IMPORTANT TOPIC : REWARDS <3 (Patreon)

IMPORTANT TOPIC : REWARDS ( Long post - sorry!)

Goodmorning family!!! How are you? :)
[ PLEASE READ but DON'T reply here : reply via PRIVATE MESSAGE on PATREON or under the Main Topic ok FACEBOOK ]

Today I wanted to talk again about how rewards work on my Patreon. I already made a few LIVE streaming for you here but some of you may have miss it so here we go again.

My patreon is a platform that I created to offer you something more than you see on internet, a platform to keep everybody of us in touch with the person who's behind the cosplays you see : Me. Basically it's a way to support me if you feel to, in exchange of showing you exclusive \ premiere content, talking without filters about life in general, give you advices of anything you wish and posting my WIPS, making live streamings only for you and keep ourselves connected in the world. Then of course, becoming a mini community like an united group of passionate artists sharing the same interests! :)

It also happened several times I had dinner with some of you and I'm so happy for the relationship we have created between eachother here. Everytime I meet one of my Patrons, I always give prints for free. And none of the things I mentioned are promised in the rewards.

These REWARDS seems to be a problem for some people and I trully apologize for not being always able to send them every month in time. The patrons to manage supporting me are more than 220 and the MAIN PROBLEM is how BAD Patreon is with the private messages system. No notifications, no option to send photos or videos via PM there which makes everything very complicated.

SOOOO ... I created and gave something more than Patreon itself : THIS GROUP.
A group where you are able to talk, post, ask, require, and anything you wish regarding PATREON! <3

And since I know that many of you don't care about rewards, I can't contact every single one of you every month to ask ''Hey! What rewards do you wish this month? ''

If I was living only of this, I would be able to stay 24\7 on my computer to manage everything but you understand I have 4-5 events per week in every farest corner of the world and for example today I touched my bed for the first time after more than 2 weeks and a half of tour.

I also received a mail today saying something like '' Your Patreon is a double edged sword. While it offers a very great insight for your fans into your daily lives, the people that doesn't get a response from you on their mail/patreon and/or their rewards will get very peeved that you're out playing Pokemon Go, or drinking. '' .

Are we really getting to the point where I have to justify how I spend the only 3-4 hours of my spare time every 2-3 days of work for not replying to some messages? I think this is a bit too far with the life I'm doing and I'm already working hard to reach you all with all the rewards.

Or some complaints related the fact that some people pledging never got accepted on this group on Facebook when the main problem is that they have different names from Patreon to Facebook and I can't recognize them if they don't specify me what their FB name :/
PLUS : Some people even stop pledging and they kept staying in the group, by hey! That's not a problem anymore, right? :)

The only thing I need is YOU to tell me which rewards you're missing because if you decide to stay in silence and then complain... that's really not supporting me as well. <3

So please understand, I do really want to make all of you happy but I also need you to tell me how! ahahah :D

In this moment I'm making a list of all the DIGITAL AUTOGRAPHS, Google Hangout stuff and Personalized selfies. If you still miss that, let's find a way to see how we can make it work.

I HOPE THIS MESSAGE WILL REACH ALL OF YOU, I do this because I trully care about all of you and I love you a lot!
Without you nothing would be the same and I want this family to stay UNITED and stuck together as always.

You Leon <3
