Product Placement/Sponsorship Policy
6 years ago
Hey everyone!
CrinkleCat is a free AB/DL and babyfur story archive. However, there is a Patreon for anyone who wants early access to stories before they're published. Early access starts at only $5/month!
To ensure that CrinkleCat continues to be free, I will be developing stories featuring products from AB/DL retailers. Some of my stories will also be sponsored by retailers. From the onset, I want to be transparent about this policy for a few reasons.
Though CrinkleCat is a passion project for me, I believe my work merits monetary value. One complaint I received from other authors in the genre is that I've hesitated to properly monetize my content; that I've consistently devalued my work because of my insistence of publishing everything for free. In the fandom, authors and artists monetize their work with commissions. However, story commissions are a lot more rare and hard to consistently deliver. I've done a number of story commissions, with some of them literally taking years to finish because I have trouble combining my creative narrative vision with what the commissioner wants. I feel more comfortable producing original content. This leaves me in a position where I'm left with a few options. I've started offering character slots in original stories on a YCH basis, which I believe is a healthy compromise for those who generally prefer commissioning content creators. By having a product placement policy, I'm able to develop the revenue I need to continue producing content with value.
I also want to support AB/DL businesses and give readers a sense of what their products feel like in addition to describing what they look like. Starting in January 2019, AB/DL retailers will be able to contact me for sponsorship opportunities. In some cases, I will *cough* sample their product and incorporate that experience into fictional work. Other cases, these businesses can pay a nominal fee to have their business sponsored in the story description and/or their product is mentioned. I'm currently speaking with a few retailers. Anyone who is interested in sponsorship opportunities can send me a private message on here or contact me on Telegram.
Of course, if you like my stories, I also accept PayPal donations. Donate any dollar amount you like!
Thank you for reading and crinkle on!
