Subscription Billing & Change of archiving plan (Patreon)

Hello, Hexxet here,

Subscription Billing: I have changed this Patreon Site from the previous model to Subscription Billing. For everyone who has signed up before today, nothing changes with the billing. For new Patrons it should be more attractive/less confusing, as their subscription period now starts on the day they sign up. (So their next pay date is not the first of next month but their sign up day next month. This was a problem for people who joined up late within a month, as they got billed on join up and then a few dates later on the first of the next month again).

Change in the archiving plan: In order to adapt to this new way of signing up I am adapting my archiving plan. Until now stories of two months ago were archived on the first of a new month. With the new plan I will be archiving the older stories as new stories come out. So, once a side story in the current month comes out, the oldest side story still available is removed. This way of archiving will start with the start of the new year in January. (On the first of January the November stories will all be archived[just like before]. Then with the second story of January I will start removing the last Story available --> resulting in there always being 5 stories active at any given time.)

I don't think that this should be a problem for long time patrons. If you download my stories as they come out or if you download the whole month at the end of the month both work out fine as only older stories are archived. For a better overview the future Outlook & friendly reminder posts I do will contain an archiving plan with the dates of when older stories get archived each month.

I hope this is not confusing anybody. It should not have any negative consequences on current patrons and new patrons should benefit from this. (Resulting in hopefully less complaints about being double charged).
