A Coronavirus Update
🕑 Added 2020-03-18 14:07:10 +0000 UTCA bit late to the party for this, but yeah lets talk about the thing everyone's sick about hearing, the Coronavirus.
I know I know, I don't want to even talk about it too, but I got to as well...it will impact me.
On the Patreon side of things, I have had regulars inform me they won't be able to pledge for much longer as the virus is also impacting them whether its cut hours at work, working/staying at home, financial fears or worse case, they have the virus.
And that is totally understandable, I'm not at all pointing blame, health and commitments like life should always come first.
That said, as Patreon is my only income its going to be a rough time for me as well, as I estimate my monthly payout is going to be cut in half, maybe even more. I do have a few options to help support myself till this whole crisis ends, but unfortunately those options do not have guarantees, such as suspending the debt I pay every month and reopening commissions outside of Patreon (A move I really don't want to have to do plus I dunno if many folks will have commission money to spare but if it comes to it, it comes to it.)
As for art and fanfic updates, those should be business as usual. I will continue to work on my own projects, outstanding commissions and yes, Donator's Rewards. Figures as soon as I finally start to get on-top of Patreon Rewards, the world has to come to an abrupt end, haha. XD
Jokes aside, and I will not at all judge you in any way, but if you are pledging $5 or more could you maybe give me a head's up if you intend to end your donation before April or during April? This is just so I can plan ahead with an idea of how low my payout might get next month and make plans in advance to prepare for it.
To reassure, if you stick around, art and (hopefully) fanfic uploads will continue as normal.
If you simply cannot spare the funds due to the crisis, once again that's totally fine and understandable. <3
Stay safe my donators! Wash your hands, avoid gatherings, and let's all get through this together!
Those sunny days will come back to us! <3
