Quick Tier Change Announcement

Jonathan Cheng

is the story still alive?

Looks like the 1 dollar tier no longer has access to anything now. I was a 1 dollar subscriber but all the new chapters got locked.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but I haven't gotten any new chapters since this post and I'm unsure if something is messed up or if I just don't understand something.

Gotta say that I'm not a fan of this change. $5 a month is already a lot for my budget. That's $60 a year, or the price of 2-3 new hardcover books. Even if Patreon subscriptions are inherently more expensive due to economies of scale, that's kind of high. So far it's been enjoyable, and having two stories for that price has been worth it. (Even if it's more than I'm willing to spend on other authors, some of whom put out more chapters and/or stories in a week for less.) I like Totem and All the Skills and want to see more of both, but not enough to shell out the price of a full streaming service a month.

Plus I'd think it's a great way to see who/how many are engaged with which story.

To be fair, Honor releases chapters faster than anyone else I patron and its convenient for those who are only interested in one series. Plus it's not unreasonablely priced. I patron a guy that only releases 2 chapters per month and his cheapest is 10$, not really worth it when you compare to what Honor regularly releases

Yeah I’m enjoying totem but not sure about this split. I support a dozen writers and I’ve never had to “double up” payments to see other stories they are working on. But Ill likely give it a chance if I can see enough coming out.

I have no idea about Totem. I'm a bit worried that the pace of updates for All The Skills will suffer with a splitting of focus. Oh well, I've got a few weeks to decide if this ends up being a one and done or if I continue to support.

I personally won't subscribe where patreons are split by work. Feels like my support for the artist isn't being appreciated and I may as well wait and pay significantly less for finished books.

'cept it's the same price and same content for the vast majority.

Evil tongues could even say "same price, half the content".

Yeah I wish Patreon allowed people to customize settings based on tags. In a perfect world, I would dump all my writings in one place and let people pick, choose, or block based on interest, but it's just not set up that way.

With inflation hiking up prices everywhere in my neck of the words, I consider prices staying the same somewhere to be extra good news. Then again I'm a cheap-ass. So.

I'm new in these parts so I'm a bit confused. Your "extra good news" is you aren't raising prices for some of your patreons?

Thanks, was getting tired of seeing totem in my email. I have zero interest in it and it wouldn't let me set it to just get All the Skills.

Honour Rae

I'll be aiming for 2x a week though there may be more initially.

Do you have any idea how often totem chapters are gonna come now that it's on its own tier or is it still whenever you have time?
