Gar1onriva Patreon Changes Next Month
🕑 Added 2020-01-22 14:08:38 +0000 UTCHelllllo Rivans.
Last month I posted a long thing about changes I was proposing for this Patreon; the rewards and the presentation, mostly. Since then I've been brainstorming and designing things. I'd like to share with you what I've got and present one last chance for feedback before I implement it some time next month.
Tier Rewards
After extensive thought and planning, as well as discussion with patrons and other fans, I think I've got my new lineup of rewards, as well as their new names.
$1 - Rivan Tier
Access to the Patreon Feed AND ability to vote in the monthly First Impressions and Top 5 votes.
$3 - Elma Tier
An exclusive role on the official Gar1onriva Discord server AND all the rewards of the previous tier.
$5 - Minun Tier
The password for all current and past Main Series (Season 1 and 2) PokeSins episodes AND all the rewards of the previous tiers.
$10 - Plusle Tier
The password for all current and past Exclusive (Season 3) PokeSins episodes AND all the rewards of the previous tiers.
$15 - Touka Tier
Two or more short stories a month, written by me based on prompts from patrons, totalling at least 5,000 words AND all the rewards of the previous tiers.
$25 - D.Va OR Jeffery Tier (Which do you prefer?)
A monthly private gaming session with me, lasting at least an hour, on a mutually agreed game and time AND all the rewards of the previous tiers.
$50 - Tabby Tier
A monthly private voice/video chat with me, lasting at least an hour, at a mutually agreed time AND all the rewards of the previous tiers.
I was seriously considering trying the Patreon merchandise program that they're running, but after crunching the numbers it is a massive rip-off. The additional costs to creators, regardless of whether anyone signs up to it, are just too high to consider.
Each reward will be referred to by its tier name in the future, noted further by their character mascots. I made a whole selection of tier icons (visible at the top), but I chose these ones due to their relevance to the associated reward and/or how much I like the art.
Because both D.Va and Jeffery can work with multiplayer gaming - and I like both icons - I'd like to know which you prefer, whether you're a $25 patron or not.
To give you some idea what my writing is like, I'll be posting a couple of stories to be available for everyone. I also intend to put them on my website in the near future. To remind you, I have a degree in Creative Writing and really love writing.
I mention about 'prompts from patrons'; this means that any $15+ patrons can suggest words, phrases, quotes, feelings, devices, topics, settings, or whatever to be added to an ongoing 'pool' of story ideas. Or you can just sit back and see what I can come up with all on my own.
The final changes will be coming into effect starting in March.
I hope you like the ideas and designs I've come up with. Check back soon for a couple of stories to hopefully whet your appetite for my writing.
Please leave your thoughts and feedback, either as a patron or not, and whether any of the tier changes are tempting you to pledge/upgrade.
Thank you for taking the time to read.

Why would copyright be a problem?

What systems are you able to play on?

Jeffery for me. Hopefully the tiers work out well!

Personally I think Jeffrey is better because it's more channel related, but I can see why people would disagree. Time for you to get featured as someone who patreons well again!

I'm liking these reworked tiers, and as someone who also enjoys creative writing, I'm interested to see what stories you come out with. I don't really have any preference on what name the $25 tier takes.

I reckon that the D.Va Tier suits the $25 reward better. Looks like a nice setup.
