Changes for 2019 (Patreon)

We have finally reached the $300 reward and we've stabilized around that. We've been at it for almost three months solid, and that makes me confident enough to say that we're there, and we should have 3 stories posted every month. 

As such, based off of 8 months of this patreon (decent amount of data) and the new reward unlocked, I wanted to shuffle around with the tier rewards a bit. 

Some things I've noticed: 

- The former $10 tier (now $7 tier) is fairly unpopular. There are some people there, but not many. 

- The most successful tiers have been the highest ($50, $100, and $200), but I have many $2 patrons and $5 as well. 

- The $1 tier is basically useless 

I believe I'm going to delete the $1. I'll create a Ko-fi account. If people want to give me a tip, they can go there for a one time donation. 

The $2 tier will stay the same. You will get 2 stories a month, each of them my "main" storylines (Currently Poetry & Blood and The Rabbit Hole). The perk of this one will be an advance copy (about a month) ahead of other public spaces. 

The $5 tier will get three stories a month. This will include my patreon exclusive storyline (Currently, Route B, the alternate ending to The Rabbit Hole). 

The $7 tier will no longer get access to rough drafts. Instead, they will get three stories a month and access to my patreon commissions and any artwork I get commissioned. This will include stories like Kiara's Curse, Lady Lorelei, etc. 

I will recreate the $10 tier. They will get everything else the $7 tier, in addition to the ability to sponsor a patron commission. This is the big change. Every month, I do 750 words on my ongoing patron commissions (Kiara's Curse and Lady Lorelei) but some people love those stories and want me to work on them faster. For $10, you can get an additional 750 words on the story of your choice, speeding up its production. You will not have a say in where it goes, that is still under my control and the the control of the commissioner, but you will help it be released faster. 

The $20 tier will be those that create patron commissions. All three of my current patrons at that tier have ongoing works (I'll be introducing the next one in that tier to you all shortly). If you want your own ongoing storyline, you can become a $20 patron as well. 

I haven't done this yet, and it isn't finalized. Please comment below letting me know what you think. I want your insight and feedback as this all effects you directly. My goal here is simply to make Patreon my focus. For a while, MCStories was my focus, but I can't focus there when they don't accept stories like The Rabbit Hole there. This space gives me control over my content. I want to serve you all directly and make sure you are all happy campers. 

Much love,
