Patreon Change and Plan for 2019
🕑 Added 2018-12-04 20:36:53 +0000 UTC [Long Read Ahead!]Hello there people~! I want to make an announcement for the upcoming changes and plans regarding patron content and rewards distribution. The goals for this change are:
1. To have a fair environment and condition to all paying patrons with their processed pledges.
2. To have a better content and rewards distribution
To achieve my goals above, I decided to make the change below after thinking about it for a while:
1. Charge Up Front Payment
In short:
-> This change won't affect existing patrons (As long as you're not changing your tier pledge), you'll be still be charged on the 1st of the month like usual~
-> New patrons will be charged immediately the day they became a patron, and then every 1st date of the month like usual.
-> If you're increasing your membership tier on the following month, you'll be charged immediately the difference between your recent payment and new membership value.
(Example: You're a Gold patron ($12/mo) and just paid your pledge at the beginning of the month. Then you decided to increase your tier to become a HeartGold patron ($15/mo), you will be charged $3 immediately. After that, you'll be charged $15 on every 1st of the month thereafter like usual.)
You can check the full illustration from Patreon on this link: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/210291283
The reason I made this change is because the number of people cheating the system is increasing at alarming rate that it became unbearable. Some examples that are happened to me since I made Patreon:
- Some people cancel their pledge exactly at the end of the month just before getting charged for their pledge. So they took all current month contents (And even previous month contents) and leave. Even some of them can pledge again on the next month without being charged anything.
- Like point #1, some people pledge a high tier (HeartGold) and edited their pledge to the lowest tier (Bronze). They pay $1 and then change to high tier again, so they get HeartGold rewards with Bronze tier price.
- Some people skipping a month (or more) payment to get 2 months or more contents. So they pledge on the 1st month and pay. Then at the end of 2nd month they cancel their pledge, this way they get 1st and 2nd month contents with only 1x month payment. After that they pledge again on 3rd month and continuing the cycle.
Conclusion: Current condition is not fair to the other patrons who keep and pay for their pledge on every month. So with the up front payment enabled, those people can't cheat the system anymore to keep a fair Patreon condition and environment to all patrons like my goal #1.
The charge up front payment will be effective tomorrow, just before I post my monthly Patreon content preview and credits on my public sites.
2. Dropbox Links (Contents) Distribution Method Change
The current month contents will have staggered release schedule plan as usual. The Dropbox links will be available/active until at the end of the month, then the links will be unavailable/removed on the 1st date of next month. All the contents will be released from 1st-3rd week of every month to give you enough time (About a week) to view and download them.
In case you're a patron from previous month and missing some contents, you can message me for it and I'll give you the missing contents personally.
For HeartGold patrons: The previous month contents will be available on "Old and Previous Contents" folder on Dropbox after 2 months time difference from the current month.
The reason of this change is to prevent people cheating the system to get 2 months contents by skipping a month payment. Illustration for HeartGold patrons (Please forgive my epic handwriting XD):
A is a patron that keep paying for his pledge every month.
B is a patron that skipping one month payment in between.
At March; A spent a total of $45 and get 3 month of contents. B spent a total of $30 and get 2 month of contents since the February contents are not available for B until April on "Old and Previous Contents" folder on Dropbox. It's a fair situation for both A and B as HeartGold patrons.
This Dropbox distribution method change will be starting effectively on January 2019~
---------------------------------------
And now for my 2019 plan:
1. I'm planning of doing a live streaming session occasionally (1-2x a month maybe) via Google Hangout where you can ask questions to me as one of the girls, chatting with me as the girls, giving inputs and feedback. Since Hangout video group call is limited to 10 persons including me, I'm gonna limiting it to HeartGold and Platinum patrons first. If it's got popular then I'll consider buying a plan to have a larger video group call (Conference meeting) to accommodate Gold patrons too.
2. Since the production time for new suits got a lot longer, I'm considering of trying Kigurumi. So I can cosplay as a naughty herm/futa girls from games/anime such as Widowmaker from Overwatch and 2B from Nier Automata~ This way I can entertain you guys with a lot more variety of characters while waiting for the new latex girls. ;D It's still a plan though, I'll discuss with you guys more about this later on Discord.
---------------------------------------
I hope you all can understand that the changes are needed for my current Patreon conditions with people who cheating the system. Thank you very much for your time to read this long announcement and thank you again for your continuous supports to me!
I'll work hard to bring more, better, and unique contents for you all in the future!

Didn't thought people could cheat the system like that, good thing that you're doing something about it.
