Like OMG WHAT?So yes, through much persuasion I have finally launched a Patreon. I really struggled with the confidence that this comic, or this genre, had enough interest in it to support me in any way. Seriously. I always dismissed people hitting me over the head telling me that I, in fact, had some viable thing going. "Look at your stats, stupid. Look at the sites mentioning your story." All the links, fan arts, and fanfic stories or credits to inspiration.. etc, etc.I know. I know. You've ALL told me to do this.Thank you for liking my work. Thankyouthankyouthankyou. Thank you for always trying to motivate me over the years, even to seemingly no avail.I honestly never felt I could break away from working various part-time gigs full-time to legit pursue this with any substantial devotion of time. This is why you always got comics once I year when I'd take some vaction time off to do them. I'm just flat busy being a wage slave. And 'personal interests' such as writing or art are pretty frowned upon in my family. Like saying you're going to be in a garage band and tour all the dive bars in your state. My family still thinks everything is the 50's. Everyone is 'supposed' to work at some big company. It's safe and, whatever... benefits.. all that. Go find a ladder and climb it. Otherwise, you're a failure. "We can't dye your wool any blacker."So what changed? I had a really long convo with a friend and they laid into me. Like hard. (lol insinuation.) Finally convinced me to take the risk and put more faith in not only my own abilities, but in my audience. And that really struck me. For all the fear I had in my own concept for a comic being taken seriously, I disconnected from seeing how much my readers liked it, in spite of all the very obvious support. I just sat in my box of self doubt, not giving YOU guys the credit you deserved. That you'd be gracious enough to support me.So okay... *deep breath*I HAVE A PATREON!The more you guys can support me, the more time I can devote to making this ..all the time. No seriously, not just in the summer. Like maybe every week! That's the hope at least. For now, it will be once a month while I'm working full-time++. As the support goes up I'll do as many as I can produce and ditch cashiering. My happy ass will just sit at the computer and work for you.I tried to think of all these tiers to pledge and such, but it was getting ridiculously convoluted and consuming. So I just limited myself to two. $15 and $30 a month. I originally started lower but I was informed by my sample group I was selling myself short. "The point is to NOT starve." So okay.You guys can obviously support me with anything, and I'll still add more frequent updates to dA.. but Patreon will have more content. I'll push the adultyness further there, and probably have to edit or shorten whatever ends up making it here on deviant art.$15 will be the full comics, posted to Patreon before anywhere else. Uncensored, etc.$30 is that comic, plus some written (text) swap story ideas I've had over the years. I'll post chapter updates every week or so. (Eventually every week.)But also, double amount means double comics. In this new one, by ridiculous demand, I make it a Choose Your Own Adventure. I have set up a discord for this, which will be linked in the $30 Patreon tier. You guys can get on discord, and comment to me what you'd like to see. I can do spin-off stories of past swaps, or we can do something new, and you guys can direct the story. I'll take suggestions, do polls, and even RNG members of the discord channel to just write the next comic. As in: "Okay so and so... you won the RNG so write me 4 panels with dialogue."These comics will be limited, and we can start fresh every few comics. They can go on as long as everyone stays interested, or I'll wrap them up and give someone new a chance to set the stage. It's up to you guys. I made this option just based on how many suggestions I get from fans of this genre. I figured it's what you guys would really appreciate the most for a return on your dollar. If this is popular enough I can attempt to do multiples.. but they will all be posted for everyone to see on Patreon.So yeah! I'm excited. But nervous. But excited.Thank you in advance to anyone and everyone willing to help me make this work. You mean the world to me, and I hope to see you over there and in discord.
