Upcoming Tier Pricing Change
Added 2021-02-18 21:59:29 +0000 UTCHi all,
If all goes well, I'll be making the switch to a monthly charge on March 1st. The tiers (as announced earlier) will be doubled in cost, but that won't double what you pay at the end of the month.
How is that possible?
Say you're a Faerie Egg (currently $1 per creation). At two strips a month, you were paying $2 per month. After the transition, Faerie Egg will be $2 per month. So it evens out The only exception to this is Faerie Trainee, which will move to $5 a month (but you're getting way more stuff than before). This is to align with the Patreon "standard" of $2/$5/$10 monthly tiers. (It's not exactly a standard, but it's very frequently used by a lot of webcomics.)
For obvious reasons, Patreon doesn't let creators change the cost of existing tiers. I will therefore need to create or deprecate some tiers until everyone's moved to the final ones.
Here's a list of what happens to the various tiers:
- $1/month: no rewards. Please upgrade to the $2 tier
- $2/month: this is the new Faerie Egg tier
- $5/month: this is the new Faerie Trainee tier
- $10/month: this is the new Faerie Mistress tier
- $20/month: no extra rewards; please downgrade to the $10 tier
IMPORTANT: you do not need to change your pledges until Match. I'll let you know when it's time.
I hope I made this clear and easy to understand. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post them in the comments section below.
Thanks,

Yeah, so was I, to be honest. It just didn't feel right and it wasn't hard to convince me to make the switch.
