Announcement: Book 10 is out! September Break! Patreon Changes!

Hello there, big announcement time with quite a few topics to cover! Three in total!

Topic 1: Book 10 Ebook is out today!

Yep, we are already all the way to book 10! Double digits, so that’s quite something.

This book marks the beginning of the beloved Nevermore arc! What more do you really need to know? Well, besides the fact that I can’t say when the audiobook will come out, something I’m certain a lot of people are wondering.

Anyway, get it today and reexperience the greatness of Minaga once more!

Topic 2: Break time in September!

Next up, I will be taking a break next month to watch my yearly Dota tournament and to just relax. As always, I will be pausing payments so no one will be charged for the month of September, meaning you can just keep your current memberships active without paying a penny (this year, at least… but more on that later).

This year, I’ll even be going to my Dota tournament in person, so that’s pretty hype.

However, when I return, there will be some changes… none of them really up to me as outlined in topic 3.

Topic 3: Patreon announcement and the effects it will have.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

I don’t know how many of you saw it, but on Monday, Patreon put out a pretty big /articles/understanding-apple-requirements-for-patreon

TLDR: Paying in the Apple IOS app will now be way more expensive, and my current payment model will be effectively discontinued by the 1st of November, forcing me to switch to the subscription model. That is to say, rather than be charged on the 1st of every month, you will be charged on the date you signed up and have 30 days from there (so for current subscribers, it won’t really change anything).

Except it will… though hopefully, something can be done about that.

The big problem comes with how pausing works on the new payment model I’ll be forced into. Right now, when I pause payments for a month to go on break (such as this September), new people can still sign up to read the backlog. With the new system, they straight-up can’t. No one new can sign up at all, which seriously sucks for more reasons than I want to get into here. What it will mean is that I won’t feel comfortable pausing for a month unless something changes, which will make you all pay for a month without any content, which will make a bunch of you understandably unsub, and it all just sucks dick.

But, as I said, hopefully, there can be a solution before I’ll take my break next year. Tonight, I’m having a meeting with the CEO of Patreon and a few others to discuss this, so let’s see what happens… oh, and I’ll also ask if maaaybe we can get a ”next post” button or something like that lol.

Anyway, with this forced change, I also see no reason not to enable Annual Subscriptions, which is exactly what it sounds like. Pay for a year and save 10% compared to just staying subbed that entire year, which will more or less equal out with my yearly break month.

As a last thing with this change… come November, if you are using the Apple IOS app, FOR THE LOVE OF VILLY, DO NOT PAY THROUGH IT! GO ON THE GODDAMN WEBSITE AND SAVE 30% ON THE PRICE THAT WOULD HAVE JUST GONNA STRAIGHT INTO APPLE’S POCKET ANYWAY. YOU CAN STILL READ AND USE THE APP, JUST DON’T PAY USING IT!

And, that’s about it. Remember that the break in September will be just like every other year, and all these changes will only matter from the time I return from my break.
