So recently I did do a major update regarding my Tiers and Rewards: Specifically the Introduction to "Stacking". I wanted to make this post to help people understand and get a more clear idea of what I'll be doing from now on as well as making a system that's fair for everyone.
----------
Question: What do you mean when you say "Stacking"?
Basically it means that you're holding off on a reward for a particular month and letting it "Stack" with the following month. So say if you held off on this month's reward -- when you donate the following month you donate $5 for the following month giving you $10 in total!
Question: If I have the $5 tier, and elected to hold off on requesting anything for 7 months, I would in theory be able to request a reward worth the same as the $35 one?
Absolutely! This is based on your choice alone but you have to let me know via PMs or reply when I send out PMs during the beginning of the month. As long as you let me know your decision, I can keep record of it in my Spreadsheet.
Question: What happens if I don't reply to your PM during the beginning of the month regarding the Patreon Reward?
I understand a lot of people are pretty busy and at times are unable to respond to email on a monthly basis regarding a small simple sketch. In this case, "Support Dad" will be applied to Donators who do not respond to their Patreon Messages within 14 Days of receiving the message. Donators who do not respond will be given the assumption of only wanting to support Dad rather than wanting a Reward and will be categorized into the "Support Dad" option for that month's donation and future donations if the Donator is misses their Messages beyond 3 months. This allows the Donator to support my work without having to worry about checking their messages.
I want to give my love and care for all of those who support me so let me take care of you! :3
Question: What if I don't want to request a Portrait but still want to donate?
That's perfectly fine! :) If that's the case and you're a $5 Donator then I'll go ahead and apply the "Support Dad" option to your Donation rather than wanting a reward! :3 Say if I wanted to draw Bowser for one of my Patreon Showcases -- so I'd use the "Support Dad" donations towards that picture and give those Donators a special thanks along with the rest of the Patreon Donators (ex: This is a Patreon Showcase fueled by -Your Name- and my Patreon Donators!). While I thank my donators with my Patreon Showcases, you can exclusively have your name included in the post when choosing the "Support Dad" Option.
