New Tier!

Hey everyone! The other week, I mentioned that I was planning on announcing a new Patreon tier, and that time has come! As promised, I won't be holding anything back from the $5 tier, meaning you'll all keep getting exactly what you're getting right now. This new tier, coming in at $10, is about thanking people who have chosen to support me above and beyond that level, and about rewarding people who might be willing to do so. So, here are the new benefits you're going to get if you chose to pledge at the $10 tier:

1) Access to regular polls about stories I should write!
-This one is pretty simple. On a regular basis (probably slightly less than once a month), I'll post a poll listing some story ideas I'm considering writing. $10 patrons get to vote, and I'll write whichever one gets picked!

2) Author's notes posts!
-After each story, I'm going to be making a post in which I cover some of my thoughts about the story: discussion of what happened, why I wrote it the way I did, how the story is unfolding, my inspirations etc. Things like that. I hope some of you find that interesting!

3) Your name in the credits!
-I'll now be including a credits section in each story, as a way of thanking all $10 patrons! By default I'll credit people under their Patreon names, but if you want to be credited under a different name (or not credited at all) just let me know in a comment or message :)

4) Submit names for stories!
-Coming with names for my stories is often the hardest part, and I figured that some of you might get a kick out of putting names of your choosing into stories, so this seemed like a win-win. $10 patrons can submit one name each, and once I've used them all I'll make a post to collect more names!

5) One week early access!
-Nice and simple! Get access to stories one week before everyone else ;)

So the TL;DR is: if you pledge at $10, you'll get access to stories quicker, polls to pick new stories, your name in the credits, the ability to pick names for use in stories, and new author's notes posts! If any of that sounds appealing, simply update your pledge! If you're already pledging $10 or more, as some of you are, then you'll receive all these new perks immediately, but you might need to edit your pledge simply to select the new tier

$10 patrons (new or old): I'll make a quick post in a couple days to collect your names for use in stories. The credits, author's notes and early access perks will kick in right away. The first story poll will be at the start of next month!
