Hey everyone,
IRIS is officially live. This feels like the right moment to do a proper write up of where things stand, what's changed, and what your support actually gets you now.

*What is IRIS?*
For anyone who's been here a while but hasn't used her yet — IRIS is a custom AI image generation bot built exclusively for this community. You describe a character or scene in plain English, she generates it and posts it in my style. No prompting knowledge required. She lives on my Discord server and handles everything from a queue to delivery automatically.

*Patreon Tier Changes*
I've altered Patreon Tiers to now work around IRIS, each tier gets monthly image credits. OCs and Pre-writes are now baked into one system called Patreon Points. You can exchange 1 Patreon Point for either 1 OC, or Pre-write...see more about Automated Pre-writes below.
> Supporter — $1/month — 100 credits — 0 Points
> More Supportive — $5/month — 500 credits — 1 Point
> Patron — $15/month — 1,500 credits — 3 Points
> IRIS Enthusiast — $25/month — 2,500 credits — 4 Points
> IRIS Unlimited — $50/month — Unlimited credits — 5 Points
Credits cover standard image generation only on success, failed generations (happens sometimes) do not charge to your account. On the 1st of each month, your monthly credits are ADDED to your account, not reset. Patreon points are RESET each month. Important difference.
To sync your tier, just DM IRIS in the server, hit *Link Patreon*, and enter your Patreon email. Your credits and Points apply instantly.

*Pre-Writes are now fully automated — this is the big one*
Pre-writes are now no longer tied to my ADHD ass. I've fully automated them with IRIS:
1. *DM IRIS and hit Pre-Write* — costs 1 Patreon Point
2. *Select your OC* — choose which character you want to run the batch for
3. *Enter a Template ID* — templates are curated scene and outfit setups (think `cafe_scene`, `sunset_beach`, etc.). Browse the pre-writes channel in the Discord for the full list with previews
4. *Submit and wait* — IRIS queues your job and DMs you a download link when the full batch is ready and then DMs you a download file delivered via Cloudflare R2

If you haven't joined the Discord yet, I would highly encourage you do, that's where all of this lives now. Everything — IRIS, the pre-writes channel, your OC management — runs through the server. The invite link is below. IMPORTANT: You don't need to participate in the server if you don't want too, you can just use this as your way of getting access to your Pre-writes and DM me for your OCs, but I am heading pretty much exclusively into Discord to manage these benefits.
I will still post semi-regularly with the zip files of my generated images here, and if that's all you're here for no worries at all. However, I definitely recommend you check out the discord, the community is actually rather welcoming and helpful, and it's now how you get a lot of your perks.
Thanks for all your support.
