Ah - Donna versus the giantesses. What could go wrong?

    Apropos things going wrong, Patreon has announced that they're gonna affix a 35-cent fee to every transaction. This horrified me, because I am largely dependent on one-dollar donors - and why should they put up with a sudden 35% increase in their cost because Patreon is getting greedy?

   This money -grab MAY end up stillborn, because for one thing, it blatantly violates Visa's Terms Of Service. But for now, all I can do is beg my $1 donors to hang on until we know for sure.

"Pay up front" SHOULD take care of those...

Right now I'd just be glad to have some loyal patrons who'd actually stick around and pay . . . instead of the duck-in-duck-outs.

Well, I'm sticking it out. The real blame goes to the shameful credit card companies who make a fortune on interest but have to charge for one one hundredth of a second of time on their computers too... :-(

Have you considered taking a look at some of Patreon's competitors? For instance, there's Kickstarter's new service, D.rip.

If they really want to push their transaction fees onto the patreon (which as you say is against VISA and Mastercard's TOS) through a fixed fee, it should be on your total monthly pledge, not on each individual one. Otherwise it's unfairly punishing people who pledge a little to many creators or pledge per post to creators like yourself.

Luci

That would be a <i>yes.</i> You got it right.

I'm not sure if it's the page or my phone but I am having so much trouble reading the text on mobile. Unless it's suppose be like that cause it's a comic in a comic in which case, cool.

I agree with John there. I already sent an email protesting the change to Patreon. So, Karno, should this fee thing NOT be stillborn, I will find another way, perhaps paypal or the like, to send you the SAME amount as I have been here, through there. But MY expectation is that if/when Patreon actually starts charging this new fee, they will lose donors in droves and you creators will move elsewhere, or the donors will do like I plan to do, donate more directly.

I saw the email about the fee and was ready to immediately cancel all my patreon payments. I want to pay the artists not the darn bureaucrats. If I have to mail you a check from my bank (free) I will.

These pages really highlight how nicely detailed nipples you draw. Would be fun to see some characters with larger average/oversized nips sometime. :3
