Community and The Mission

If I went back in time to tell my past self that I'd have a platform like Resonite to enjoy ASFR every day and a whole community of enthusiasts that I can share my days with, I wouldn't have believed it! I was shy, not sure where to go, and I had no idea how to participate in anything.
Most importantly, I didn't want to miss out on anything. ASFR was as vital to me then as it is now. And right now I feel that there's probably a lot of people out there who feel the same. We want to be aware of all potentials with ASFR as it grows and grows.

Without this Patreon, I wouldn't have the time to put my efforts into Resonite and the community. I'd have to work a full time job. Free time would be a few hours on a couple days of the week and I wouldn't want to spend them working on things. A single trap or tool can take dozens of hours of focus and work. An event is taxing and puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the host to provide and administrate a good time for free for many people all at once.
But thanks to my patrons and the financial aid they give me, I now can comfortably spend the majority of my days and time focused on the ASFR community and Resonite work! Opportunities become available for everyone, thanks to their contribution to this 'second job'!

But with the Patreon comes some questions: What does this change? What do patrons get that non-patrons don't?
What I really want everyone to understand is that this Patreon is the means to keep me afloat IRL, not the means to buy my friendship or reap benefits. You get to be directly responsible for all the content and media I make! I could not do it without you!
Guarantees are your direct benefit. You absolutely deserve them! I want to make sure you actually get to see and experience the outcomes of what you're financially supporting, so I will absolutely give priority to making sure my patrons can access everything. This does not mean patrons are the only ones that get benefits. If a non-patron wants some of the benefits offered here then I will do my best with those that ask and I want to spend time with.

For Events, patrons have priority in a first-time go at the event. I hope it makes sense that this is not "buying their way in", but my personal offer of thanks to them for allowing me to be able to host an event in the first place. Second-time attendees for events have less priority in fairness. Finally, when the event is active and there is a space open, I will ask the present attendees to invite anyone they would like to make up the vacancy. I will not be sharing public events for meet-ups in the House of Stone because it is too large of a community, and there is no good way to have a group of 10 chosen out of a group of 100's. Resonite cannot support that many, and nor can a good time.

The "Grey's Works" Discord is for patrons only. It's the way to see my works in progress, so they can offer input and suggestions. They deserve to see that, because it's what they're directly paying for. I may stream as I work there so they can see my effort for their support. They can get access to works-in-progress for the same reason, but only ever works-in-progress. All completed projects are available to everyone for free via the Petrification folder.
I personally do not want to share all my works in progress with everyone because it overwhelms me. Many people are interested to test, to give feedback, to make suggestions, to be part of the work as it happens, and I simply don't want a lot of that. The Discord limits the availability of my workflow to those who are paying for it to happen. It's not "a new community". It's a testing grounds and a way to get firsties with the rare events I do.

My priority is always going to be on the monthly project that patrons vote on. I dearly want to fully realize many of our greatest ASFR fantasies one-at-a-time. That's what each of these projects are: the means for everyone to have their hands on a wonderful experience. These are only exclusive to patrons in a work-in-progress form they can easily access, but anyone can ask me to show/share what I've got so far! It never hurts to ask!

I hope this clears up some things. I would hate to know anyone feels like I'm trying to use this to make money I don't need. My love of the fetish is not a money making opportunity. I have no desire to split the community, I'm only trying to find fair ways to honor those who are making sure I can be a part of it.
