Billing Paused for june cycle (and more!)
Added 2024-05-30 17:39:46 +0000 UTCHey folks! I'll keep this update as sweet and simple as I can manage, despite my inclination for text walls. (haha oops)
Quick TLDR -Gremlins should be almost entirely done by end of the month, probably just a few extra left to knock out + the vote pics, sorry for the delay!
-billing will be paused till october, nobody will be charged before then! -Anybody who unpledges during the pause will retain discord early access to art during the pause. there is a possibility to instead open on september if things go easy with my move!
-commission openings SOON
-Early access timegating DURING THE PAUSE will now be based off when images are posted in discord. Ill still be bulk uploading here, but since nobodies going to be getting charged during the pause, this just makes bookeeping on my side easier!
TLDR end
Starting June 1st, the patreon billing will remain on pause until september/october. You won't be billed during this time (obviously). Though absolutley no worries if you decide to throw your pledges at other creators as a result <3 The reasoning of the pause is simple enough, money! (as well as a few extra days to finish stuff)
I've got a money goal im a bit behind on, and I need to spend the next few months grinding on that HARD to hit that goal! Don't get me wrong, patreon is worth its work, BUT it requires working in working blocks, which is much harder to do with my current living condition. (To put it simply, I usually spend alot longer on the first few i do in a day because i dont want someone to get a worse gremlin because im warming up... but this becomes a problem when i get interupted after the first few rather than being able to sit down and do a working day, suddenly 15 minute doodles become 40+ minutes each, which adds up w the monthly vote pic, bookeeping, etc!)Finally- [This section has a bit ommitted that I wrote about on discord only! the tldr is how this site has been managed esp with some furry creators have been handled has made me feel less confident in management]
1- For now, I'll be adjusting the early access to be based on when the art is posted on discord, rather than specifically posted on patreon. I've tried to massivley avoid this since I made the discord but all the recent scares with the website have forced my hand.
2-[Another ommitted section for the discord]
dont worry, patreon will remain open until patreon itself closes it, or unless the vast majority swap to other support methods (of which we'll figure out if it gets there) If you have any questions, don't worry about asking them! My guess is I should have all but 15 or so gremlins done by the end of this month, and will need to finish those + the vote pic(s) in the first few days of it, sorry for any delays there!
As a heads up, if ANY of this rubs you the wrong way, (and if you havent gotten your doodle yet for this block and are kobold tier) please don't feel afraid to message me for a refund for last block and Ill happily get you sorted <3 (as a heads up, patreon DMS are a bit finnicky, so if i miss your message, dont feel afraid to let me know youve messaged me here via other platforms too!)
and again, as I always try to say, if any of this causes you to wanna cancel your pledge in advance, its never something that'll effect how I feel bout ya! appreciate all the support I've gotten, massivley and more than I could ever state! But I 100% get if you'd want to throw your pledges at other creators in the meantime, and I look forward to earning pledges back after the pause!
