Monthly Update #7 & Poll
🕑 Added 2017-09-07 02:38:00 +0000 UTC As usual, will put TL;DR down at the bottom~-x-X-x-
Hey guys! I'm a day late this month, but eh, it's no biggie I think. Here we are in September and all I have to say is... you guys blew me away with your support in August, when I really wasn't expecting you to.
August was our first month with every higher tier filled to its cap. So, I was kind of expecting it to be pretty slow moving when it came to pledges and income increases.
Making more than a thousand a month on Patreon wasn't something I ever expected. Yet here I am, not just making more than a thousand, but making more than eleven hundred a month on Patreon. As of this posting, I'm at $1,163 a month. I'm overwhelmed once again and eternally grateful to all of you.
Not only did the cash increase blow me out of the water, but the patron increase actually broke all previous records for my Patreon. In the month of August, I got 117 new patrons. I kept 92 of you. This is officially more patrons earned in one month than any month previous. So once again, thank you so much.

Now let's talk about two very important things.
First of all, this is not meant to call anyone specific out. I am not looking to shame or judge anyone. This is simply something that more than one of my Patrons has tried in the past couple months, and I kind of have to nip it in the bud now for my own sanity.
Basically, now that my higher tiers are filled to their caps, please do not increase your patron pledge to me in order to get higher rewards, because I cannot promise you anything.
For example, if you are in Tier 3 and paying me $10, do not increase your pledge to $25 in order to try and get Tier 4 rewards, because I cannot give them to you. The same goes for the other tiers as well.
The reason that Tier 4-6 have caps in the first place is because that is specifically set up so that I have enough space in the month to finish and post one Patron Request a day from those tiers. There are only so many days in the month after all, and the Weekly Prompt Polls remove four of them right off the bat.
So yeah, that's thing #1.

Thing #2 is a bit lighter and the subject of this month's poll. Because everyone loves polls! Basically, I used to post my commissions, which is an entirely separate enterprise from my Patreon, up here as public [BONUS] pieces. Unfortunately, a couple months back I learned that posting public erotic content on Patreon is not a good idea and that my safest bet was to simply make all erotic content "Patron Only".
As a result of that, I stopped posting my commissions as bonus pieces on Patreon except in very rare cases. Recently I've been wondering if I should start doing that again and simply post all of my commissions on Patreon as BONUS pieces.
What do you guys think? This would basically mean you'd get an extra Patreon Post each day because I try to complete one Commission and one Patron Request a day. Is that over saturation or just fine in your eyes? Let me know below.
TL;DR: THANK YOU for all of the support you've shown me so far and WELCOME to the 90+ new patrons I've received in the last month. Please do not try to circumvent the caps I have in place on my upper tiers by trying to pledge more at a lower tier because I cannot give you anything for that extra money. And finally, let me know if you want me to start posting my commissions up on my Patreon as [BONUS] posts each day!
TL;DR of the TL;DR: Love you guys in a totally platonic way :3

I am amazed at how much quality you pump out. You are nothing short of an inspiration, honestly. You rock!

What I've been doing is posting my commissions up on QQ and HF without also porting them over to here. That's what the poll is for =)

Oh no dude, I've been writing that much for months now. A commission and a Patreon Post each day has been my mode of operation for about 3 months straight heh.

Super happy for you, pal! Congrats. As for the poll, as long as you feel like you can take writing that much, and that your quality won't suffer, the more stories, the better!
