Patreon Updates
🕑 Added 2019-10-18 16:54:44 +0000 UTCAlright.
The Patreon page has been changed/updated.
New tiers, new goals, new direction.
We're heading into the conflict zone of the Sovereign-Verse as the war becomes ever more visible.
The old tiers will still function, and will not be deleted. They're just unpublished. You're welcome to remain as those if you so choose.
*Post Edit clarification:
1: The books normally stop on Patreon where it hits a critical juncture. I'm sure you all love me for that. :)
The Administrator Tier will progress 2 chapters beyond that normal stop point.
The Guardian Tier will progress 4 chapters beyond that normal stop point.
In this way I insure the original $10 tier remains exactly as it was. It loses nothing and remains the same. I'm merely adding things -beyond- it now.
2: There is the possibility that 4 months would be a second pin. 6 months a third. 8 months a fourth. Unsure at this time, but it's a possibility.
3: Old Tiers will continue to receive the perks they had. They will not get the new ones.

I normally don't respond to things like this... but I feel I should. The general and CC2 chapters are up for the sake of being up. We've been updating AntiHero and Remnant 2 more simply because they're going to be released much sooner. Once Monster's Mercy (Antihero) goes live we'll be moving to the General chapters and CC2 chapters. Sorry to see you go, but do what you feel is best Michael.

Sadly, I joined the $10 tier for the chance to see early work (like Survivor). Since I'm seeing now seeing other experimental things being locked behind the $50 wall (The General), and we aren't getting early chapters (CC1), I am no longer interested. I didn't mind the early chapters cutting off before the end of the book. I don't mind higher reward tiers with new benefits (pins, Live Writing). But despite what you said her, the reality is that you have changed things. I'll be moving on.

Love the flavour text's. good job on them
William D. Arand
Yeah, it'll take some doing to track it all down. It's an annoying system. Link anything you find here and I'll go fix it.

I know the changes are recent, but dont forget to look at the older posts, and see if they also needed updated. Example, one of the recent Anti-Hero chapters, the omnibus epologues, and covers are things that are locked, for the new tier set.

damn.. choices.. I usually stop reading at that critical point on purpose.. because I know I'm getting the book when it comes out... I get all the books as soon as they come out... So Administrator is a waste... but also the only way to get a pin....I want a pin.... such an expensive pin....I've been at the $10 since the beginning, any chance of one pin a year for them? no?? FINE!!

Thanks for the clarification!
William D. Arand
Thanks. More or less just trying to keep the $10 and below where it was for the most part. Didn't want to take anything away. Just added a few things.

Seems like a good idea on the new tiers. The art for the new tiers is also quite good

Shit, gonna need to wait till payday to get the 50 tier
William D. Arand
Old Tiers will keep their old perks. They will not receive the new perks. Though I'll update the new tiers to include the character sheet item
J B
Will the 'hidden' levels continue to get their prior level of perqs? IE, the old $10 level also was supposed to get character sheets, plot development, etc. Or is it effectively a minor attaboy for having supported you early, but other than the title it'd be the same as the current $10 "Moderator" level?
William D. Arand
More at the end. So I normally cut books at a critical point. The moderator will still cut at that point. The Administrator and Guardian will go past that. The two new tiers are meant to be for those who really want more than the normal.
Kenneth Darlin
Ok, so can you elaborate on how that works? Will guardian and administrator just get more chapters at the end of a run before publishing or more chapters a week?
William D. Arand
Yup. 1-2 at the NPC 9-10 at the Guardian. The Moderator tag will stop a book where I normally did. The Guardian and Administrator tag will go beyond.
Kenneth Darlin
I just ask because personally I’m not as interested in the pins or my name in the book but am very interested in early chapters...
Kenneth Darlin
So at the $50 level you get 8 chapters ahead of the base level??
