Update : Switching payment model to Charge Up Front (nothing changes for you guys)
Added 2021-02-19 02:04:07 +0000 UTCEvening everybody!
TL;DR : On March 2nd, I am planning on swapping things, so that people have to pay first, before getting access to the contents of my patreon. Anyone who is already a patron sees no change, and will not be billed again until March first, as is already scheduled.
* If you choose to raise your membership before march first, you'll only pay the difference between what you already paid, and that new amount.
* If you choose to lower your membership, you will experience no change, until march first.

Again : All of you, already here, won't experience any change, really.
The only people this would actually affect, would be people who newly join, after i do it, but JUST before the end of the month. They would be charged at that time, and then, on the first, at the regular billing cycle. But it will say clearly in the checkout screen that it's charge up front, and that their next billing date is very soon.
That's why i'm planning on March 2nd.
Why the change?
Aside from preventing the faces who show up for most of a month and then bail a few days before the end of the month, which i've never payed much mind, this just ensures everyone seeing the exclusive stuff has paid to do so. It's what most patreon accounts do, and I have just held off for a long time.
I'm considering setting up a patron discord at some point, too, which this would be nice to have set up for.
I also don't see myself ever changing this over to Charge Per Work, you know? I produce a lot of content that isn't Finished Comic Pages, and the support you all provide goes into the Time i spend monthly on this. And if i make the change to charge up front, it's apparently permanent.

Anyway, i'm open to hearing everyone's thoughts on this! But from where i'm sitting, it inconveniences no one, and paves the way for a community discord, if i go down that road.
Thanks for reading, and have a good night! Here's looking forward to tomorrow's Super Supporter's Sketch Suggestions~

2021-02-19 17:11:33 +0000 UTCI've long been a fan of Pay Up Front, I like artists to have their financial security. And as you noted here, it won't change anything for those of us already subscribed. I also like the idea of a Discord server. I'm already have quite a few from Patreons, but I would be quite happy to join one for this~
