Upcoming Patreon Pause: July 2021

Hallo Patrons!

As longtime patrons may recall, I took Patreon pauses in July and December 2020. These pauses are intended to give myself a small break from Patreon work, allow for some relaxation, and come back in August ready to work again [and ultimately avoid burning out!]

This upcoming July 2021 my Patreon will be paused for the entire month. Patrons will not be charged a pledge fee during this month, and no rewards will be issued. Patreon will automatically resume billing August 1. This will apply to every patron that has subscribed to my Patreon.

To answer some questions, I've compiled a small FAQ:

Q: What is a Patreon Pause?

A: This pause is defined quite literally. My Patreon will be "paused" for the entire month of July. No posts will be made, and no reward requests will be taken.

Q: Will I be billed July 1?

A: No. You will not be billed July 1, or any time in July. If you keep your pledge, it will automatically start billing again in August.

Q: Do I, a patron, need to do anything for my account regarding this pause? Will my slot be lost?

A: Nope! You don't have to do anything. The pause is automatic. Your slot will not be lost unless you manually cancel your pledge.

Q: Will you take preorders for August in June?

A: Yes! Longtime patrons may be familiar that I start to take preorders for the next month's rewards beginning on the 21 each month. Instead of July, any preorders placed in June will be for August instead.

Q: What if I first pledge in July? What will happen?

A: According to Patreon's FAQ on Pausing, you will be billed right away if you start a pledge in July. If you pledge for the $15 reward tier in July and are billed, I'll happily accommodate you and take your sticker request.

Q: I have a question that's not answered here. How can I reach you to ask about it?

A: Send your question in an email to godbirdart@gmail.com! While I won't be working on Patreon content during the month of July, I'm still always checking in on my inbox and will gladly provide answers if you need any!

Thank you everyone for supporting me and my work!
