Got the website working the way I want it to. Still not complete but it’s close enough for the moment. Good enough I guess. Anyway, I’m here for a few announcements. First of all, you may notice a change to the banner up top. Let’s explain everything.
I had a more experienced Patreon user talk to me about my goals and it was very insightful. He helped me have a much better strategy for my goals as far as making more sense relative to my life. Sadly (but more realistically) this puts a lot of the original goals I posted higher. But to make up for that, I deleted the Monthly Pin-up art goal and we’re just straight going for it to start 🙂
The other thing this did was got my but in gear on my rewards system for Patreon. So here is the new rewards system:
- $1 or more: Get my thanks and content a day earlier via Patreon
- $2 or more: Get the monthly pin-up image
- $3 or more: Get the alternate monthly pin-up image (typically same as the original but with characters responding in some way)
- $5 or more: Get access to the MGP Commentary Google Doc to leave your own comments on (commence explanation!)
So I’m really excited about this last item, but it is a bit hard to explain. If you are unfamiliar with “comments” in a word document, it’s where you highlight something and there will be a blurb to the side of the document. My concept for why this would be fun is I imagine the style of commentary be a bit snarky and quippish (totally a word) in nature. Sort of a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 version of MGP chapters. But provided by YOU the Patreon contributors. If you’d like to see an example of this, the image below is how it looks and you can click on it for a larger version of the image for easier reading.
The plan (tentatively, running into technical issues at the moment) for this would be to leave each file open for commentary for about a month or two, then closing it and posting a version regular readers can download and enjoy all your hilarious comments. Also, thanks to Toby and Kami for being my beta-commentators in this process. Their quips had me laughing and I think you’ll be laughing too!
Whew! With that now all said, please take note of the NEW Patreon goal of $150 which will get MGP updating twice a month! Right now I’ve been averaging a chapter once every three or so weeks. So that’s exciting.
Thanks for reading the wall of text, hope you all are enjoying MGP. Oh! And if you are a Patreon, huge huge thanks and please send me your suggestions as for what the November image should be.
Thanks for all your love!
