March Patreon Revamps (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone! We're a couple weeks away from March so I just wanted to post a reminder about some of the tier revamps that will be happening at that time! If you want more details behind why these are happening, you can find that all in this post!
tl;dr over the past year patreon pledges have been shrinking by a lot, but my workload hasn't, so it's becoming a struggle not just to produce the amount of content I do, but to pay my bills. I'm adjusting pricing/perks in the Darling Deer and Winsome Wolf tier as a result, and adding an additional higher tier. DD/WW tier folks will need to adjust their membership when the changes go into affect March 3rd.
Here are the changes, along with a new tier that will be added in addition to our current tiers!
Tier Revamps:
Darling Deer - $2 ($1 increase)
- Perks include: Polls, Pinup & Livestreams twice monthly (new)
Winsome Wolf - $3 ($1 increase)
- Perks include: Cinderfrost Pages & Sketchbook (10 sketches)
Pretty Pony - $5 (same)
- Perks include: The Sword of Souls comic pages
Fetching Fox - $10 (same)
- Perks include: All of the above plus comic sketches & hi-rez PSDs
Unique Unicorn - $100 (same)
- All of the above plus commissions. I've reduced the number of available slots in this tier because I struggled to keep up.
NEW tier - $25 Fearsome Felines
- It was suggested I have a more expensive tier for a variety of additional content. World-building/lore, tutorials, more WIP's, comic thumbnails, blogs about the process of creating, short stories from the same universe as the comics etc. So I'm opening this tier for anyone interested in getting all the details! This would be a lot more hodgepodge, with no set quantity of each type of content, but more of an open forum for discussion and sharing about behind the scenes both within my process and the stories themselves.
How it works - March 3rd, I'll publish the new tiers and send a message to everyone notifying them. If you're in the Pretty Pony, Fetching Fox or Unique Unicorn tiers, these changes won't affect you. If you're in the Darling Deer or Winsome Wolf tier, you will have to manually adjust your membership to reflect what perks/price you want. Patreon will only charge you the difference. (So if you were in the $1 tier and you adjust to be in the $2 tier, it will only charge you the difference of $1).
If you plan on lowering/removing your pledge, I suggest you do this now or at the end of February! By doing so you will still have access to everything in your tier until March 1st and you won't be charged in the next pay cycle.
I'll message everyone in the DD/WW tiers to both give them a heads up and let them know how to make the manual adjustment (on desktop, you just click your icon at the top right and go to 'manage memberships'; the rest is pretty straight forward!). Once you've adjusted your membership you'll have regular access to content as per usual :)
As always, if you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to comment or message me! I know changes like this can be confusing, and by god Patreon has not made it intuitive for us, but I'll be with ya every step of the way :) Thanks so much for supporting me and for being so understanding about the need for these changes! Your feedback and comments have been invaluable.
Here's to a smooth transition <3
