6. Launching TPWCH Patreon!

It’s always been my dream as a content creator to have a Patreon, and I’m so excited to launch it and bring you new content! You can find my waitlist page here! It’ll be up in the next few weeks!

First of all, don’t freak out!

I know this may sound scary for some of you, but rest assured that non-Patrons will not lose any content you’re used to getting! Chapters will come out on the same schedule, you’ll still be getting official art here on Tumblr every now and then, and the Discord server is safe! But I have some new fun content that I’m excited to share with some of you as a reward for beta-reading for me, winning the art competition, or donating as a Patron! More on what exactly that content is will be a bit later in the post!

Not only that, I’m doing a one-month trial period! Join at $1 and get most of the benefits from ALL tiers* for the first month after my Patreon launches! It just makes sense, since I’ll still be on hiatus and won’t be offering full benefits for each tier. After the first month, content will be divided into the tiers below.

*Excludes commissions, document access, and Badges of Coolness

What’s the Patreon for?

This is no typical Patreon! While I am a ramen-eating college student like most of us content creators, I never expected to make money off this. So, I’m planning to give all of the funds raised by Patreon back into the story! When TPWCH ends (that gives us about a year!), I’ll use whatever amount we’ve raised to commission artwork for a group pic of the TPWCH cast! The more money we raise, the more characters we’ll be able to include and the more experienced the artist I can commission! I don’t have any artists picked out at the moment since there’s no telling whether commissions open now will still be open in a year. If you’re interested in taking this commission, please let me know, although I can’t guarantee that you’ll be chosen.

If we reach a amount that exceeds any reasonable price I can find, which I doubt, then I’ll keep the extra. Conversely, if we’re just a bit short, I’m willing to chip in a little of my personal money.

Okay, okay, but what kind of “content”on Patreon are you talking about?

I’ve got a ton of ideas for extra content and benefits that you’ll definitely want to have but (hopefully) won’t cause me too much extra stress! The rewards you receive will depend on the tier you’re signed up for:

$1/month - Agent 1

Early Chapters (1 week early)

Extra Sneak Peeks (3-4 in addition to the 1 Sneak Peek always posted here.)

Polls I may occasional post to decide small parts of the story!

$2/month - Agent 2

The same as Agent 1

Marie’s Badge of Coolness (a headshot that can be used as an icon or Discord sticker)

A bit extra support to help me clear those Patreon fees

$3/per month - Agent 3

Everything in Agent 1

Extra-Early Chapters (uploaded every time I use a line break)

Access to bonus docs like the Full Octoling-English Dictionary and my Splatoon song transcriptions/translations
