Animation Updates
tl;dr: Progress: 50% complete
As mentioned earlier this week I am working quite a few animations to complete The Rookie. I'm still at it currently. So far I've done two different variations of two of the animations. Going to try to get a third animation done tonight which will put me at halfway. I have a few other updates I need to mention but I will put them in a post for tomorrow.
Payment Change
If you haven't already you should get a e-mail soon from patreon detailing changes to how they plan to make the payments work. As you may or may not know, Creators anywhere from 7 to 15% of the amount pledged by patrons due to patreon using the pledge amount to pay for the credit card and paypal fees. I personally lose about 10-12%. 5% is taken from patreon fees for using the patreon service, and another 5-7% is from card/paypal processing fees.
However patreon decided to change the way this works. This will go into effect December 18th. After the change, the card processing fees will now be added to the individual pledges. This was done so creators only have to pay the %5 patreon fee. The standard card processing fee creator would have to pay out of their total amount earned, will applied to patrons. It is 2.9% + $0.35. So instead of $1 it would be $1.379. $5 would be $5.495.
Honestly this is pretty standard credit card fees you pay when buying stuff online. But I don't feel like anyone is really "buying" stuff here because I don't really have anything locked down like that. This patreon page is used to help to that myself and ttrop be able to work on this stuff full time. And of course rewards are offered for that level of generosity. So I didn't really mind getting hit with the credit card fees. But I already checked and there is nothing I can do about. It was a executive decision made by patreon that applies to all everyone on the site. Might have been nice if they had a poll or something but I never saw one. Feel free to leave thoughts. I will have a post tomorrow with nice nice progress.
