Patron Acknowledgements Reminder, plus More Details!
Added 2022-06-14 20:01:09 +0000 UTC
The Patron Acknowledgement pages for Chapter Two will be styled after a "Star Chart," similar to above. I talked a little about this concept in a previous post.
Please fill out this form!
Very few people have done so. It's SUPER QUICK, it means your name appears in the acknowledgements exactly as you wish, and it makes my life a lot easier because I can feel certain that you are being represented in the manner you wish.
You don't need to sign in or anything, and I don't use the info for anything other than crafting this chart.
Thank you to everyone who has filled it out!
Here's roughly how the star chart pages will be laid out:


Remember: this acknowledgement page is going up online with the comic and it's going in the book when there is a book, and it's important to me that you're happy with how you're represented on these pages.
I WILL BE SAD IF YOU SEE THE BOOK AND ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGED IN A WAY THAT FEELS GOOD FOR YOU.
On this Star Chart, you may be acknowledged by…
- YOUR PATRON NAME. This is the default! I will use your name as it appears in Patreon to acknowledge you on the star chart, using my best guess to conform it to style. Details below! Or you can just fill out the form to say, "yep, this is how I want it to look."
- AN ALTERNATE NAME. Specify any alternate name to take the place of your own. To do this, please use this form.
- ANONYMOUS. You may be acknowledged as "Anonymous." If this is what you wish, find that option on this form.
- NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. You will not be listed on the star chart. If this is what you wish, find that option on this form.
Many of you are listed on Patreon under a single first name or under a screen name of some sort!
Unless you specify otherwise (by using this form), here is how your name will appear on the star chart:
If you are listed on Patreon solely by (what seems to be) your first name, like Greg or Tuggy or Millicent-Anne, I will take that first name and do something fun with it, so on the star chart you will appear in the following fashion, (with additional names for context)…
11. Cheery Littlebottom
12. Greg of All Marsh Fowl
14. Susan Sto Helit
15. Tuggy, Chancellor of The Deep
16. Millicent-Anne Who Is Light Of Foot
17. Leonard de Quirm
If you are listed on Patreon solely by some sort of screen name, like xX_greasedlightning69_Xx or ravesnake22 or DiandraSkullQueen, I will take that screen name and put it in quote marks and italics, so in context, on the star chart you will see:
68. Samuel Vimes
69. "xX_greasedlightning69_Xx"
70. "ravesnake22"
71. Havelock Vetenari
72. "DiandraSkullQueen"
73. Polly Perks
If I can't be certain whether you're using a screen name or your actual name or some combination thereof, I will guess, and I don't want to guess. Depending on how many of these there are, I might message you.

EDIT: And oh yeah! I almost forgot! Flatting for Chapter Two is DONE!

Again, please fill out this super-quick and easy form.
I look forward to (literally) seeing your name in stars.

It does not mess anything up! Better safe than sorry. In case of emergency, I will use whichever response is the most recent. :)

I can't remember if I filled out the form already so I have done so again; I hope that doesn't mess anything up. (Especially if I gave a different answer each time.)
