Hey everyone! How's it all going?
There are a couple of points i wanted to mention today, so let's get to it.
1. Move successful for me. Means now i should finally be able to focus a bit better on my work again. Not much more to say about it really since i don't think i even mentioned it here before...soooo....anyway. Technically i've got a short little vacation right now to sort of enjoy the first few days of the new town, but commissions are opened so that i can at least start right away once i get back and don't have to wait for all the communication to happen first.
2. Ko-Fi, yep! Over here >>>> https://ko-fi.com/nomaxfa <<<<
Some of you might have already seen it as i added it silenty to my profile a few weeks ago. I stayed away from services that offer a way to support me monetarily without getting anything in return. I felt like i'm not a charity so i shouldn't really act like one. But i recently was in exactly the position where all i could do was support something i enjoyed through a t-shirt or some stuff like that, and that just wasn't something i wanted to do due to added shipping costs, the hassle of having a t-shirt i don't enjoy the design of and the environmental impact it had for nothing. So, being in that position i think my thinking was the wrong one, and the option to just toss a few bucks as a "hey i like what you are doing" without any of the commitment and heightened cost of merch or commissions is an option worth having.
3. Patreon?
Nothing set in stone yet but i've played around with some ideas of patreon. First off of course none of these ideas include anything of my usual pictures being paywalled off, i'm not an idiot. So there wouldn't be anything changing , still roughly one picture per week uploaded.
But yes, this one is just a bit more nebulous as of right now, if i can manage to figure out some more concrete information i'll of course let you all know.
4. Ice cream?
I had ice cream today! 3 scoops, melon, pistachios and tiramisu! It's bloody hot, so i hope ya'll are enjoying the summer with something similar to manage the heat :D

Only seems to be changeable when creating the creator page.
No idea if they are changing anything but so far it was simply forbidden to post NSFW without the Patrons only option on covering EACH of your the NSFW pieces, meaning e.g. you can't have porn in your banner or avatar, nor public submisison there because they can't be hidden from minors visiting the site, so the requirement to hide it via Patrons only is logical. Also, you can't use PayPal for payout if you post NSFW, and the reason is obvious - PayPal doesn't allow this and Patreon simply repsects PP's ToS.
If they are changing that though, I have no idea about it, while I believe such changes should be notified about since those affect the way a creator is allowed to use the website...
