A small birthday gift to you 🙂 (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

Just wanted you to know that today, although the 1st of April is known as… well you know what 😅… for me, it's that time of the year even I celebrate and add another one 😂.

And I'm very… I mean VERY happy that this year, I have you all around me.

As you can see in the image, we've passed that psychological “1000” milestone. And I think it's my honest duty to thank you all for this achievement. 🤗

And, since this community is based on trust and mutual respect, I think it's only fair that, from now on, the monthly support I have from all of you should be public.

I hate monetization and I'm the worst online seller ever. And I'm proud of both these defects 🥳

As stated many times, I don't sell anything. I just make things and put them behind a subscription, as a token of respect for the ones who support my work and to justify the countless hours of work, of trial and error and of joy we all get when something clicks.

I also had this crazy idea of making a “first 50 supporters” each month, but it died rapidly 😅 To much corporate “Sell me this pen” sh*t… trained for marketing and profit… Make people feel “guilty” or determined to reach their wallet.

I think focusing on monetization is bulls*it and the fact that so many of you chose to support my work, without these corporate incentives, stands as undeniable proof. And I'm happy! 🥰

Because, again, it's about trust. And I've been stunned to see that there are some of you who gave their trust in my work for a whole year. It might not mean much for others, but it means the world to me.

Now, with all the above in mind, I still think it's fair to tell you about some of the people who support this project and the work I'm doing here with their help.

That's why I want to share their stories, for everyone to know why they made this decision. If they agree, of course, and are willing to tell us 🤗.

So, to wrap things up, this is a call to everyone who knows how much they have supported this project and for how long and wants to have their story shared with everyone else in this community: send whatever you think it's worth publishing to rofireblade185@gmail.com or send me a message on the private chat and all your thoughts will be shared with everyone watching this page. With the amount spent, if you so desire.

Just to wrap things up, I just want you to know that I love you all and thank you for the best birthday gift ever!

Looking forward, both me and the community, to seeing your stories!

Love you!

Fireblade 🤗
