Getting Back on the Horse (Patreon)

Hi everyone, I hope you have all been doing well!

First of all I’d like to thank everyone for your patience and continued support through my ongoing absence.  I’m extremely grateful for everyone that stuck around through this longer than expected hiatus.

I’m getting ready to reboot this place and wanted to dip in to get all of your opinions on a couple items (Sorry for the long post, there's quite a bit I'd like to address):

PLATFORM CHOICE:  Do people still like this platform?  I know there are others such as subscribestar and maybe newer ones I’m ignorant of, and I am unsure if there is a clear preference amongst you all.  This would be the time to make a shift if people do have a clear preference or suggestions for better/different platforms.

CHARACTER VOTING PHASE:  I am looking to retool the suggestion/voting structure to be spread over the course of two months, so suggestions would be for the next month’s character, while voting would occur during the first week of each month.  Doing suggestions, then voting in one month left less time for me to reliably draw winners, so I think spreading things out would make for better results and scheduling.  How do we feel about this?

NICHE CHARACTERS:  There tends to be a bias towards more recognizable characters, so more niche character suggestions tend to get crowded out.  While I love to represent everyone’s suggestions, it seems there needs to be a separation here somehow so everyone feels their suggestions are relevant.  My thoughts are either:

Having each month follow a specific series to focus suggestions and character relevance. I would have you all vote for the upcoming 3-4 months of series to smooth out the process?  How do we feel about this?

Having staggered months that switch between more prominent characters, and more niche characters.  This will likely be based on my own vibes, so I’m leaning away from this solution as it’s filled with my own bias

If anyone has a good suggestion on a different structure, please feel free to suggest it

PAST AND FUTURE MOONS:  I am looking to do another 100 moons in the near future with similar special NSFW variants on here for patrons.  A few questions about this:

PAST MOONS:  My schedule and life priorities threw a wrench in fulfilling the previous moons NSFW variants, and I am all too aware I need to finish that.  The thoughts I have now are on quality and time.  While I can focus on fulfilling past images, it would necessarily pose a scheduling challenge for newer content.  There are a few ways we can handle this:

Focus on fulfilling old content before starting new content.  (I think this is the most straight forward solution, but it anchors me in my older works that I feel are a bit weaker)

Complete new 100 moons, and revisit old moons as legacy redraws (Will jump start content, and give a tail for ongoing variants)

Forget old moons and focus on new content (Higher focus on newer more relevant picture with intentional dropping of old content)

OTHER SUGGESTIONS: Of course if there's anything else you'd like to see addressed, please let me know. For example, if there are other rewards/models that you enjoy from other artists that you would like for me to implement.  I want to try to make things worth while for everyone, and I’ll see what I can feasibly work into my routine.

Again, thank you all again for sticking around during this rough patch, it means the world to me to have the support for anyone able and willing. I am endeavoring to make the support worth while for everyone as soon as possible!
