Patreon Changes For 2025!

Hey there everyone! I was originally planning on announcing this on Friday, but since my birthday is tomorrow, I decided that I’d rather just release it now so I can stop feeling so anxious and stressed about the announcement and try to actually enjoy the festivities haha. 

For the past year or so, I’ve been feeling like the current setup of my Patreon hasn't been working out how I envisioned it would. Despite cutting down on the stories I did per month, I’ve found myself still struggling and falling behind on account of my word counts continuing to get longer and thus the time required to proofread and edit the stories increasingly as well – which has resulted in stories being split into parts across multiple months due to time constraints and having no other options. Not only do I hate the idea of having to release a story meant for consumption in one setting instead in piecemeal fashion, but I also hate the idea of making patrons get blue-balled and paying twice the intended price for a story. 

Luckily, after much thinking and brainstorming about what would work best for everyone, I think I found a solution to these problems.

Starting January 1st, this page will be revamped to where content that’s over 6k words will be put into the Patreon shop instead of the $15 tier for individual purchase. In addition to my aforementioned problems involving deadlines, my recent poll here made it clear that people like a vast variety of things and I hate the idea of making people pay for something that they might not be personally interested in. Overall, my analysis has been that my more unique and out there concepts tend to be exclusive to the $15 tier currently, which is no doubt why the word count balloons to such extremes due to my enjoyment of writing it. This is something that has weighed on me quite frequently (especially due to my interest in doing more “out there” TF content besides standard muscle growth / jock transformations, bodysuits, and body swaps), so allowing patrons to finally have the ability to purchase these passion project stories of mine that are more unique will make me feel less stressed about pushing patrons away or feeling like I stole their money for the month by having to split it up into two parts due to deadlines.

Given how unreliable Tumblr is with releasing content (not only with the way some TF accounts get randomly banned or deleted in addition to some questionable movements within the community there), I’m aiming to make this Patreon a centralized hub of sorts for all readers of my content. As a result, this means that I’m also going to start re-releasing older stories one per month as a part of the free tier in order to showcase some of my work while also ideally convincing them to upgrade to the paid tiers or purchase a longer story from my shop. 

In regards to the other tiers, I have decided to keep the $5, $10, and $15 tiers and revamp them in a way to give patrons a better glimpse into my writing process and also have a place in which my previously-released content here can be housed. 

As of right now, here is what the tiers will look like moving forward:

• Free Tier – This tier will provide one free “vault” story from my pre-2025 Patreon library of content. In addition, this tier will also include short teasers of completed full-length content released to my Patreon shop in hopes of encouraging purchases from anyone in this tier or higher. 

• $5 Tier – In addition to everything from the previous tier, this tier will provide patrons access to my Discord (which will also be silently undergoing a revamp throughout the month to become a bit more streamlined and inviting for conversation). As another benefit of this tier, members will get access to a library of photo captions and mini-stories. Finally, members will also have the ability to vote in polls that will decide the story created for the $10 tier.

• $10 Tier – Members of this tier will receive all prior benefits in addition to full access to all 130 stories I’ve written and released to Patreon. Additionally, patrons of this tier will also receive one monthly story that will range between 3-6k words. The story written for this tier will be decided via polls that all paid patrons will have the ability to partake in and thus make their voices and desired transformations known. The only exceptions to this rule will be during January and February as I have already written two stories in advance.

• $15 Tier – With this final tier, patrons will have the ability to personally request ideas for the $10 story. Members will also have an exclusive Discord role which will provide access to a channel where they can share their story suggestions. Every month (starting in February once enough ideas have been suggested), I will then pull two of those ideas along with one or two of my own and put them on the $5 poll that everyone is able to vote on. The winning idea of that poll will then get written and the patron who suggested it will get a special shout-out and thanks at the time of release! Additionally, given the fact that this tier will no longer receive a dedicated story due to my shift to releasing long-form content to the shop, I’ve come up with a way to hopefully allow patrons a better glimpse into my writing process. At the end of each month, I will be providing a document which compiles several snippets from the various longer stories I’m working on. In addition to giving a glimpse into my writing progress over the course of the month, patrons will also get an early first taste of future store content and see the early drafting stages of my content (as messy as it may become). Finally, in addition to getting these early glimpses at upcoming stories, patrons of this tier will also receive a 15% off code to use for any long-form store content I release in the future.

In terms of other changes I’m envisioning for my Patreon as a whole, I’ve already mentioned previously in this post that I’m wanting to give my Discord a fresh coat of paint. Ideally, I want it to feel much more interactive, engaging, and exciting to encourage more posting. One thing I’m planning on doing is adding a bot to Discord in which patrons can choose special roles that will showcase their primary TF interests via colored names and organized groups on the side of the page. As always, I’m also always open to suggestions in order to help improve either the Patreon or Discord experience – so please feel free to contact me anytime either here or on Discord!

Although the shift with the $15 tier has felt extremely nerve-wracking to me, I personally know that it will be the best option for not only myself but my patrons as stories will no longer feel as rushed or possibly phoned-in due to needing to make a deadline. No longer will patrons be forced to pay for a longer story that they might not find interesting, while I’ll also be able to not be saddled with deadlines. It’s truly a win-win for everyone involved! 

I’m already feeling quite excited about the future and looking forward to creating tons of new content and trying new things.

Thanks for reading!
