"Catch up" and reward changes - also general update

Added 2021-03-01 01:59:27 +0000 UTC

I'm going to go through and do a re-write/simplification of a lot of areas on my Patreon page. I know people don't read it and that having too much information is just intimidating for most people. Request info will just live in the request form and so on.

---------

Playing catch-up:

-Owed updates
I do keep track of these in my personal notes.
4 of the $5 "bonus" updates are currently queued, and I will likely have more queued before those have run out.
I broke my finger in December and it's been dealing really poorly but I'm back to where I can kind of draw again, so the sketch dumps I was doing every-other week will be a thing again soon.
I currently owe a lot of the "main updates" that I was using for "dragonHearts" and I'm still using those for DH. I'll queue it up once the rest of the pages are done, I just don't want it to end up hitting a second hiatus.
I have a couple WIP animations so when my finger is fully-healed I'll get back to working on those.

-Because of the large number of owed rewards, I have CASHED OUT everyone's rewards as commission credit because keeping track of individual monthly rewards sucked. I never had a good method for keeping track of them and it just wasn't something I wanted to keep trying to deal with. Your commission credit WILL stack with your Patreon discount if you are an active patron.

-Any current patron with $25+ of support accumulated and any patron EVER with $50+ has been added to a spreadsheet. Your contributions as of March 3rd are useable as cash towards commissions and adoptables and such. There will be some exceptions with physical goods because I can't afford to foot the bill on shipping or materials.

-I have NOT deducted from your total for months where rewards were received, it's just your total as of March 3rd. Because this announcement is so late in the month, march will functionally be a double-rewards month in that you will receive both commission credit AND the new rewards.

--------------
Updates to tiers:

ALL TIERS:
-"First dibs" on commission types with limited availability (fursuits, 3D printed figures etc)
-Also first dibs on one of a kind items, like pre-made fursuits or sculptures
-discounts for most commission types. (specifically does NOT apply to pwyw because that's too much math)
-discounts for adoptables

$5[Good Tier]
-requests are now SFW restricted

$25[Great Tier]
-Rewards have been replaced with request priority. Request Priority applies to ALL platforms. (it helps if you use the same name here as you do on other platforms! otherwise you may need to remind me)
-this tier is required for NSFW requests
-While this is no longer a guaranteed monthly reward, I think the actual art delivered may end up being MORE in the longrun, because I can take the types of requests I specifically have time for WHEN I specifically have time to do them.
-The main request form will stay the same, so remember to actually fill it out
-Request priority also applies to discord and twitter, so remember to join the discord and follow me on twitter

$100 [Perfect Tier]
-I will send a monthly Patreon note about your rewards.
-Reward types will be less open-ended, you will be provided a couple art-types as options and this will vary by month.

Goal updates
just dropped a lot, I don't want to plan that far ahead.
In general, the better patreon supports me, the more time I'll put into it
