If I opened a patreon and/or commission slots...

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe - Carl Sagan Would anyone be interested?
I bring this up because I'm completely out patience for my current job and looking for other options. I know I'm not going to make anywhere near enough off the bat to fully support myself, but I would like to blunt the blow to my savings while I look for something more permanent at least.
I've got a rough idea.of what the patreon would look like, but I'd need work out some details before it's ready to go. Mostly, I know that everything (with the possible exception of exclusive stories, if this were to go anywhere layer on) would be free eventually. I like the early access model more than the full paywall model. Beyond that, I'm not sure.
I'd be interested in reworking my commission rates too. I think it was $10 per 500 words last time I opened, but I feel like I might need to lower it to make things more accessible.
I want to hear what you guys think about this in any case. If you're interested in seeing a patreon from me, would you rather me open with one-off stories that are voted for, a series, a CYOA type deal, or something else entirely. If you're more interested in commissions, how do you think I should adjust my rate?

Would I be interested if commissions re-opened? Yes. Could I necessarily afford it at the moment what with changing jobs myself? Don't know.

I really appreciate the interest, and I totally understand if a commission's not in your budget. Also, I hope changing jobs goes as smoothly as it can

I'd certainly be interested. I've always loved your male stories, and I'd love a chance to get one. :3 Anything that fits that will certainly interest me.

I'm glad you enjoy them ^^ I'd be happy to work something out with you if I do end up starting commissions again

I would support your patreon. I have enjoyed your writings both causal and mature for free for a while now so I could at least support you in your time of need.

That honestly means a lot. I'm glad you've liked my work enough to stick around as long as you have, and I hope I can keep it up
