I'm thinking...We might pause this for a while. (Patreon)

Someone brought up a good point, it's really not fair that I offer such limited slots for rewards since they stay filled by the same people. I've really enjoyed the consistency in how I get to work for people since I've been here, I enjoy the routine and I enjoy the stuff people ask me to draw. But this past year I've been taking longer and longer to get stuff done, maintain focus, and found that I'd be spending the entire month JUST doing rewards and barely getting time at all to work on other stuff (I mean I always worked on my own stuff anyway but I technically didn't have time for it...hence why I got 3+months behind on rewards~!)
So I think what needs to happen is I need to unpublish my page, and figure out some new tiers that gives people more options. In generally I need to learn how this site works tbh, I JUST found where to turn off the option for annual subs, it is ridiculous, the settings belong in ONE PLACE patreon!
Is there a way to make a queue system? So the people who get rewards can cycle each month so other people have a chance to get in? I would really like it if I make it so the reward tiers need to be consciously agreed to renew instead of doing it automatically.
I don't know how many of you guys know this, but someone who supported me since the beginning actually passed away in 2023. And the only way I could stop the recurring payments from them...was to block them. So now they're the only name on my block list here, it's the only place I see them now and it breaks my heart. There were months she'd missed putting in her request even tho she paid because she was in the hospital...one of the last things she told me was she might be late on the next one too because she was going in for surgery soon. My last message to her was letting her know she could take all the time she needed and I'd be happy to draw whatever she wants when she gets back.....
So yeah, if you guys know if there's a way to make the reward tiers a conscious agreement instead of a recurring payment, please let me know. Until then I'll give it a week and then probably unpublish the page for a while until I figure out the tiers system.
If you got a yearly sub just fill out the form for any months I missed, I'll email you the full res files of your requests as I get to them. Sorry for the trouble.
