Patreon Thoughts (and other news)

General
Hey all,
This journal is coming about because of feedback from my recent spring survey (found here and open for another week or so!), in which there seems to be decent interest for a Patreon for me. I've thought about it for a bit and to be honest I'm not sure how I would make the Patreon special for those folks kind/willing enough to support me as a patron. I'm hesitant to do any sort of exclusive content because...well, I'm a small fry and I've only been posting about two original Skies stories a month as is. I don't have time to do any more and even doing one exclusive Patreon story a month would cut output here in half. I also don't really to do timed exclusives either, because I don't think I'd get enough supporters to make five or so people seeing stories early be tantalizing. My only thought on something that would be fair is maybe have one story a month be based off a poll where patrons could vote for what they'd like to see me write that month, but everyone would still see it, of course. This does lead to the main question of this journal: if I was to make a Patreon what would ya'll like to see from it other than it being a glorified tip jar (which might be fine)?
Other news is the egg story didn't make Easter, sorry! It'll be out in a few weeks and is the result of an unexpected collab. Other question is, wish-gone-wrong raven, deer duo, or shadowed dragon?
Again, survey is found here if you want to affect Skies Spring (and Summer!) stories!
Thanks for reading!

You could also try the time delay for the Patron. Put all your stuff up there first.
