Content

Hey everyone!

Let me get right to the point, I am unfortunately in the position that I must start posting my exclusive content primarily to my discord server.

This is due to a few patrons (you know who you are) who have chosen to scrape and steal content from you, regularly spreading it to several hundred followers free of charge.

I know on the surface this doesn't seem like a fix. Without going into details, I assure you that this indeed will fix the issue.

Patreon is aware of this problem and is working diligently to take action against those involved. Once this is done and the offenders are handled, we may return to posting primarily on Patreon's site.

For now though, in order to insure that you are getting the exclusive access that you have long paid for, I will be posting the majority of my art to the Discord Server.

I will still be posting non-exclusive materials and announcements here, as well as on Discord.

To gain access to Discord, please connect your discord account to your patreon account. It should automatically add you to my server.

If you are unsure of how to do this, please scroll to the bottom of this post for instructions.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. For the last few months I have been attempting to dissuade and block this content from being taken, but I've been unable to find an alternative solution.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me. I will do my best to ensure that this change only benefits my patrons. So far I have mostly heard positive feedback about the server's new set up. But I am more than happy to take in any constructive criticism you may have to offer!

I'm glad you're doing what you need to for your business! I haven't been able to get discord connected in the past, and personally just don't use the app anyway. Just letting you know this isn't a solution for all of your patrons.

Thank you sincerely for your feedback. Please let me know if you've tried the above methods in the post for connecting your discord app. I've found it's far easier to do so on a laptop or desktop rather than mobile if that makes a difference. If you still can't get Patreon to connect, please let me know and I would be happy to get you an invite.

Thank you for the offer! I'll be honest: I don't want to use discord. I haven't had it installed since the last time I tried, and I don't want to set one up just to access rewards.

Vellum

I'm sorry to hear that, but I totally understand. Thank you so much for all of your support, I really appreciate it. You'll still receive archive links directly in your messages as long as you're pledged, but I completely understand if this is still too much of an inconvenience.

Hi vell, could i catch the link to your discord? Big fan of your work thank you!

Vellum

Hey there western! You should be automatically invited if you connect your discord to your patreon account

Huh weird it didn't show up on my discord only showed I was connected to The Den

Vellum

The Fen Den? That should be it, says you’re in there

Alexey Didenko

Same issue, just upgraded my tier and synced my discord but it isn't showing up there

Vellum

Hello Alexey! I sent you a friend request on discord to verify which account should be added to the server. Sometimes it does take the patreon bot some time to catch up depending on how busy the bot is.

Andres Maderas

I have the same problem, I just updated my level and synced my discord but it doesn't show up

Vellum

Hello Andres! I would recommend double checking that you're logged into the correct discord account! I see your account on the discord channel with the appropriate roles assigned!

Sorry to bother you, I'm have a hard time connecting discord, it never gives me a pop up or anything to actually connect my discord and just says I need to verify the account but never pulls me to a way to verify it.

Vellum

Hmm, yeah it doesn’t look like there’s a discord account connected, and you’ve followed all the steps in the post above?

MoonMoon TheWerewolf

I have, let me try again later tonight when I get home and have access to my PC
