Free Books Sent! (Patreon)

Hi all!  I just sent out the free books for the month of August.  (there were 10 free copies given this month, wow!)

Just wanted to note a minor point of clarification to those who bounce up and down levels of donation, or cap their donations, or other things.

I'm tracking rewards on two tracks.  Patreon recommends not sending anything out until the months donations are processed.  But I don't like doing that for the request pages, and since things are on a two week cycle it would feel painfully slow.  So the voting, request pages, early gallery access, CYOA access, exclusive gallery access, all that stuff isn't delayed.  You just get it when you sign up, and requests are done in the next set (unless were talking like the day before it's released or something)

Buuuut, due to people being people, the monthly rewards (Namely the free books), are sent after the months payments are processed, and calculated according to the "how much money did you actually send this month" metric.  Rather than what you signed up for.

This doesn't affect 90% of you at all.  But some people hop around, or sign up for $10 and then cap their donations so it doesn't actually get payed, in which case I just add up the $ for the month and send rewards accordingly.  So if you signed up for the $10 level but only actually sent money to make it to the $5 level, I'll send the $5 rewards.

Sorry to do this and get into the nitpicking on the money =/  But as soon as you set up a system, there's someone who tries to game it.  Hey, I get it, I usually Am that person.  But just remember this isn't like, your cable company or a store where you're optimizing coupon use or something something.  This is sort of the digital equivalent of sitting on a street corner playing music for donations =)
