Now charging Patrons up front
Added 2016-07-07 18:37:55 +0000 UTCHello all! I wanted to announce to you a change to how my Patrons are going to be charged moving forward. This change really only affects my new Patrons or those increasing their monthly payments, so, for those of you already signed up and coasting along, you shouldn't notice anything different. For those of you thinking of signing on or increasing your pledge, please keep reading.
Unfortunately, I've had a few issues with people signing up and then deleting their pledge once they've had a chance to check out the additional comics. Up until now, there wasn't too much we, as Creators, could do about it. But now Patreon has given us an option to charge our Patrons up front. Basically, you can't see anything until you've actually contributed something.
New Patrons will now be charged on the day they pledge, giving them access to all content shared with their reward tier. On the 1st of the following month, they will simply return to being charged monthly at the beginning of the month. Existing Patrons will not see any difference in their payment schedules - though their payments will now apply to the following month's work, rather than the prior month's work.
If an existing patron increases their pledge, they will be charged the difference between their last pledge value, and the new pledge value. On the 1st of the month (and every 1st of the month thereafter) they will be charged the full amount of their pledge until they cancel or edit their pledge.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Thanks!
