Announcements to One and All

Greetings everyone! This is an announcement for two new updates that will be coming to Patreon. Please be sure to read on, as these are both fairly important.

First! I want to thank everyone who participated in the poll on Patreon about Charge Up-Front. The votes came in at a fairly overwhelming split of 73/27% in favor of the change. So, starting the first of August, I will be enabling Charge Up-Front. Let me take this moment to reiterate the pros and cons of Charge Up-Front. 

Pros: You can get rewards sooner, such as the 15 and 20 dollar tiers or higher. If you increase your pledge or pledge to one of those tiers, it will be charged instantly and I will be notified so that I can send those out.

Cons: This can be a doozy if overlooked. If you pledge near the end of the month, you will be charged TWICE. Once for when you pledge, and another time once the cycle renews if you haven't edited your pledge by then. 

Note, this only applies to new Patrons. There will be no additional charges made for existing patrons. For those new patrons that are accidentally double charged, I will do my best to refund the initial charge on request so that you are only charged once. This applies to any Patreon that pledges within the last seven days of the month, and they can only ask for the refund at the beginning of the new month, to prevent the possibility of unpledging before the billing cycle.

Now, for the second part of this announcement! I recently held an interest check on RRL, and have decided that I will be doing an in-character Q&A for World Keeper! This is your chance to get to know more about the characters you're reading about.

The format for this Q&A will be in the notes of a chapter. This little text area that is used typically to thank new patrons. Obviously, this will not be a canon thing, as the gods, goddesses, and deceased mortals of World Keeper won't just receive mysterious fanmail in the story! However, the answers will all be handled normally by the characters. If you want to ask Terra what her favorite food is, why Udona doesn't get out more, or anything else, read the rules below!

The Rules: There is a limit of 3 questions per person. Questions may be asked by Patrons and Non-Patrons alike. Simply send the question to me as a private message, either over Patreon itself, or Discord. If you send more than 3 questions, I will choose 3 from the list. In your questions, please state who they are addressed to, as otherwise that could cause a rather awkward scenario. I will not be choosing questions from a public source such as replies to this or other posts.
