Fansigns

I've been thinking lately about the fansigns. I knew they'd always kind of be a bit of a hurdle. I know that the answer may be biased because the people that only subscribed to get a sign might not still be here.

I have another batch of signs being edited right now, also.

With how many there are at a time, it begins to feel more like a quantity over quality thing. I want to always put my heart and soul into the pics I do, but the signs feel more like just a mass-produced product I'm selling. In a way, they are. I'm not sure if it's the way I want to go about my content. It makes me not want to promote my Patreon as well because I know there's a possibility of it causing of influx of joiners and I'll be swamped. I'm trying to take them more frequently so I don't have as many to do at a time, but I'm getting burnt out from that too. Even doing it more frequently still means I have 20 - 50 to do at a time. Overall, a decent amount of pressure/expectation comes from doing them. Patreon is also weird with how it shows new joiners. Oftentimes I don't get emails or notifs for some new people, so they get left out if I don't see them in the members list.

But I'm also aware of the immediate reward that the signs provide for the $10 tier. It feels nice to give thanks in a personalized way, but I didn't anticipate how popular the $10 tier would be. Also, if I ever stopped doing $10 signs, I would keep doing the $50 ones.

I want to conduct a poll to see how people feel.

So, my question is, did you find the idea of a fansign to be important when you chose the $10 tier?

Please let me know!

To be bluntly honest, the fan signs were a nice thing to look forward to. But I'm really here because I like your pictures in general. If it's too much of a hassle, I wouldn't mind if you stopped. I'm sure a lot of us would agree.

It was a nice little inclusion, honestly. I do want to support you, and continue to! Was nice to see my name pop up (which again, I missed looking through the pictures, so that was my mistake). If the influx will burn you out on an assembly line of the product, change the direction to something else. Do what you want! We're here to support YOU!!!

You know, even with the 50$ tier, yeah it's great but I'm not here to see my nickname appear on one of your photos, I'm here to support you and enjoy the content you share with us.

I joined to support the cosplays and the genuine effort you put into everything and I decided on $10 in my head before I had even seen the tiers. I didn't actually expect the signs to involve the cosplays and editing that you do. It adds some exclusivity with each batch being different and I appreciate mine! BUT it'd be a shame if all your creative energy went towards only that and got sapped because of it. You're justified to rethink the idea.

Not Important, just want to help support!

I already got 2, so idk how much my opinion is worth xD but I never really found them that important.

Probably not the most important thingggg, but I would like one, especially with a custom pose ;w;

I joined because I love your work and wanted to pitch in. That's it 😊 Everything else is a nice bonus that I like to have but don't need. Especially if it causes you undue stress as stress kills creativity.

Was never something I was looking for, just a cool bonus. Might be biased since I was in the first wave, but if you need to make a change to it, I think it'll be alright.

To be honest I didn’t care too much about getting a fan sign cuz I just wanted to see what cosplays and looks you be cooking up more than anything. It was cool to see my name tho haha
