FAQ & Guidelines

GUIDELINES

Discussion

• Do not post commercial advertising/links that are not relevant to discussion. This includes, but is not limited to invites, Contests, Giveaways, Raffles, channels, campaigns, art/link spamming, and posting without engaging.
• For critique, please specify if you are looking for it or not at the beginning of your post, and please respect each other’s wishes. Be specific about what you want feedback on. Simply asking "What do you think?" is not specific enough.
• Don’t feed the trolls.
• Do not impersonate or represent the artist.
• Credit creators if you are posting or referencing links or images from elsewhere.
• Please avoid using loaded words like “not good enough,” “worthless”, “bad” when referring to others, you, or your own work.
• Discussions considered way off-topic for a thread will be flagged.
• Do not attempt to act as a censor. The community does a great job of letting the artist know of flagged content or behavior.

Harrassment

• I do not tolerate any rude, insulting, harassing, flaming, gaslighting, excessive mentions, or threatening behavior towards another.
• Be careful of your personal information and that of others.

NSFW

• NSFW content is not permitted. This includes but is not limited to pornographic images, extreme violence, and highly suggestive content.  Content will be removed once with a warning and a block for repeat offense.

Warnings and Bans

• You will be warned on first offense. Blocked on the second. If there has been a mistake, you may email the artist to discuss. 

Please use common sense. Even if something is not listed here, it doesn't mean you can or should do it. If something you posted has been deleted and you want to know why or you notice someone breaking one of the rules, please notify me or Patreon's customer support depending on the type of offense.

FAQ 

What is the pledge model?

If you choose to support me you will have the option to pledge; $1, $5, $12, or $50.  
I have a "per Month" page which means that supporters will be charged once a month in the amount they have pledged. If there is an issue with payment please message me or Patreon customer support depending on the type of concern.

How do I contact you?
The fastest way to reach me for Patreon related questions is through Patreon DM. For business inquiries you can reach me at jessicafongart@gmail.com, but they may take me some time to respond to. 

What does the Afternoon Tea Party community include?

When you pledge you instantly receive membership to the Afternoon Tea Room: exclusive Discord channels. The continued pledge per month allows for you to access the "coaching/mentorship" features with me. The initial pledge covers a intro consultation with me to discuss your work, what you want to achieve/pursue, and how I can support you. If you decide to discontinue pledging after the first billing cycle, you may resume the mentorship by re-pledging at any time or pledging to a lower tier, but space or open slots may be limited if you decide to continue the Majestea Tier later. A member gets out of this what they're willing to put in, I'm here alongside you on your journey.

Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand. – Shel Silverstein
