Content

Hey everyone!

So, a lot of colleagues and some Patrons of mine have suggested that I restructure my Patreon content to avoid burn-out. The current idea being tossed around is cutting back to one pin up and one comic a month so that I can experiment with other content/ longer form story telling (ie comic strips, webcomics, Paycomics, more Visual Novel work with CinSwitch which would all still be posted to my Patreon) But as always, you're my Patrons, and none of this would be possible without you, and frankly I'm terrified of making any changes to what has been working well so far.

So I'd like to take a poll to gauge interest in restructuring. Please vote "Yes" if you'd still support me if I cut back on the voted content to focus on original work, or "No" if less content per month would be a deal breaker.

You could literally switch to only making paycomics that you update once every two months and you'd still have my support, Mira! 🫡 (that might just be me though lol) Whatever is best for you, boss lady! Hope your recovery from surgery has been going well :) ❤️

I realize I can't speak for everyone, but I'm assuming many of us are here because of the voice you bring to your work. If getting less of our input means getting more of that voice, that's very much in "small price to pay" territory.

Quality content deserves quality time. It's simple math!

Also cinswitch is doing more games? 👀

You’re a very talented artist and a wholesome storyteller. As a trans woman myself, your comics help me to feel great and keep going with my own transition. Whatever you choose to do, take a break and recover from your surgery, or even experiment with longer pay comics, I will support you. Thanks for letting us all know. Have a great day!

Chanclancha

Yeah, take care of yourself! YOU HAD BOOB SURGERY!!! But in all realness, you’re one of the very best artists I follow in part because you put so much time and effort into your art. Get some rest!!

TJBraddock

Delayed gratification often leads to the best made product, so we're with you all the way, Mira. 👍

TashaTheWitchQueen

Whatever you need Mira, to cut content back, take a long break, we’re here to support ya! 💖

Smoke Midlands

100% behind whatever you decide to do to avoid burn-out Mira

KDhynamo

We are indeed! And Mira will continue to be a massive help to the team going forward!

it wouldn't be a deal breaker, but less voted content would make it less fun, but since I've been hit with burnout before, please don't burn out

Mars Shadow

I'll be completely honest, I love your content, but the voted ideas are the big draw for me. Seeing ideas brought to life by your pen were what brought me here. However, that shouldn't come at personal expense. I'd have to actually see how any change plays out to make a decision, but whatever happens, I'm sure it's the right choice for you.

Sad Dragon

Oh wow! Again, quality content.

Ash

Tbh I’m eager to see your content no matter what! So no it ain’t a dealbreaker!

I have mixed feelings about this. I like the current layout because it gives more opportunities for people to get their ideas selected. The Discord gets a lot of buzz at the start of the month due to people coming up with new concepts. I would be willing to give the new system a shot although I think it would be a good idea to have some policies in place to ensure people have a fighting chance? For example, maybe the winner can abstain from entering a suggestion next month? That being said, it is also important to look after you health and wellbeing too. If this change helps you to continue delivering great stuff then I say go for it. I know you won't disappoint regardless of what you choose.

That Guy Imortal

I think it's clear that the amount of content put out doesn't mean we'll support you any less! You've been outputting such an insane level of quality for a while now, and I've been uber happy to support you, as have others, but your mental health, and just health in general, should come way before your art, and if your friends feel cutting back on the amount of work you do to avoid complications that may arise in the future, while you also get to work on more content you'll enjoy doing for yourself, it's definitely worth a shot.

I would love to see more longform comics! If that means a cut back on voted content, then so be it.

Actrus

I'll honestly would love so much a longer comic about Sala University Sport team and Coach Bingham new pool project!

Texbot

Side note, I think this poll has gotten more votes than any other poll on this Patreon, and it’s overall pretty one sided in the best way.

Katherine

Do what's right for your own sanity first, your art second. You have brought me so much joy, I will always support you!
