Ok, so there might be a Patreon now...

Stop! Don't unsubscribe! Let me explain first!
Yes, it IS true that I have made a Patreon. Yes, I have put Patreon exclusive content on that Patreon. No, I am not getting airs and graces just because some nice people gifted me some coffees on Ko-fi and decided I need to jump to the big-time.
This is partly because of those nice people on Ko-fi. What I discovered, is that Ko-fi is not really a place if you do Adult work. You can use it, but it's not great to link back to what you do. Plus every time someone donates a coffee, I get an email with their paypal address and usually their real names. This is not something I feel comfortable storing in my inbox, so I'd like a layer of abstraction that uses a payment processor that says "this guy is awesome" but doesn't give me their personal details.
Which brings us to Patreon. I've always said that whenever I do projects, I would never paywall content. The good news is that is still the case. Every post on patreon will be public. I do plan on dropping patreon exclusive content like updates on episodes, the odd work in progress image or things like wallpapers of bits and pieces. Those will all be on only Patreon. However all you have to do is go to Patreon and just grab them for free if you want them. I've even ignored the whole Tier system. There is one Tier and it is set at £1. What that means is it's a pay what you want. That's the minimum I could set it to, but people wanting to throw money at it can set the amount they'd actually like to give.
I've also set it up so that anyone becoming a Patron does not get pre-charged. Patreon does this for the first month as a way to avoid people pledging, grabbing content then running and cancelling the pledge. This is not an issue because my shit is free! You can pledge and run if you want, but it's kind of a waste of time when you can get the stuff without the effort.
There is only one perk of becoming a Patron. The end of each episode will list all the Patrons and add thanks.
I've pre-added some content already. We've got some Efa wallpapers showing off the range of clothing she could have chosen in the last episode as well as a progress report with a little sneak peek on the current episode, and I'll be adding stuff as I plod along.
You can find it here if you want free shit or even feel like Patreonizing: https://www.patreon.com/methodiaRascal

Though I would definitely say you should make it somewhat of a paywall! I know it's not really great to hold off things behind having to pay for it, but I think if you just did a week long paywall for behind the scenes, wallpapers, or extra bits like that, then I think you would get a lot more people interested.
After all, like a movie, trailers are made to show interest in it and people want to see the whole thing behind a paywall.
In any case, i'll definitely be signing up soon to check it out.
