Okay Disregard What I Said Yesterday

New plan: I'm changing the tiers to be adjusted for the fees so you won't be paying any extra.

HOWEVER, I still am almost certainly switching to monthly payments. My reason for doing this is because a $1 pledge CANNOT be adjusted for fees since $1 is the minimum amount that can be pledged. There is no way to negate the fees on a $1 pledge, thus we can get around it by changing the $1 weekly pledge into a $4 monthly pledge. Here's how it works:

The new lowest tier pledge will be $3.55 a month. With the new fees added you'll pay exactly $4 a month, the same as if you had pledged $1 all month under my old system.

The new middle tier pledge will be $11.32 a month, which becomes $12 a month when you add the fees.

The new highest tier pledge will be $19.09 a month, which becomes $20 a month when you add the fees.

I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier but this seems like the perfect way to do things. Since I'll be getting a higher cut of the pledges it should offset the reduced pledge amounts to the point where the difference in what I make will be marginal.

So, we're PROBABLY still switching to monthly payments next month (unless the new fee system gets shot down or someone finds and even better way around it). But, fortunately, nobody will be paying any extra compared to what you would already pay to get the full month's rewards. It will be the exact same amount, just in one payment instead of four.

I'm still going to add in the weekly color doodle for all tiers, though, since I need some extra content. Sorry if I worried anyone yesterday, I see I already lost a couple of patrons but I hope they come back once they know about this new idea.
