Hello, Hexxet here,

Usually I would write a welcome note for February right now (I will do that tomorrow!), but I need to rant right now, sorry!

I have disabled my Patreon Time/Story Bundle Tiers including the Archive Tier. The main reason for this is a Bug... it's the only thing I can call this... that Patreon currently has with Subscription Billing. 

At first I thought there was some real reason behind my diminishing earnings on Patreon (even though the number of Patrons has increased!) like Currency fluctuations, or less interest in my archive. But it got worse and when I contacted support I finally found out the reason. Due to a logical error in Subscription Billing I seem to be losing out on about 20% of my earnings here on Patreon. Patreon does not let me change back to the original billing plan (I assume that they are not able to revert this change technically).

While their support guy did understand my plight and ensured me to present this issue to the Team, I have no idea when this will be fixed. To minimize my frustration I'm therefore disabling the Tiers I was using for one time payments for my Archive. This does not fix the problem, but the high priced tiers are of course especially trouble-some in combination with said bug.

I don't want to go too much into detail about the bug itself, as I do think that it can be severely abused to cheat Creators out of their money, and I assume most Creators in Subscription billing are currently suffering under the consequences (whether they have noticed or not).

If you were planning to buy some of my older comics, I'm sorry for the complications. This won't be possible over Patreon for at least the month of February I guess. However, I will be launching my homepage into a Beta test within the next few days and if everything works out, there will be a new way to unlock my Archive. (More to that in a few days.) [Also, my Comics are available on Gumroad. The three-month Time Bundles there are no bad deal I think.)

If you currently are in a Patreon Bundle Tier and for some reason want to stay there, feel free to do so, it's not a problem.
