Explaining Pledge Support Changes (Patreon)

Hello Darlings, 

As I've been teasing these past few months, I have some plans to change this Patreon for the better for 2019. The biggest thing I've seen is that there is a diversity in kinks and preferences among my patrons. That's great. I love it. I want to meet that need, but my time and energy is limited. I want to make sure you get what you want, so I am creating a new system to focus my energies. 

The $1 tier will be removed. I don't know many people who stay as a patron at that tier for very long, and for good reason. It doesn't offer much. I'll be creating a Ko-Fi for people that want to drop me tips rather than using the $1. 

The $2 tier will become more of the tip tier. They will get one story a month at this teir and access to all public posts/polls/etc. This will be for people that want access to my stories that aren't posted on MCStories. The Rabbit Hole cannot be published on MCStories, and other stories I am working on may violate certain sites policies on incest/trans/dark/etc. I want to push this Patreon forward with giving you all content no one else gets, but that means raising the bar on this. If you can't afford to move up to $5, I apologize. I understand if that is the reason I lose your patronage. But if you want to get exclusive access to my work, influence over the stories I write, and find ways to encourage me to keep writing and support me, the $5 tier will be the way to do it. If you maintain at the $2 level and don't change your pledge, it will become like the tip jar. 

If you are a $5 patron, you are getting two stories a month. My two core stories (currently Poetry & Blood & The Rabbit Hole). As those stories come to a close (which won't happen for several months), there will be two different "main series" that I'll have going on. 

$7 patrons get three stories a month. They get my two core stories and they get my patron commissions. This will be either Lady Lorelei, Kiara's Curse, Route B (the alternate ending to "My Best Friend's Girlfriend"), or Wolfords, for now. 

The $10 tier will be recreated. They will have a special power over patron commissions. You see, $20 patrons get to commission their own stories. They only get 750 words a month, though. A $10 patron will act as a $7 patron, but they will get to put an additional 750 words towards the story of their choice. At the pace of 750 words a month, many stories are done every 3-4 months. Some people want Lady Lorelei faster. They want Kiara's Curse faster. They want to directly influence which stories I am working on and how quickly they come out. That's the goal of the $10 tier. 

$20 patrons will stay the same. They pick the stories I write, and they get 750 words a month. If they come up with a very popular story, then $10 patrons can help them see their work come out faster. Simple as that. 

This will all start in February. I wanted to introduce you all to Wolfords and get a taste of the three options before I cut them off from the $5 and below patrons and introduce the $10 tier. 

How does that sound?
