Massive Huskywrites Patreon update
Added 2018-01-23 09:47:37 +0000 UTC All righty, so this is the big update I've been waiting to do for about six months. In this post I will be detailing everything by tier and I'll be talking about a lot of stuff so please read it thoroughly from start to end to make sure you don't miss any info that could pertain to you because this does affect most of everyone that is pledging to me. Also keep in mind all of these updates will be implemented on February 1st, not at the time of this journal going up because I will still be uploading things per normal for the rest of this month.
Also keep in mind that these new changes will be set in stone. From the time that they go into affect they will not be altered like this in any regard, so in a year or so you won't have to worry about this kind of thing happening again. Just to be as clear as possible. I also want you all to know that I am going to be trying much MUCH harder to stick with my new upload schedule. Not that I wasn't serious about it before, but still. Content hosted on this Patreon will continue to never be released publicly anywhere, no matter what time the content is created. The only thing that would impact this is if something happened to my Patreon, such as what happened to the Extreme Tier.
I'll be implementing a new upload schedule. This is it:
Normal Patreon story released every Monday
Premium Patreon story released every Wednesday
Platinum Patreon Story released every Friday
Voting journals every Monday will go to the following Friday
AMA journal uploaded at the first of every month.
Tier 1/$1 Tier (Tip Jar) Every single first “Meet Me” story will stay on this tier. This tier will be turned into a Tip Jar tier and will no longer have new content uploaded to it other than the conclusion of the first “Meet Me” chapters and their art. 70 stories is the target number for the “Meet Me” series which includes all Patreon exclusive ones and public ones.
Tier 2/$3 Tier This tier is going to be deleted.
Tier 3/$5 Tier (Normal) This tier will be the new host of all sequels to the “Meet Me” series. This will be the permanent tier for which all future normal, Monday stories will be hosted. This tier will also be the “One vote” tier, for which every vote on this tier is counted as one for the purpose of the voting journals. The reason I am moving all future weekly content to this tier is for two reasons:
One, I feel it is deserved. I work very hard to provide my content, and even though I am sure that I have been late on almost every upload I have promised, I did provide a story every week on average. I'll be working very hard to maintain my new work schedule.
Second, I want the tiers to be a natural progression, which will make more sense as you read this journal, but also it's meant to level some of the volatility of people jumping on and off my Patreon. Also there will be a much greater importance placed on people voting in voting journals, because for every story you vote on will determine three things at the same time: Which story will get a sequel next, which means I'll be getting art for that story, which means it will automatically determine which novel volume it will be in.
I think it's fair that the content you read is the same you get to participate and have influence over. All sequels will be continuations of the stories that I have established, and will have recurring characters that were introduced in the first stories. The fetishes that you saw in the first stories will persist through the sequels as well, so it's almost like every story had its own fetish theme that you will see returned.
Also keep in mind that the sequels made for what are considered public “Meet Me” stories will be Patreon exclusive on this tier, just because they were public to begin with does not mean their sequels will be or will ever be.
Tier 4/$10 Tier (Premium) This tier will be the new Premium tier. When the changes become implemented I will move the current premium uploads to this tier and will continue them on this tier. The reason for the increased tier amount is similar to the reasons for the increase of the previous tier and also the following. I plan on releasing a Premium story every Wednesday instead of the 1-2 uploads per month that I had been doing previously. At the moment there are two ongoing stories for this tier, The Bottomless Bar, and The Studsky. I will be uploading chapters for these stories on a staggered schedule like I have been doing with the Premium content, meaning one chapter for one story will be uploaded one week and then a chapter for the other story will be uploaded the following week. I am working very hard to get art companion pieces of every chapter to go along with each upload.
This tier will also become the double vote tier. Alongside the single voting journal there will be a double voting journal that seeks to accomplish the same thing as the single voting journal. Just like I have been doing, votes in the double voting journal will count as two.
This tier will become the Ask Me Anything tier. Since the normal Monday stories will be having sequels put with them, I will no longer be taking requests or directions for what stories I make because their fetishes, plots, characters, and worlds have all been defined. Instead, every month I will open an AMA journal for everyone on this tier and above to comment and ask either me or the characters of the Premium stories questions. Every month I will select one question to commission an art piece of the character or myself answering. I might also do this for the Premium stories, but we will see how the future shakes out.
Tier 5/$15 Tier (Platinum) Nothing is going to change for this tier, everything will continue to progress how they have been with the staggered upload of Platinum story chapters. The change that I had wanted to implement for this tier was the use of Casting Calls, so please check out the info about those here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/awesome-update-16231506 This tier will also have a considerable amount of influence over what Premium and Platinum stories will be pursued at the conclusion of the current roster. If I do an AMA for Premium story characters, this tier is where it would be hosted on.
Tier 6/$20 Tier (Direction) Nothing is going to change for this tier. At the conclusion of every Premium and Platinum story, this tier will be given the heaviest consideration for all future Premium and Platinum story ideas that I pursue.
Tier 7/$25 Tier (Signed Novels) Nothing is going to change for this tier. Those of this tier will be given equal consideration as those in the Direction tier for future Premium and Platinum stories.
I know these are a lot of changes here and I am open to all comments and suggested, but for the most part these decisions won't really be swayed. And once again, these changes will not be implemented until February 1st, 2018 and not a single day before. Thank you all so very much for staying with me through this, I love you all, and I hope you all can understand why these changes are being made.
