Hi everyone,
I love interacting with the members of our little club; it's often very productive, never boring except when some people ask me to send them all 40 comics published almost for free in exchange for their one-time contribution of $10 every two years.
Change #1: The $5, $10, $20, $100 "Tiers" will be renamed Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum. It's more meaningful.
Change #2: One of our club members (hello Dubai!) regularly asks me to send him the images without the comic texts. He says he would actually prefer to have comics without texts (it's not necessarily pleasant lol) but for him, only the images matter.
When I look at certain images, I can't help but agree with him; some are more than sufficient on their own. The scene contains enough elements for the brain to imagine many things, and it's a shame to confine the reader to the creator's single interpretation. Perhaps the reader has more or different ideas. Not to mention the level of English.After long discussions between the two of us, here's what we're going to do : starting this weekend, in the Gold Tier, I will add the images in Jpeg in addition to the comics in PDF format. This will also help differentiate the two tiers Silver and Gold a bit more. I will keep the limit of additional monthly sends to 4 and 8 comics respectively, which is a suggestion from another creator who told me he didn't understand much about my Tiers.
Change #3 : The $100 Tier, now Platinum, actually serves as a mega thank you or congratulations but doesn't offer specific benefits. However, fans know how to say thank you but often expect something in return! So, I'm going to add a few modifications to this Tier to make it more "mutual." First, I'll lower the cost of the Tier, to $40 and then I'm thinking of adding this:
1) The ability to claim 10 recent comics per month
2) The ability to claim 2 specific sets of images (in JPEG format) per month
As always a reminder : 1 ) the name change won't impact you. 2) The new schemes for Gold and Platinum will be effective this week-end.
I think this is all.
Contact me if any question.
Cheers
