Patreon Changes For 2025!

Hey there everyone! I was originally planning on announcing this on Friday, but since my birthday is tomorrow, I decided that I’d rather just release it now so I can stop feeling so anxious and stressed about the announcement and try to actually enjoy the festivities haha. 

For the past year or so, I’ve been feeling like the current setup of my Patreon hasn't been working out how I envisioned it would. Despite cutting down on the stories I did per month, I’ve found myself still struggling and falling behind on account of my word counts continuing to get longer and thus the time required to proofread and edit the stories increasingly as well – which has resulted in stories being split into parts across multiple months due to time constraints and having no other options. Not only do I hate the idea of having to release a story meant for consumption in one setting instead in piecemeal fashion, but I also hate the idea of making patrons get blue-balled and paying twice the intended price for a story. 

Luckily, after much thinking and brainstorming about what would work best for everyone, I think I found a solution to these problems.

Starting January 1st, this page will be revamped to where content that’s over 6k words will be put into the Patreon shop instead of the $15 tier for individual purchase. In addition to my aforementioned problems involving deadlines, my recent poll here made it clear that people like a vast variety of things and I hate the idea of making people pay for something that they might not be personally interested in. Overall, my analysis has been that my more unique and out there concepts tend to be exclusive to the $15 tier currently, which is no doubt why the word count balloons to such extremes due to my enjoyment of writing it. This is something that has weighed on me quite frequently (especially due to my interest in doing more “out there” TF content besides standard muscle growth / jock transformations, bodysuits, and body swaps), so allowing patrons to finally have the ability to purchase these passion project stories of mine that are more unique will make me feel less stressed about pushing patrons away or feeling like I stole their money for the month by having to split it up into two parts due to deadlines.

Given how unreliable Tumblr is with releasing content (not only with the way some TF accounts get randomly banned or deleted in addition to some questionable movements within the community there), I’m aiming to make this Patreon a centralized hub of sorts for all readers of my content. As a result, this means that I’m also going to start re-releasing older stories one per month as a part of the free tier in order to showcase some of my work while also ideally convincing them to upgrade to the paid tiers or purchase a longer story from my shop. 

In regards to the other tiers, I have decided to keep the $5, $10, and $15 tiers and revamp them in a way to give patrons a better glimpse into my writing process and also have a place in which my previously-released content here can be housed. 

As of right now, here is what the tiers will look like moving forward:

In terms of other changes I’m envisioning for my Patreon as a whole, I’ve already mentioned previously in this post that I’m wanting to give my Discord a fresh coat of paint. Ideally, I want it to feel much more interactive, engaging, and exciting to encourage more posting. One thing I’m planning on doing is adding a bot to Discord in which patrons can choose special roles that will showcase their primary TF interests via colored names and organized groups on the side of the page. As always, I’m also always open to suggestions in order to help improve either the Patreon or Discord experience – so please feel free to contact me anytime either here or on Discord!

Although the shift with the $15 tier has felt extremely nerve-wracking to me, I personally know that it will be the best option for not only myself but my patrons as stories will no longer feel as rushed or possibly phoned-in due to needing to make a deadline. No longer will patrons be forced to pay for a longer story that they might not find interesting, while I’ll also be able to not be saddled with deadlines. It’s truly a win-win for everyone involved! 

I’m already feeling quite excited about the future and looking forward to creating tons of new content and trying new things.

Thanks for reading!
