On the surface, this sounds like me just begging for more money, but that's not my intention. Rather, I'm wondering if you're interested in little donation goals. They would be like the Patreon Monetary goals, except that they would NOT be tied to a monthly donation scheme, and would be a one time goal that once met will result in the production of something not related to Patreon. 

What do I mean? 

For example, do you like the WoW comic books? Well, I don't really make any money on them, and they cost around $250 an issue to produce. So, a one-time goal might be. 

0/$200 - World of Women - Issue #4. 

If the goal is met, then I immediately pay the artist and we get the issue. In this case, I would give anyone who donated for it the issue for free. 

This can also be a new way of doing rushed orders or bonus chapters. So, instead of individuals needing to come up with $20-40, all you need is ten people donating $2. Once the bonus goal is reached, the bonus chapter will come out within 7 days. 

Other types of projects... an image gallery of a waifu. I've hired to have drawn various images of various women, but it's usually just one. Maybe you MDL fans might like an entire "Lydia" series, consisting of her stripping and doing erotic posses (and maybe even some solo work). Well, that's the kind of project I could fund. 

Patreon is still Patreon, Full Frontal is still Full Frontal. This is for those that want to donate for a specific cause and effect, but might not have the money to pay the full amount. It's something like a mini kickstarter, if you will. 

So... if you've ever said you'll buy that for a dollar... now you might have a chance.  As for Patreon... I intend to leave the goals as they are. As long as certain donations are met, I'll release the stories at that speed, with exception of in between volumes.  I think one time goals don't fit the Patreon monthly subscription service very well. 

P.S. I do not have a system like this set up. I'd need to set it up. I'm just gauging interest. 

P.S.S. Other ideas include if you have a bonus chapter you want, but only have, let's say $5, I can put the idea out their so you can crowdsource for the remaining $$$. So if others like your bonus content idea (say a massive orgy between the WoW characters and the Enslaved characters), and others are willing to donate, it can become a reality.

P.S.S.S. Patreon DOES have the ability to do a pay per post, but it's pay per post OR pay a monthly, and I pick monthly. If you offered me $1 to Pay Per Post... that'd be a minimum of $8 a month for the locked chapters of a single one of my fictions. Not what I'm going for here.

I'm voting for keeping everything in patreon only because I can't afford to go beyond patreon at this point. I'm supporting two authors to the best of my ability I can't really afford to buy into any extra work. I would be interested if I could afford it, but you know, if fish were birds they could fly. But alas, fish are only fish for the most part.

The big problem with Patreon goals is that I'm always getting new memberships whether I have them or not. For example, I have the goal now that if I reach $2600, I'll release bonus chapters. Well... I'm eventually going to reach $2600... but if I do it... was it really because anyone wanted those bonus chapters? Probably not. Plus... if it's a one-time thing, it stops noone from immediately dropping all support once that thing they wanted is made. Makes me not want to offer one-off projects in this manner.

Meh

Hrm. My first instinct is that it doesn't sound like a good idea. But it might be good if you could set up something, which might have to go through paypal, to count the money donated to a specific project idea. Maybe give it a month or two, and if it doesn't meet the goal, give the money back. Your discord meet and greet thing would probably be a good way to get ideas for stuff too. Just my two cents.

Meh

As a matter of fact, it can even be useful now that I think about it. You can specifically give it to the people who donated to it, no matter how big or small, then put it in your store for the people who didn't donate anything. Or maybe allow access to it for higher tier monthly donations. No vouchers though.
