Hey everyone,
I've been getting an overwhelming amount of questions on my socials asking why my Patreon is closed, when I’ll reopen it, if I’ll continue xyz thing, etc.
So for my sanity, I'll be keeping my Patreon open as a tip jar + archive for select rewards. (Luckily on May 6th, Patreon finally introduced the feature that lets creators change existing tiers' pricing.)
It'll of course still be used as an official announcement page.
I'll be making these changes on May 20th. The billing is paused now but it means on May 20th, it'll restart.
Publicly the Angels and Archangels tier will be closed, but internally I'll change it to $1/mth tip jars. Because according to Patreon's FAQ, you might still get billed the original amount even if I close it? Pretty weird.
Old Angels/Archangels tier members will still get access to old rewards. But you're more than welcome to save the files now.
If you don't want to be billed at all, please cancel your subscription now and/or stay subbed as a Free Member.
No new rewards after end of May.
New Principalities will only get access to the old spice awards and the PSD files.
I'm sorry for the abrupt changes! 🥺🙏
But again, I'm getting too many messages about this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've already began making some of the changes, like moving the Modern AU pages as a digital zine on my shop, as well as finding an new place for the 98.6F digital collections.

Other update news:
Bloom and Zoom: I'm working on new pages for the remainder of May, but sadly I'm still burnt out 😔 Sorry, everyone. My goal was to finish BnZ soon and get it printed in time for Anime NYC and LACC, but rest in pieces. I'll try my best though!
Large Acrylic Stand: A lot more people showed interest than what I'd expected, thank you!
Good news is that someone has recommended me a lower priced manufacturer, and I'm now waiting to receive a sample.
If everything looks good, then that means the standee will be priced lower than my initial estimates.
I'll keep you updated and show you pics when the sample comes!
Size wise, it's a very close call. The larger size has slightly more votes.
Thanks everyone!
Best,
hakei
