State of the Patreon Update - some good news!
🕑 Added 2020-04-20 12:09:22 +0000 UTCWhile home life is still a little unpredictable (my job got its SBA loan but my wife's did not, throwing all their plans into disarray), I wanted to update you on some (I hope) good news about the Patreon!
44% of you have filled out the survey linked above. While there is still time to vote before the 26th (and I encourage you to do so because there is still much for me to make decisions on), I feel safe in making some decisions at this point based on overwhelming feedback.
First, as much as I love Didi and had some places to go with the comic that I was excited about, it is clear that many (many) of you don't feel that way just yet. So I must announce now that I'll be retiring Didi for the immediate future. We still have a couple pages to post, so you'll see some updates for a bit.
But that doesn't mean you should expect fewer comic pages each month (not yet at least)! Because something else that was overwhelming in the survey results was how much so many of you enjoy and came for The Game. So, even though it is more expensive than Didi, for as long as I can all $5+ donors will be getting a new The Game page each month as soon as they are ready! This will start in the earliest with May.
But that's not all! Many of you also voiced the desire for more stories more frequently. So I'll be mixing things up there as well! Every month, for $1+ donors, I'll be doing my best to post some new prose each week for everyone. This will likely be between Barbara Lustra and the plot-driven version if Pleasure Cruise. $5+ donors will also be getting collected PDFs of these two as I update them (Barbara Lustra is taking extra time for me to adapt to that since I am editing an existing public domain story and my file contains all of the remaining unedited story that I need to chop out for the PDF export). I hope to have a new story posted before the end of the month and the process figured out fully for May.
But wait, there's more! You may have noticed that I posted earlier about a project erosarts has been working on. Well, that's not all erosarts has been doing - he and I have also been working towards launching a Kickstarter for Single Blonde Genie Issue #2! We were hoping a separate crowdfunding project would allow us to move more quickly to complete the issue, but in today's climate we're no longer certain of that. We may still launch it later this year as things change, but for now all $10+ donors will get unfinished previews of SBG #2 pages each month! I'm very excited about where SBG is going, and hope to have more clear plans for its future soon.
At this time I don't yet have anything new for $20+ donors figured out, but I am working on it! Certainly let me know what you'd like to see!
I know that for many of you supporting me during these times is literally a sacrifice, and I can't tell you how thankful I am for your support. While I continue to be fortunate to have some stability in my life, I want to do all I can to share with you how appreciative I am. I hope some of this will be bright spots for you every month.
Don't forget to go vote so I can continue to serve you all best, and as always - thanks for reading!
