POLL: Future of the Suggestion Box

So, for those of you who might not know, the Suggestion Box I offer to $5+ patrons is a way for those folks to suggest ideas for me to draw in the big illustrations I do twice a month.  Despite me linking it a couple times recently here and on the Discord channel, I'm getting to a place where I'm beginning to run out of prompts in the box.  I have enough to last me a couple more months, so this is just me thinking ahead, but I'm beginning to wonder if the Suggestion Box just isn't appealing to folks.

If not, that's totally fine - I've never been shy about changing things up a little to give y'all the strongest incentives I can manage.  So I've been considering a few alternatives and I'd like to run them by you.

Firstly, I can abandon the Suggestion Box entirely.  In this case I would need something to replace it with.  Maybe I'd bring back the themed monthly illustrations, with the theme voted on by patrons; maybe I'd find something else to replace them with.  That would be another conversation (and I would be open to ideas, of course!)

Another option would be, if the Suggestion Box were to stick around, to possibly open it up briefly to $2 patrons as well as everyone else.  This would be a limited time thing to bolster the amount of ideas I have to work from, but I'm not entirely sure it would be fair to the $5+ patrons.  Then again, I have given them plenty of opportunities to place an idea in there and we're in this situation, so I'm not sure!

A third idea would be to nix the Suggestion Box and just not replace it with anything.  In this case I would be dedicating the time I would normally use for Suggestion Box illustrations to making comics and merch for people to buy.  Maybe the $5+ patrons could get some kind of a discount on those, if I figure out how to do that, but I would like to find some kind of perk for those folks if possible.

So I have a poll below! Option 1 will be as written above: figuring something to replace the Suggestion Box with.  Option 2 will be to keep the Suggestion Box around, and open it up to lower-tier patrons if I need entries.  Option 3 will be to nix the Suggestion Box entirely and focus on making things I can sell.

Vote below to let me know what you'd like me to do, and definitely leave a comment if you have another idea for me to consider!  Nothing here is set in stone, and I want to be able to do what's most exciting for everyone involved.

well, consider this a request for more suggestions <3

Would be fine with any of these options! I do try to submit suggestions when there is a request for more, but I tend to forget it is available otherwise and would feel selfish just filling it with ALL the ideas.

Going to second what the goatwife said! Keeping the box is a good idea, and if it runs dry you can either use that time to chill or come up with other art stuff while you wait for new prompts!
