Moving to a Single Tier in July

Well y'all, here comes some bad news. I'm doing away with tiers and just having a 5$ fee. This will take effect the first week of July. This will include two C6 weekly and one of the bonus strips (like Collar(ed)6) monthly. (I've changed this from one C6 and one Ced6 weekly as I think more C6 is important).

Why?

Because in a month's time I'm going to be the only source of income in the household. I won't drag out the details, but suffice to say, it's another round of 'I go work in a factory' or 'I beg my readers for more $$$'.

Y'all know me fairly well at this point I believe and my feelings on my 'work' not really being worth much, but I do enjoy making them and given the choice I would prefer to continue. On a sustainable basis.

I typically like to ask if y'all are okay with this, but under the circumstances, I've got no choice but to up this. It's a desperation move and I'll understand if any of you drop me from your readership lists. There's a ton of better creators out there who offer better and much more content than I do. So no hard feelings on my end.

Now with that said I guess the poll below serves to help me see how much damage or help this is going to be for me. So... indulge me if you will please.

I'll still be here with an open door and a fresh cup of coffee to share when you return! You take care as well and keep safe out there! :)

Don't be sorry about the price bump :) I totally get that with needing to raise it slightly. I'll be back, I love this strip so much and it's one of the few things left that me and my sister had in common. Until then, take care of yourself please and nothing but positive vibes.

I understand entirely, believe me. I appreciate all the support over the years and the tolerance of my uneven storytelling. Moving is super costly and exhausting and expensive as hell and I wish you as smooth a transition as possible! I'm sorry to see you go and I'm sorry I've had to make this inaccessible. The last couple of years ruined me financially (not that it took much) and at this point I'm just trying to make ends meet without having to give up comic making. I feel bad about it, I do. I hope to see you again in the future, and until then I wish you the best!!

I was around when C6 was a site, actually it was before the spank off. I'd fall away for a few months then come back to catch up. I love the storyline and the world you created [there's been a few times I felt you were grasping at straws to end an arc or introduced some tiny detail then never touched on it again because it was probably mundane]. Then the site went down and I forgot about it until a friend said something a year later about this webcomic they were reading. Turns out it was this one! I was so excited and started binge reading until the announcement that the free version wouldn't be updated as often but it was moving to Patreon. So sure, being on a very fixed and limited income had to make a few changes for just the $3 but it was worth it because I was introduced to other comics in the same sort of world/genre. I won't be able to afford the $5 jump [even thought it's 'only $2'] due to the facts of I'm moving 5 states away to rebuild a house from the foundation up and my income is going to be a lot lower than it is in this state. Eventually I'll come back when my budget allows it but it's been a blast seeing how far you came, not just as an artist but as a person as well. Until then -waves-

perfectly understandable. i was going to bail. but then i noticed it would only be increased by $2. so i'm staying.

Steven Mori

Oh yeah, I was in the little comments section all the time. James even gave me a shout out back when I was doing Crimson Latex, I was really proud of that!

Fiona

I think I remember you from the Savvie and Lacey days, so I'll probably be hard to get rid of.

Brett Mount

No reason for apologies honey, I understand entirely! Thanks for all the support and help you've given me :)

Fiona

I'll have to bail for a while when the hike happens as I need to improve my own monetary situation as well. Sorry Collar. :(

Drale251

Thank you Moose, you've been absurdly generous and it's helped out a huge deal. This wasn't a big issue when I wasn't the only income in the household. Hopefully Chi can get on long term disability and the pressure will ease off me for a bit.

Fiona

Thank you for all your support these past two years!

Fiona

I'll double my commitment, I've struggled MANY times in my life and know how every little $ helps at times.

Evil Moose

I support a twitch streamer with a main job and yourself and if I can find the money for them I can certainly continue this one and maybe I'll hit the 2 year mark here as well.

Gonleth

That's so sweet of you honey, thank you ;_; <3

Fiona

Thank you Lomond, you've been around since the early days and it's readers like y'all that made any of this possible. There will be 2 C6s weekly coming out of this now, so the plot will move faster~

Fiona

Thank you so much~ <3

Fiona

Thank you so much Jon! :D <3

Fiona

Thank you so much dear~! <3

Fiona

That's very sweet of you, thank you~ <3

Fiona

Thank you darling~ <3

Fiona

Thank you Scott~ <3

Fiona

And I'm grateful for that. Thank you so much~ <3

Fiona

I want to make sure y'all are happy with what I'm charging for really. I've changed the plan to two C6s weekly and one bonus strip strip.

Fiona

Thank you Master~ <3 <3 <3

Fiona

Thank you <3 <3 <3

Fiona

Understandable and I'm sorry to see you go. I *have* also considered simply doing two C6 strips and just dropping the other storylines in when I have the time as bonuses.

Fiona

I had also read C6 back on the original site and then on Tumblr. It wasn't until Tumblr put their new policy into effect and the strips were accidentally deleted that I realized I had been taking it for granted. It was suddenly gone and I didn't know if it would ever come back. I joined here so I could help support a comic I enjoy and has provided inspiration to me for my own creative efforts.

Lattimer Pines

you can find the rest of the strips on pixiv,

lin sanderson

I don't think I'll stick around. I've read Collar6 from the very beginning but I have no idea where to re-read Collar6 nowadays. After the chaos with tumblr and the migration to Patreon the strips don't make any sense to me anymore. I really liked it but I don't get anything out of it anymore - there's no comic to continously read anymore

There wasn’t an option on the poll for “actually let me raise my current $5 to $10 (but with zero expectations)”.

Pete Spicer

I’ve been reading the strip since about the Rubberball. I’m not going to bail. I’m already on the $5 level anyway.

Lomond

I don't mind the extra coiuple of dollars a month, it is completely worth it.

Gleth

I only came for C6 and I hated Collar(ed)6) so I,m probably going to bail

Perfectly understandable doing what you have to during these tough times for everybody. I think I was one of the early jumps up to the $5 tier when you introduced it, so the change isn't really affecting me anyways. Do what you have to and I will stay here until the very end. I know that there are other artists out there that produce more content and/or are better artistically, but I stick around for your storytelling, which definitely worth the price.

Jon Jory

I've been at the $5 tier for longer than I actually remember being there, since before there were tiers, certainly. Nothing is changing.

Joshua Workman

I've been here at the best of times and the worst of times. I ain't going anywhere. Please take care of yourself first. I'll be here, waiting. 😊

CryptoGore68

Nothing will change for me. I'm already there.

Stefan J Neylon

I'm already at the $5 level -- why would I stop now? (this question really only matters to those at the $3-$4.99 level.)

Great Scott

I fell in love back when C6 was a website, read through it all and fell away a bit but now I'm back and I need moar!!! I will stick around, just remember to take care of yourself, don't push if you miss things once in awhile.

Candy

Couldn't chase me off with wild ponygirls

Nitari Windrider

I’m already at the $5 level anyway so it doesn’t matter to me. Do what you need to do and don’t let it stress you out too much.

Thomas Snider

There might be other, faster creators out there, but they're no Fiona & they don't make Collar6, Collared6, Magical Rubber Maiden Julia, Rubberforce Sixx, or I Don't Want To Be a Succubi's Doll.

KF5TQN

Those other creators out there aren’t *you*, and they can’t write your story. We’re here because we like *your* content and *your* style. <3
