Regarding the changes to Patreon fees (Patreon)

If you're not yet aware of the changes, you can read about them here:

So, like the rest of the internet, I'm deeply unhappy about this.

Part of me is hoping that Patreon will respond to the backlash by not changing their fees, but that's probably too much to hope for.

If Patreon does continue with the changes I'll decrease the pledge amounts slightly so that everything continues for you as it previously has (which will involve me doing maths! for the first time in years! this will be an experience!)

However, I can't do this for $1 pledges as that's the lowest amount Patreon will allow for pledges :(

I'm looking into alternatives -  Gumroad has a subscription service, and while it's not set up in the same way as Patreon, I could possibly send out a monthly collection of sketches + the wallpaper + information about the next stream via Gumroad. It's a backup plan, I guess :)

I've also set up a ko-fi page, for anyone who wants to stop pledging via Patreon but would still like to send me a few dollars occasionally (thank you very much!)

If you want to stop pledging I understand completely. Thank you for your support, you're amazing <333

Also, a few of you have increased your pledges recently, and I just want to say WOW thank you so much, that's incredibly kind of you! I'm honestly very honored, thank you for looking out for me in this time of Patreon confusion and upheaval ; - ;
*hugs*
