IMPORTANT Skyset Knights poll: PDF Downloads, Comic Update Type and Frequency (ends on MARCH 9th)
🕑 Added 2023-03-06 04:39:52 +0000 UTCThank you to everyone who voted in this week's poll! Here are the results for what I will prioritize:
- 1. More comic pages on the Skyset Knights site!
- 2. More character cast info!
- 3. NEW comic pages on Patreon / Fix up the links on the site (tie)
I have 3 very important follow-up questions that will be answered with this ONE poll because I don't want to overwhelm with too many polls / questions, and I'd like to get working on the site / cards / comics as soon as possible lol.
1. What kind of update schedule would you like to see for Skyset Knights?
I have a 160-page buffer plus about 500-600 more pages if we include the previous books' canon pages that need to be edited. This means whatever is chosen, it will be in batches until the time comes to choose another update schedule. Your options are:
- Daily (Weekdays)
- Sunday, Wednesday, Friday
- Once a Week
This schedule affects how many pages will go up per day (the more frequent, the fewer; once a week would be a much bigger batch to archive binge read) and how often you will be notified of Comic Updates. Speaking of...
2. How would you like to be notified of Comic Updates?
- Regardless of what is chosen, I will always be updating the Skyset Knights front page text and link with the newest page and typed info on what was uploaded. Easily updatable, but also easy to miss if you're not actively refreshing.
- The Men Plus Monsters Blog + its RSS Feed: Hosted on my main site, Men Plus Monsters, not Skyset Knights. Will contain other notifications, not just comic updates, but you can filter my blog by tag to see Comic-Update-only posts. I found that my blog generates a pretty nice-looking RSS feed, the only issue is that is isn't hosted on the Skyset Knights site. There WILL be a link to the blog and the RSS Feed on Skyset Knights' site though, should this be chosen. (the navigation will be called 'Updates')
- A dedicated Skyset Knights 'Updates' page: Hosted on Skyset Knights' site and accessible via the top and bottom-of-the-page navigation, this will be a separate page with text describing what comic pages went up on the site and when. It will only be about the comic and site's updates, and any crowdfunding or shop news directly related to it i.e. digital stuff, printed books, etc. It will be highly Skyset Knights concentrated, but it will also be something you need to refresh in order to see if there was an update.
note: There is no quick or sufficiently informative way for me to generate an RSS feed based off of the Skyset Knights site as-is (I have tried and I don't like how they came out, plus I'd rather have a first-party one I can actively control).
I only have time to do one of these, and I will not be able to change site links in the future, so choose wisely.
3. Would you be interested in downloads of chapters available in the shop + PDFs included at the current $10/month Patreon membership?
That question also goes with: Would you be willing to be a $10 Patron for PDF availability? I am considering digital rewards (download of PDFs of the individual Skyset Knights chapters) since I am sunsetting printing books beyond the ones for Kickstarter (it is too expensive and finances are halting a lot of my comic work). If there is a high enough demand, I will highly consider this - I am concerned about pir*cy, but if it means sustaining the ability to make the comics (given enough demand), I am willing to make PDFs available for people willing to support the comics.
I encourage comments with your thoughts and opinions on stuff like this because I'm not a mind-reader lol.
This is a multi-question poll and it will permanently affect how I run things - choose wisely :)
Thank you for reading, supporting, and participating~ Multiple votes allowed, ends on March 9th.
