Major Patreon Update! New Tier System & Rewards Coming November, 2020.

Hey guys, hope your month is going well and all.

With the recent ease in the global pandemic, I’m going to be returning to work full-time in the immediate future (we are working towards going back to full-time hours now). And appropriately, I’m going to have to lessen my work load a bit to adjust. 

I honestly didn’t think they’d be pushing to get back to full-time so quickly, but notices have been given and I’ve got to make adjustments accordingly. I hope you all can understand! 

I’m going to be editing/removing a few things, but also adding a few, and making some price adjustments to make things more affordable/accessible all around. 

Let me explain.

So firstly, I'm still going to be writing content that you vote on (should you choose to stay for the ability to vote), but I'm going to be releasing them to Smashwords, non-patrons the ability to purchase the stories for a higher price ($2.99) at a later date. Patrons will also receive a 10% off monthly global coupon for all Smashwords & Gumroad content. 

It will be one monthly story, and you will choose which kind of story it will be. (I.e. additional chapter, crossover standalone, new standalone, etc.) This way I don’t have to get rid off all the written options of previous rewards, but the workload won’t be as intense. It’ll be up to you to decide what you’re feeling that month! 

This is seperate from the D&D story.

As far as my fanfiction goes, This tier will also allow you to vote on the fandom I write for the month, but I will start posting them elsewhere. 

I'll be posting links to where I decide to post these stories (Most-likely Smashwords & maybe A03 (Archive of Our Own). (P.S. Any illustrations that I do for said fanfic will remain here on my Patreon (& on gumroad))

This will be a $3 tier, which will be the lowest.  

This tier will also include polls on ideas I have about written content, general interest polls, and WIP posts of all illustrations I'll be working on - including comic panels. It also still includes a 48hr heads up for when I open commissions.

The next tier will be $5. It will include the following:

• All previous rewards.
• A monthly theme poll for illustrations. One monthly illustration with multiple versions. Don't know if they'll be of fandom characters, or of my OCs, or of both! But this will be a fun way to mix up the kinds of drawings I do. 
• The ability to suggest characters (both OC and fandom) for me to draw. 
• Bonus Smashwords Content. I still plan on publishing bonus/behind the scenes chapters of stories and series here, to be published to Smashwords at a later date for a higher price.     

The next tier will be $15. It will include the following:

• All previous rewards.
• D&D Story.  (To be published on Smashwords at a later date for a higher price.)
• Any additional  Illustrations and all their versions. Additional illustrations may be random, or derived from stories on Smashwords, or derived from any fanfiction I work on.  
• Comic pages! This tier will grant you access to any and all comic pages I work on for the D&D story, or any other comic (short or long) that I decide to dabble in. (P.S. - any one-off illustrations for the D&D story will also be part of this tier.)

The next, and last tier, will be $25. This is mostly meant for super fans that already own just about everything on Smashwords, and are looking for a little extra perk. It will include the following:

• All previous rewards. 
• Access to all future Smashwords content. Meaning, you will receive files for all future released Smashwords content, so you don't have to buy them on Smashwords. Any published content will be emailed to you at the end of each month you are pledged. 
• 20% off all commissions (written & illustrated).
• The ability to suggest characters you’ve created for me to include in my stories. 

Additional Notes:

Rewards will still be posted to gumroad as a bundle. But moving forward, since I plan on having multiple versions of each illustration, I will also be posting individual packs for each illustration set.

Since I am adding a Commission Coupon to the $25 Tier,  I will be getting rid of the $35.

Rewards for October will STILL be what you’ve been voting on this month. Voting for the new November rewards will begin in October. 

You can change your tiers now if you want to get sorted, just remember that rewards for the new tiers do not start until November. Voting for said rewards will start in October. 

I’ve been slowly backing up my Smashwords content so that I can publish At least 3x a week (something to note for the $25 tier), and hopefully keep that up during my work schedule in addition to illustrating. Good thing about illustrating is that it takes far less concentration and energy to do than writing. 

NEW TIERS ARE UP! If you switch to the new tiers now, you will STILL receive October’s rewards for your respective tiers (that were voted on this month, next month.) 

As always, thank you so much for supporting me and I hope you continue to enjoy my content! If you have any questions about the transition, please feel free to ask them in a direct message or in the comments below.
