Announcement of additional benefits for $10 Tier

Added 2025-01-08 12:36:00 +0000 UTC

As promised, I've been thinking hard on how I could go about adding value to the extra generous members of my Patreon. And I think I've finally come upon a workable and sustainable solution.

Any new members to the "A cup of coffee" tier will now receive the following, in addition to existing benefits.

Chapter sneak peaks
Author commentary
Alternative chapters

Chapter sneak peaks are a peak ahead to advanced chapters. But these aren't just incomplete blurbs, I'm talking full chapters.

The caveat being that these chapters aren't plot essential chapters, so think slice of life or certain character interactions that might not be essential to the larger story.

For example, the one I plan on releasing this weekend will be the chapter where Nina captures her fourth Pokemon, a Wooper, as you guys voted on last time. The reason why this isn't entirely plot relevant is because that particular Pokemon doesn't tie into a larger arc. Hence why I'm not showing you guys the third Pokemon.

Author commentary is exactly what it sounds like. I'll provide more detailed commentary on any chapters that I think are interesting enough to warrant it.

Alternative chapters are alternative drafts of a particular story point that I decided to scrap. For example, I originally wrote a draft of Nina catching a Ponyta, which I decided to scrap before putting up that previous poll.

I also wrote a super early draft of Nina catching a Shinx, but that deviates too much from the current storyline and is too rough for me to release, so I won't.

These benefits aren't mutually exclusive. I may mix and match them in any given month because I may not have advanced chapters depending on the progress of the story, author commentary may not be interesting enough, and alternative chapters scarce because I try not to waste any of my hard work.

Thank you all once again for your generous support in filling my little tip jar.
