Patreon Update! (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone has been having a nice February! I also hope you all had a Happy Valentines Day, whether it was with a significant other, friends, or even just using it to have some quality time with yourself <3

February has been a lot busier for me than expected, but rest assured, that the latest chapter is on track to be released by the end of the month. 

However, I want to let you all know that I will be taking a break during the month of March! With January and February being busy for me, I have to catch up on some other things that doesn't involve writing. Sorry about that, but I will be back for April! During March, however, I will still be doing a couple of posts, including another story prompt.

Additionally, I want to state that I will be making a change to the content that certain tiers receive. To clarify, I will be making some content that was available for $1 AND $3 patrons exclusive to only $3 patrons. I realized that when increasing the benefits for patrons in the $5 tier, that I had promised some things that would be exclusive for $3 patrons that I ultimately ended up giving to $1 and $3 Patrons.

I think I unconsciously did this because I wanted to be more equal to everyone that would give their support to me on Patreon. However, I feel that $3 patrons should be rewarded more than simply just getting chapters early. Therefore, for the last couple of weeks, I've been thinking about if I should give $3 patrons exclusivity to the digital downloads or more Patreon-exclusive posts.

After much consideration, I decided that digital downloads of my work are a pretty big benefit for $1 patrons. Furthermore, when it comes to chapters in series like Kostas Kingdom, I don't want my patrons to have to deal with going on that website to read them lol. I feel the convenience of being able to simply read them on here is a good perk. So I've decided to keep this for the $1 tier.

Now this doesn't mean that $1 patrons will get NO patron-exclusive posts. $1 patrons will receive things like updates and some general thoughts that I wish to share. Basically, I will decide on a post to post basis which ones I share with $1 patrons as well. However, I will say that reflections will be exclusive to $3 patrons, which always includes updates and general corrections to old chapters. Posts like the updated Mercedes chapter, which I've never added to Chyoa and is a purely Patreon-exclusive piece of content, will now be locked to the $3 tier.

These changes will be made in the beginning of March to prepare my current patrons.

If anyone feels like it should be the other way around, where everyone gets all Patreon-exclusive posts and only $3 patrons and above get digital downloads, OR if there is another perk I can add INSTEAD to $3 patrons, I am all ears.

I hope you all understand where I am coming from, as I feel like this is more fair to those who are a part of the higher tiers. I am more than thankful to EVERYONE who gives me their support, but I also feel that those who give me more of their support should be rewarded as such.

I will see you all soon with the latest Patreon chapter!
