New Patreon Tiers
Added 2022-03-19 15:30:03 +0000 UTCHey folks, hope this finds you well during the weekend!
A little while back, you might remember that I mentioned putting together a new tier or two. I'd like to take the time to say that has indeed been the case. I've put one up now, with the other two set to come in April. Here's a list and rundown of their respective benefits:
My Thanks (£1) [NEW; Up now]
Those who pledge at this tier have my eternal thanks, as every little bit helps. Note that patrons at this tier do not benefit from the exclusive content highlighted in the Reader of Tales tier or higher. This tier is currently active.
The Reader of Tales (£4)
Those who pledge at this tier will benefit from the typical standard exclusive content (literary chapters, audios) The Reader of Tales was previously the highest (and only) tier.
The Early Bird (£5) [NEW; Published in April]
Those who pledge at this tier will not only benefit from exclusive content but early access to it. While the particulars are not yet set in stone, patrons in this tier can expect to see the content at least 48 hours prior to those under Reader of Tales. In the interest of transparency, the Early Bird tier is not yet currently active. As mentioned, I'm still working out some particulars. With that in mind, this tier will not go live until early April.
The Cabinet (£6) [NEW; Published in April]
Patrons in this tier will have access to all benefits from the previous tiers alongside access to polls. With polls, you will decide what I write next! Will we see a new chapter of Miss Mass? Perhaps it's time for something darker with Biggest Fan. And that's not all! Patrons in The Cabinet tier will have access to the Amnoartist Discord server [currently under construction] I'll be using the server to post WIPs regularly, where you can discuss and make suggestions there. In the interest of transparency: like the Early Bird tier, The Cabinet will not go live until early April. Similarly, this is reflected with the Discord server.
Closing Remarks/Price Point Concerns(?)
And that's it! The only thing worth mentioning is the price point for each tier. The buy-ins are very much in flux and definitely subject to change until April. Please do not refrain from making your opinions known on the matter. I want to make each tier as fair as possible, so be sure to either comment below or direct message me. Whichever works best.
Thanks for your time :)

That sounds like a solid solution, great work!
2022-03-20 18:29:51 +0000 UTCThere's an interesting point! I was worried there might be a split like that in the tiers, to be honest. Wasn't sure how well that would translate to the benefits and how worthwhile they would be per tier. Perhaps then the poll option should be added to Early Bird as well, with WIP sharing being the new benefit to Cabinet? EDIT: Or perhaps everyone from Reader of Tales and up gets to vote, Early Bird gets that plus early access & Discord, and Cabinet gets WIPs.

2022-03-20 12:35:03 +0000 UTCThe only problem I see in this is that it may limit interaction with the community at large. Since only the upper tier will only have an say in what can and can not be published. Don't get me wrong I can afford the rate hike, but having contrasting opinions can yield new and interesting ideas.
2022-03-19 20:11:21 +0000 UTCAt the moment I plan to have each tier go up in £1/$1 increments from Reader of Tales, so $6. But as I said, the buy-in is very much subject to change, so pending feedback may see it change. EDIT: Oh shoot, I see what you mean! Must've missed that in the edit 🤣
