(PLEASE READ) Reward Changes Starting August

Hey all!

So as I said in the July rewards opening thread, some additional reward changes are going to be implemented starting when August rewards open up.

New Rewards

$30 Tier:

• 20+ Second Fully Animated Single Character Rewards - This is a 20+ second equivalent to the fully animated reward videos that run about a minute. In this case, it's only about 20 or so seconds of a single character, but with full audio, props, stages, etc.

$45 Tier:

• 20+ Second Fully Animated Dual Character Rewards - This is a 20+ second equivalent to the fully animated reward videos that run about a minute. In this case, it's only about 20 or so seconds of two characters in any sort of quick scenario, but with full audio, props, stages, etc.
  NOTE: Same-size vore will no longer be animated in this tier because it's not something that can be animated in just 20 or 30 seconds, which is why so many animations have run much longer than the original time, and I simply can't afford to keep overextending animations beyond what they're worth anymore. Macro vore is still okay.

• 12 Panel Solo Character Sequences - This tier was originally meant for 6 panel duels with two characters, but honestly, since I've been expanding a lot of sequences by choice anyway, I figure I may as well make the option available too.

$60 Tier:

• 24 Panel Solo Character Sequences - I've gotten much more comfortable with longer panel sequences, so for those who do want to see some really long sequences again, this tier will now allow that. And of course, you can swap that for 12 panels with two characters as well, if you'd prefer.

$90 Tier:

• 24 Panel Dual Character Sequences - Same as above, but with two characters. So in addition to animations, you can now request really long dual character panel sequences as well.

New Merger Options

I've been asked about this many times and since it's worked out quite well in every instance I've done it, I've decided to expand on merger options. Going forward, you can merge up to three months of past due rewards, or choose in advance to request a larger reward as far as three months. What does that look like?

• $2 Tier can merge up to three months and get a solo panel pic & fic. Wherein you can request a solo panel and a 500 word kink fic snippet to go along with it.

• $5 Tier's can merge up to three months for a $15 Tier Reward, which is a 3 panel sequence or a 1k word kink fic.

• $10 Tier can merge up to three months for a $30 Tier Reward, which could be a 6 panel solo character sequence, a 3 panel dual character sequence, a 2k word kink fic, or a 20+ second animation (w/SFX, props, etc.) with a single character.

• $15 Tier can merge up to three months for a $45 Tier Reward, which could be a 12 panel solo character sequence, a 6 panel dual character sequence, or a 20+ second animation (w/SFX, props, etc.) with two characters.

• $30 Tier can merge up to three months for a $90 Tier Reward, which could be a 24 panel solo character sequence, a 12 panel dual character sequence, or a one minute fully animated video (w/SFX, props, etc.) featuring two characters.

• $45 Tier can merge up to two rewards for a $90 Tier Reward and still have one $45 Tier reward as well on hand or request two solo character animations.

For those in the $60 and $90 Tier, your rewards never expire, so if you've paid for a month at any point but haven't requested a reward, you can do so at any time.

Reward Adjustments

• 1k Word Kink Fics Now $15 Tier - This has been on my mind for a very long time ever since I re-opened commissions. I've been grossly undercharging for kink fics since my usual commission rate is over $15 per 1k words, due to how long writing takes. I can no longer comfortably undercharge for kink fics, so this month will be the last month 1k fics are in the $10 tier. That tier will now be reserved exclusively for dual panel rewards or two solo panels. 500 word snippets can still be requested with a panel attached as well, but I do need to start charging in a way that reflects the time that goes into writing.

• 2k Word Kink Fics Now $30 Tier - Similar to the 1k word kink fic, I definitely can't be doing 2k word kink fics at the rate I was doing them since it was under half of what I would charge for commissioned kink fics. This is still technically less than I'd charge for commissions, but it's at least more in keeping with that price so I'm not grossly underselling my work. 'XD

• Same Size Vore Animations Now Exclusive To $90 Tier - This has been a big one for a while. As I stated earlier, animating same size vore is not something I can comfortably do in 30 second intervals unless the animation just ends IMMEDIATELY after prey gets gulped down, and that kinda defeats half the fun of those sorts of animations. I'm still going to finish the overdue ones that need to be made from previous months, but going forward, these types of animations where prey is shown getting swallowed whole by the pred will only be done for the largest animation tier.

There are some other changes on the mind but right now, I'd like to just keep it to this and see how I feel once the new adjustments kick in next month. If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments. Otherwise, thanks for reading! :)
