% upload stories to the Patreon. Neither of these things will happen very often, mind you. But if you wanna make sure to keep up with everything I post, this will be the best place to keep track of.
5$ Tier Rework
Exclusive discord channel: Get access to an exclusive discord channel in my discord where I'll be posting WIPs of fics I'm currently working on.
Polls and suggestions: I'm not gonna do these often. Or at least, I won't do them on a strict schedule like I did with the monthly polls. But there are some ideas where I would like some feedback and suggestions, so any time you guys would like to suggest stuff, you'll have to be 5$ or above.
Early access for prompt and commission submissions: Whenever I start doing prompts or commissions again, I will notify the patrons first. This doesn't necessarily mean I'll pick them over everyone else, but they will have a slight bit of advantage/priority
