Hello Sommeliers! I hope you're all doing well 💜

As mentioned in a post last week, I've been a little concerned to see that many people did not send in their monthly request and that, unfortunately, I can't keep track of all who do and don't. In fact I was wondering if the requesting system is faulty and, for example, not everyone feels comfortable sending a DM?

Furthermore, the more the page grows the more I realize that not even I would be able to keep up with all personal requests, in the hypothesis of dozen(s) of people messaging me at once...

This is why I came up with a different idea for the monthly requests, starting from February: a monthly poll at the start of the month where you can choose one among different themes, both SFW and NSFW, and 4-5 bases that fall under that theme, posted towards the end of the month.

Obviously, the poll and the poses would be viewable by you Sommeliers only (or any higher tier in the eventuality I make one in the future) and they do not affect the monthly pack benefit in any way!

I have two pending requests in my DMs from last week, and for the sake of fairness up until now I will draw and post them this week.

Below is a poll to let me know what you think about this change, and I encourage you to vote on it, before everything goes into effect! In the case you preferred DM requesting, feel free to downgrade your subscription, I don't want to tie anyone to anything they don't like!

I do agree with the idea of the new system you set up because I do fear the amount of requests you would get would be overwhelming to finish overtime, it would also be a good way to interact with the community imo

The new system sounds fine! An alternative suggestion is set up a Google form/free survey where people could submit requests. But you would maybe still run into the problem of being overwhelmed! Maybe the personal request form is for a new higher tier only. Just ideas!

As happy as it made me to see the page grow I also started to have this lingering fear to not live up to everyone's expectations/requests, so yeah thank you for also taking it into consideration 💜

I wouldn't do a Google form for the sole reason that I'd rather keep everything tied to Patreon! Polls seem good here anyway. And thanks for the suggestion for the future!!

I like the sound of the new system! I wasn't actually sure HOW to send the request and definitely didn't want to possibly be a pain sending a DM ^_^; But the new system also does sound like it will be a healthier option for you if you continue to get more patrons.

I prefer the poll option but I think having DM options as in, "Hey I would like X pose, can you add it to the poll?" Would be a good way to do it. I chose the sommeliers tier to support this patron and have all options available to me but I have so much going on in my life there are gonna be many months where I just don't take full advantage of every single reward (like the DM requests).

Actually I had set an automated welcome message to explain how the requesting worked, did that never go through? 😔 Either way I think this will make things easier for both me and all of you 💜

Hmmm I'm afraid that would create favoritisms that I'd rather avoid... Tho, the group chat is available for any sort of suggestions! And I was thinking about readding "popular" answers that didn't win the poll on a certain month! Either way, thank you for choosing the highest tier despite all the things you have going on!! I hope the polls can make it easier for you to use all benefits 💜

the new system would be helpful in preventing burnout as ur patreon grows imo! an alternative would be to have a limited slot tier, for example 3 members only at max, that can submit specific requests. which would be up to u ofc! 🖤 also admittedly i hadnt sent a request when i joined last month since i couldnt find any instructions on it. wasnt sure if DMing was an option to ask. so i kinda just waited to see if thered be a monthly post for us to request under haha regardless, ty for all the hard work u do!! (:

You’re the second person who told me so, so I guess the automated message with instructions on requests upon joining really never went through. I’m sorry 😞 A limited slot tier sounds like a nice idea, might implement it in the future!! Thank you for the support 💜
