Changes Coming to Patreon in January!
Added 2019-12-27 19:00:01 +0000 UTCJust a heads up! Here's what's happening in 2020:
No more polaroids! The polaroid reward in the $35 tier is being replaced with a bonus item that will change each month! It might be a sticker sheet, a postcard, a poster (or maybe even a polaroid sometimes!) This will allow me to get more creative and try some new things. I'm really excited about it!
No more Instagram! Now that we're nearing 500 Patrons, it's becoming prohibitively difficult to manually manage adding people on Instagram and removing them when they delete their pledge! Plus, now that Patreon has Lens and we have the Discord, it's starting to feel a bit redundant.
Bonjoro! New Patrons and Patrons who upgrade their pledge will get a little custom video from me via Bonjoro! We'll see how it goes, but I like how personal it is. In maybe 3 or 4 months, I'll ask for some feedback on it and we'll see how it's going!
On-time reward fulfillment! God, I hope this doesn't come back and bite me that I'm saying this, but... I'll be caught up on reward fulfillment within a week, and in 2020 I will aim to fulfill rewards on a schedule! You know! Like a real professional!
Regular special offers! Remember my winter Jester postcard last year? I'll be doing more limited special offers like that, which you, my current Patrons, will get as bonus rewards without having to do anything special! These are designed to bring in new Patrons, and I hope to do one a quarter in 2020.
More streams! So far the bonus livestreams for $5+ Patrons have been pretty random, but I'm hoping to start structuring those more in 2020 with recurring streams like Monthly Mini Mondays and more productivity streams!
These are little things, but please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about them!

Ooh ok good! π In which case I'm no longer sad about it! And that makes a lot more sense to do it that way
2020-01-18 00:28:43 +0000 UTCDon't worry, all the content that was going on the Instagram will still be going up on Patreon! Some of it will go onto Lens (the Patreon app's version of "Instagram Stories" basically) but I will also be making posts into my timeline the same way I did before. You won't be losing any content! I've already closed & deleted it, since functionally all of the content has also been posted to Patreon. And no, you don't have to download Bonjoro! I use it to make a video, and then that video is sent to the user's email for them to view :)
