Changes to the Star tier (Patreon)

Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a great summer ❤️

I wanted to give you all a small heads up about the changes I've made to the Star (12€) tier. When I was launching my Patreon, I set up that tier purely as a way for people to, in a way, support me ''more'' if they are able to. I did not expect a lot of people to do so, and I wanted to keep my mods as affordable as possible without splitting things into multiple tiers and making things confusing.

As more time passed, more people were subbing to that tier, and while it made me feel extremely grateful to the whole community, it also made me feel a little bit guilty. While it's 4€ extra from the usual Sparkles (8€) tier, it didn't really give anything more besides a discount on commissions which I don't even open nowadays due to various reasons. I wanted to sort of thank people for wanting to support me, but I did not want everyone to feel like they absolutely have to sub to the more expensive tier to receive extra rewards.

Considering all this, I have decided to start releasing an extra accessory mod per month as a ✦Star Bonus, which basically is just a small ''thank you'' to everyone who is willing to support me a little bit more. The minimum 1 outfit per month will stay the same as usual (though usually I try to release at least 2 per month) for both Stars and Sparkles. Additionally, ✦Star Bonus will remain exclusive to the Star tier for a month, after which it will be made available to ALL patrons - that way Sparkle subscribers can enjoy it as well, just a month later, without feeling the need to sub to the more expensive tier.

The ✦Star Bonus can be anything smaller - a piece of jewellery, shoe mod or some other accessory. Outfit/clothing mods will still be available for the default Sparkle (8€) tier, as well as the Star tier.

Aside from that, I might start asking Star subscribers about the outfits they'd like me to make with Star exclusive polls. Those are not a guarantee, as usually I just try my best to make whatever I feel like doing in the moment to avoid burning out, but there have been situations where I couldn't quite make up my mind - whenever a situation like this happens, I might ask Star subscribers for their opinion in the future! ;w;

I hope this small change is not too confusing, but if you all have any questions at all feel free to let me know either in the comments below, or on my discord/twitter. I will try to help with anything as much as I can!

Love you all and stay safe ❤️

PS: To anyone who is curious about the survey results - I have not forgotten about them, I will make a small summary in the upcoming days whenever I'm able. This month has been super busy for me and I did not have the time to sit down and write things. ;A; I'm super sorry it's taking so long! ;-;
