Patreon Changes...December/January Christmas Gift!

A few things...

First, after talking with the Tier 7 Patron, they've taken an interest in my "Good Girl Gone Bad" story and stated as long as my "juices are flowing" and there is at least one story progressing, they did not mind swapping my Lifeguard story as the Secondary story, and placing Good Girl as the Primary.  So now Tier 2 patrons can read it as well!

Second of all, I realize November has been a slow month...and December, with the holidays and end-of-the-year work load increasing, writing is going to be hard to come by.  As such, I am making a few changes to the DECEMBER and JANUARY Patreon Tier changes to compensate.

For all DECEMBER and JANUARY pledges, I will be giving you access to a ranked tier higher than what you are paying for!  So if you are a Tier 1 patron, you will have Tier 2 access, if you are a Tier 2 patron, you will get Tier 3 access, and so on.

Tier 3 Patreon supporters will get a FREE MONTH of Tier 3 access as long as you pay for Tier 1 access.  The way Patreon works, I need to keep track of "active" patrons so by lowering your payment from the $10.00 to $1.00 payment, you will still get Tier 3 access for that month once the $1.00 pledge goes into effect.

As an alternate...if the Tier 3 person continues to pay for Tier 3 support, I will give them Tier 4 privileges, which means they can suggest a scene/outfit/whatever to incorporate into a story as way of thanks.

So in summary, here is what will change:

  • Tier 1
    • Gets Tier 2 access (a $4.00 savings)
  • Tier 2 
    • Gets Tier 3 access (a $5.00 savings)
  • Tier 3
    • Gets a FREE MONTH if you pay the Tier 1 fee (a $9.00 savings)  
    • OR will get Tier 4 privileges (a $15.00 savings)
Again, this is my "Thank you!" for your continued support and apologies for the slow months.

Also, the reason I am including JANUARY patrons as well, is since it is already the end of the month, people may not see this posting until after the billing cycle takes effect through Patreon and I want to be fair.  Once the December payments take effect, I'll be bumping everybody up who's support has been processed for December and doing the same with January's billing.  Also, for those who have held off pledging and want to see how things operate, they will get the added bonus of getting an extra tier!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Not much going on...

There have been some updates to my new "secondary story" Good Girl Gone Bad; however, I still haven't had much time to sit and work on the Primary story.

Part of that is due to the recent release of Fallout 4, LOL...I've been addicted to the game since release, even taking a a day off work to play, hehehe.  I've played all the Fallout series, so this was a long awaited release  ;)  But as such, both my graphics and writings have suffered...so hopefully once the addiction wears down a little I'll be back to writing.

I still take a few breaks here and there and jot down some of the secondary story, but again, those are only 10-30 minute breaks where sinking into a long plot line are not conducive...by the time I get into the swing of things, my "break" is over.  But soon...the holidays are upon us so that means more alone time for me, as working in retail, my son will be working LOL!

November Dropbox Permissions (Patreon) set and Update

First, I want to thank ALL of you for your patronage!  Whether you support me through Patreon or even by coming to this site and checking on updates and making comments or e-mails, I do appreciate it.  It's been a rough month story-wise due to my system crashing, but I am finally back up and running.

I have set the permissions for the Dropbox folders for Patreon patrons.  As I've mentioned in the past, it is easier to remove the shares and then re-add them than to edit them person-by-person, so I apologize for the Dropbox e-mail spam you'll be getting.

Everybody should have the correct permissions based upon what Patreon states you pledged and were charged for this month.  There were three people who's payments were declined, so I put them as Tier 1 people until that is resolved.

There should be some newness in terms of the SECONDARY story, and now that things are finally back up and running, I plan on working on the PRIMARY story starting today (Monday).  It's been a rough couple weeks and this weekend I had too many errands to get much done, but now that things are somewhat normal in terms of the computer, I can once more get into the swing of things!

New computer has arrived!

New computer arrived at my mother's Friday, and God Bless her, she sent it overnight and arrived Saturday morning at 10am!

I've been spending both days installing everything back on to it.  I still have a ways to go, but I now have Office 2013 installed as well as Daz Studio.  Got most of my highly used applications installed, but have spending an inordinate amount of time getting them back to where I want, LOL.  A lot of it are tweaks I've done over time and it's taking forever to figure some of them out  ;)

By next weekend I should be all set and putting the nose to the grindstone!
