Like kickstarter but for webcomics

Yeah mah boy Finir linked me to a pretty interesting site .
http://www.patreon.com/
We all know kickstarter yeah? Where you can say you are making a project, get funds from people who want to see it happen.
Well this website is for on-going projects! Such as artists who make music and produce comics.
Say if i wanted to put up something with the Virgo & Castor comics.
This is different to kick starter as instead one one big donation it's a series of small donations depending on how much work I do! Hell you can give like $1 per page!
You can even set the maximum you'd be comfortable with paying per month so the site won't take all your money if i made 20 pages in the month.
They have yet to enable people to pay with paypal, it's just credit cards they use right now.
But they say it's coming soon.
This would really help me spend more time on these comics, it seems to be what's most popular here anyway!
So just wondering would you be interested in helping me keep the coloured comic's as a regular upload? Or just keep doing MOAR!
Thinking as rewards to people who pledge like a hefty amount they get to decide a sexual act they do for a page?
This is just an idea right now, I'd be ace if it became a thing, because oh my god love love LOVE doing the comics!

I think it's an interesting idea. So apparently Patreon will charge you per content that is created, up to a monthly cap. What I like about Subbable is you just pledge an amount that you choose up to 5 grand or something ridiculous, or you can buy perks that the artist has posted outright.
I think I'd prefer the latter, as it takes the guessing out. I mean with this Patreon do you get to choose whether or not you want to support a given submission, or are you charged every time a sketch gets posted? Check it out, see which you might prefer.
Partreon charges you every time i submit a page which i label as the paid content. so it won't make you pay for sketches and WIP just the final page.
You can put the perks/rewards on this site to I just have no idea what i'd give as a reward haha XD
hhmmm with subbale they say no pornography, where as patreon only say no child pornography or anything obsese...so i am not sure! Will have to see umm...what sort of comics i do.
