Other Patreon Changes (site-wide)

Patreon will soon be rolling out "anniversary billing" which means creators who opt for a up front payment model (like yours truly) will see a different way of getting payments. Namely, that patrons will only be billed on the day of the month they sign up.

In the past, those who have joined near the end of the month were charged up front and then again on the 1st - but I have given these patrons the previous month's Goodie Bag as well as the next month's Bag as this made the most sense.

I'm hoping that Patreon will allow patrons to choose when to be billed as well. I would hate to have you all reconsider your pledges just because you'll be charged on a different day than usual, having to restructure your bills around it.

I'm not sure now how this will affect my monthly schedule but I will keep you all posted when these changes come and how I will change my model, if needed.
