Radiance Tier Perma-sale
Added 2025-07-15 05:36:29 +0000 UTCHi patrons & readers! Thanks for supporting Sunspot! This post is to notify you that I'm dropping the price of Radiance tier (the main advance chapters tier) back down from $10 to $5.
Why: Back in May, I raised the price of Radiance tier from $5 to $10 (only for members who signed up after that, of whom there are about 30), in accordance with tripling the chapter backlog. Now that we've had a few months of that, the numbers say that it hasn't really worked out, and I feel kind of bad for having raised the price at all. $10/mo works for some stories, but $5 seems to be better for the specific ones that have audience crossover with Sunspot, such as Katalepsis.
So I'm putting the tier on... permanent sale, I guess you could call it, effective immediately. This is good news for you all! Radiance tier will still get the same number of advance chapters and other rewards, this is purely a price reduction.
For those of you who are supporting at the current $10 price, I believe Patreon will automatically lower your pledge, but if it doesn't, make sure to change it yourself or reach out to me. There's no pressure to stay at the current pledge; I've already calculated that I'll be fine taking the minor immediate hit to income (around $130/mo after taxes) if all of you were to lower your pledge.
That's pretty much the whole announcement. Thanks to everybody who supports Sunspot and my ability to write it, it means the world to me.
