Patreon poll thing--please vote!


Poll for Patreon -- please vote!

So this thing? I'd like all people who see this blog post to please vote, and if you're not sure what to choose, just go ahead and choose option 0$. Based on the results of the poll I'll fine tune some of my reward ideas and how often I am going to promise to get written material out. I'm thinking of pacing myself at a story a month but that is much slower than I want to go.

I need a thousand dollars in about two weeks so I'm going to have to borrow money from people I know irl to try and make ends meet. I lost my job recently and am scrambling for a new one, but, I'm sure many of you know how that can get. It doesn't help I have to move out at this same time.

In any case, the fact I'm in such trouble made me decide I need to get my patreon ready to go immediately, whether I feel prepared for that responsibility or not. If nothing else I could use it as a sort of tip jar.


Okay, first off--I'm going to guess that I will only get 10 dollars, if that, off of patreon for a long time. I have no illusions of this helping to improve my life in any meaningful way for a long time. Rather, the sooner I make it, the sooner I can start building off of it. If nothing else, it will give me more motivation to keep up with what I want to be doing instead of letting myself get roped into pointless bullshit with family.

The other thing I want this poll to help inform me of is what sorts of tiers people will want to be looking at. I'm thinking early access links to a dropbox or something for stories, but, I know that can be obnoxious and irritating to some people, maybe even pretentious. I dunno, let me know if something like that sounds fun or fair--but my problem is it would rely on the honor code to work.

I cant put any of my stories on patreon until I write something that has no explicit content, so non-sexual soft vore or something... I don't like writing that myself, but I might for some kind of community award.

Which brings me to the 5 dollar option. I was thinking that 5 dollar backers could, I dunno, do like this monthly voting thing where they all pitch and vote for a short-story idea and I write that? It wouldn't be a good option unless my patreon was actually making enough money that the work was worth it (I'm going to need to be working 60 hours a week as is once I find two+ jobs). I could possibly make it like an interactive story like what I did with the pony vore thing by estee on writing.com. Except I'll be writing the responses (or at least editing them if people want to write some of their own.)

10 dollar. Jeez. I doubt a single person would pick it, but if I did get one or two people giving something like that, that'd be great. I dunno what sort of reward to offer though. I can't imagine anyone giving anymore than that, so I can't say I could even begin to come up with something above that other than just saying "why don't we do a commission instead". Or maybe raffle a commission away?

In either case all rewards and actual material I produce after the patreon is set up will have to be set up off of patreon--they won't allow my stuff on their servers, on the patreon page itself.

EDIT: Pay-walling is not my priority or first choice of patron advantages. I'd rather go with whatever seems like the smartest way to let patrons enjoy actually helping me, and make being a patron appealing to non-patrons.

I know there is this one person I watch who does art, and they do this thing on Patreon where they have a comic going. Sameish time each month, they let their patron members vote, the tier they're in  determining how many votes. Whatever is voted on, is the way the next picture goes, then they upload it here for everyone. Something like that maybe?

Yeah sounds about right. Speaking of which I would be involved in a comic sometime this year, but its not a pervy comic.
