Hey everyone! Patreon will begin processing payments for my first group of funders on March 1st, so I just wanted to give a little report on this month’s work!
Here are a few more previews of the stuff patrons’ donations are going into making. This stuff will be posting on Patreon throughout March, but most of it will eventually be up here for free, so look forward to it!
Yay!
Also, I’ve already started planning future rewards for April and beyond, along with more original comics and fanart and extra bonuses:
I really really want to draw this coffee shop AU! But I realized that’s a lot of Hannigram and not a lot of Johnlock, so I’ve also started working ahead on a vampire AU Johnlock comic that I’m considering releasing alongside the Hannigram one. I’m going to work like crazy this month to try to get all this stuff done as far in advance as possible!
Also, I wanted to give an extra thank you to my first funders, so if your payment is cleared for March, you’ll be getting a Thank You card in the mail! This is only for the first group of patrons; I won’t be sending out this card again!
Finally, I want to talk a little about the future of this Patreon.
I’ve done some number crunching and I’ve determined that if I can reach a monthly goal of $3000 in completed payments, this Patreon will be sustainable. As most of you know, I’m attempting to do this full time, since there is no way I’d be able to run a Patreon with a regular job, so this and a small amount of freelance work are all I have right now to make a living.
I’ve given myself a time limit for this whole project, and so I’ve decided if I can’t hit that number by April 1st, then I will start to scale back or possibly shut down this Patreon and start looking for a full time position elsewhere.
So if you can fund me, even just $1 or $2 a month, it will go a long way
towards helping me reach the goal and keeping this Patreon running! This content is not just a reward for funders; they are literally paying me to make this stuff, and if I can’t make enough to live from making it, then I have to do something else.
I already have a lot of hope though; this Patreon already exceeded my expectations and I wouldn’t even be pushing into a second month if I didn’t think it had a chance. I’ll do my best this month to make it happen! Thank you so much to my funders for liking my work and helping me make more of it, and I hope we can keep doing this for a long long time!
