I'm thinking of creating a new $4 tier for Mizu's side story and future BL [Boy's love] content, maybe even Girl's love drawings and forbidden stuff like mixing up pairings 😱 I guess it can serve as a place for content that most of my audience may not want to see. I want the main tiers to focus on Ellie and Grave, so this way it'll separate it at no extra charge.

I know people aren't comfortable with seeing those themes, so the only way to see it is if you "upgrade" to that tier. I draw straight stuff all of the time and I just want a break to do something else once in a while. Of course I'll still fulfill my obligations to the main tier, but this is just BONUS content that I personally want to see.

I actually cut out most of Mizu's story because it took too much of the focus away from Ellie and Grave, which made me sad because I put a lot of effort into it, but this way I can still do it at my own pace since it doesn't really have a bearing on the main story.

The only problem is what about people that want to stay subscribed to the $5 tier, but also want to be part of that new tier? I'm not sure what to do about that.

hmm you’re right. I don’t know how the tier system works on your end :(

you can't subscribe to two different tiers at once, so I'm thinking of maybe just making it available to the $5 tier but putting a warning cover so people can avoid it if they don't want to see it? or maybe uploading it only as an attachment so you have to download it to see it? it'll function the same as my plant tier where I have personal posts that I keep separate from the main tier content, but the $5 tier people still have access to everything.

I’m in too ❤️👍 Can you make another $5 tier that adds this additional content? So you can keep the current $5 tier but have the other one in case others don’t want to see it? Or is that more work? Don’t want to cause any stress 😬

This way sounds like it might be the simplest for you. Less work, plus you’ve made it available for those who want it and warned those who might not want to see it.

the problem is that i feel people are less likely to try the new tier out if it costs more, so I'm thinking of just making the permissions available to the whole $5 tier, but putting a warning on the content so you can opt out. I won't update it often, so maybe my $5 peeps won't mind?

Yikin35201

I certainly won’t mind 😉

ajoji_comic

actually, i might have misunderstood you. are you saying make a separate $5 tier in addition to the new $4 tier? maybe that's the way to go so I don't have to put as many warnings or worry about turning people off.

I'm thinking of maybe making a new $5 tier in addition to the new $4 tier so I can be more relaxed and people won't have to worry about accidentally seeing something they're not comfortable with. I would just have to manually give permissions to all the other posts, which might take an hour or more but it's doable.

They would be the same all-access, but the new $5 one would have everything you mentioned here too, so those that do not want to see it can keep their same pledge and those of us that do want to and still want all access can subscribe/pledge to the new tier. Hope that makes sense 😳 EDIT you wouldn’t really have to make a separate $4 tier yet until maybe you see how many pledges you get or feedback from the newer content - but it is totally up to you, I just love your stories and your art and will support whatever you decide to do ❤️

I'm very much in support of you drawing different and "alternative" or "forbidden" content! Especially if it helps you feel balanced. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing that tucked into the 5 dollar tier, either. I don't know exactly how it would work best for you, if a new $4 tier would be best or what. I just know I love your work and am happy to see you grow and succeed. 🥰

Thank you ^^ Im thinking of creating 2 new separate tiers so I can have more freedom to post whatever to those, just as a way for me to have more fun. I feel like sometimes i have to hold back in the main story because these alt ideas I have are not what people signed up for.

ajoji_comic

Maybe you are right, I can just test out another $5 tier and see how much interest there is in the new content =) thank you~

TinyNomz

I can understand that, especially given that it's what you do for a living. You NEED to have as much creative freedom as you can so that you don't get bored and burnt out on the main story. The extra/new tiers would give you space to stretch your creative legs, as it were. More power to you!

I wouldn’t mind seeing this on the main storyline at all.
