Only do custom gifs if I can share them on the Patreon. That way, all the patrons get some new content out of it.28
Do "before and after" gifs but with a simple dissolve, no morph. The morph effect complicates things a LOT!5
Do a regular lottery draw thing where just a few of you get a custom gif. I see problems, but maybe we could make it work.3
Post a potential "after" gif and offer TL patrons a chance to do a matching "before" pic. You'd decide if the results are public.1
Start a whole new "elite" tier for custom gifs. I'd only do this if I was sure existing TL patrons were OK with it! 11
Drop the custom gifs and just offer a new, even better TL perk. But what would that be? (Your suggestions welcome!)6

OK, so I'm just about caught up with everybody's Tight Leather tier gifs, and a solid week of doing this has shown me that it just isn't sustainable. I've been so busy creating the private gifs that I haven't had time to work on anything else, including new stories or the gifs I'd share here on my Patreon. The custom gifs have basically become a full-time job and when I break it down I'm probably earning like a buck an hour. It's been suggested to me that I start a new tier for the custom gifs, starting at $20 or more, but I really don't want to do that. Having introduced them as a perk for people in the $10 tier, I'd feel cruddy about raising the price on them. But something's gotta change, I can't go on like this.
So, a poll. Here are some options I'm considering, and it would be very helpful if you'd vote or comment to let me know what you think is the best path moving forward.
