Reward Access Update (PLEASE READ)

Added 2020-06-22 19:16:43 +0000 UTC

Okay, firstly, I really am sorry for all of the updates this month. I hope you can forgive me while I'm figuring these things out.

I'm hoping to keep Patreon going for quite a while this time around, so I'm trying do my research on the best ways to get things done, figuring out what you guys would like to see in tiers (+ what I've liked seeing in other creators' tiers, etc.)

I know I've just made a post on how I had planned on doing my reward system - that being to keep an archive on google docs, but it's been pointed out to me that although you cannot copy or download from google docs, you can still screenshot things.

SO, I've spent the last 24hrs searching for a better solution. And I think I've found it.

GUMROAD.

I've seen this a couple of times on Patreon, but it hadn't occurred to me that I could upload stories there as well, in addition to illustrations.

So, here's how this is going to go: (Unless I come across some other pitfall) (Fingers fucking crossed).

To receive the reward files at the Patreon Tier price, make sure you are pledged during the month of the actual reward.
If you have pledged after said month and would like the previous month's(s) rewards, you can purchase them at a non-discounted price (to maintain Patreon's price and loyalty advantage) from gumroad.
Gumroad will have the $20 tier reward packs, and any/all bonus illustrations from the $25 tier.
Gumroad will not contain the global coupons for smashwords. (They renew every month, so you're not really missing anything if you pledge later).
This will also protect you guys as patrons who have been pledged early on for the content (So someone can't pledge much later and pay a one-time price, screenshot everything, and disappear).

Doing it this way, I can hopefully completely avoid scammers for the foreseeable future, while still offering past content to those who might be looking for it. Sorry again for so many updates. I hope you understand! Thanks again for the support.
