A consultation for VIP members (Updated for missing option!)

Update: I realized I should've added the option "I'm fine either way", but I guess not voting kinda accounts for it? at least I'll take it that way in the end!

-----

I've been pondering about this for a couple years now, and I want to hear your opinions before committing to any change. I already talked with some of you on Discord, but I'll appreciate your views in the comments for this post too, if you can.

 I want to start over my Patreon from scratch, for a fresh new beginning with everything I know now. Kinda like a New Game+ thing.

I won't bore you with details, but as a boomer, I need to spend a bit more time on my IRL relationships to keep them healthy. Even though I'd love to just draw 24/7, that would just be irresponsible towards my family and friends. On the other hand, doing less work would be irresponsible towards my followers and supporters. 

A good solution is changing my Patreon Campaign in a way so instead of being charged each month, you'll be charged only when I release a pack. This is a good middle ground, since I can work at a my own pace, and you'll be charged accordingly, only when I deliver.

The biggest problem though, is that I can't make that change seamlessly. I'll be forced to create a new Patreon, and ask all of you to remove your current pledge here, and pledge at the new one. Surely a nuisance, but unfortunately there's no other way. 

And, since this is a huge change, I wanted to consult with you guys first, to see what are your thoughts, potential concerns, or ideas. It's all welcome!

Some questions you might have:

• What will happen to this Patreon campaign then?

Even if I remind everyone about this change on every post, I assume some people will still remain here for diverse reasons. I plan to keep updating this patreon regularly during a couple months, and then, if there's still people, I'll just post once a month with content + reminder to switch over. Eventually it could remain as some sort of Legacy Archive, I guess.

• What content is going to be on the new campaign?

Content would be mostly the same, it's just that I'll charge once a Reward pack is finished, instead of when the Month is finished. That means instead of rushing the content to meet the monthly deadline, I can give the pieces the time they need, whenever I can.

• What will happen to current tiers?

I'll keep the prices as they are ($2, $5, $10) on the new campaign, with the same rewards. Probably gonna add some higher tiers too, for the Oil Prince demographic.

• Will I be charged twice if I switch over?

A per-creation campaign charges only on the 1st every month, so you won't be charged until then. It should be like a regular payment.

• Will you do requests on the new campaign?

I need to finish the current backlog first. Once that's finished, I'll think about the request situation.

• Are we beautiful?

You're all precious light beings to me.

• What will happen to old rewards?

For all patrons currently on the $10 tier, I'll send a link with all the work from 2020 and 2021, as a token of appreciation for your wonderful support. For people on lower tiers, I was thinking on doing discount Gumroad packs.

• What about longer projects, such as comics or games?

I honestly don't know how to go about those. I really want to do more of that though, but I'm not sure about how to integrate it on the reward flow neither on this or a new campaign. Any ideas are more than welcome.

As always, I'm deeply thankful for your support. Sorry about the mega folder linkage mishap. I'll try to fix that soon, somehow. Also, there's some nice buttocks scheduled for tomorrow! (It's already out!)
