It's December! Holiday season time! And, hey, some news that I'm gonna finally make actually properly public rather than just keeping it on discord. Trying to keep up with actual rewards for patrons has always been kinda problematic, taking up basically all my time and keeping me from working on literally anything else. And Drabbles in particular have the issue of trying to ensure I don't end up just working for the same eight people over and over and over again forever, which I've still not managed to do. So! The goal, then, is to try and ensure people donate to my patreon while also giving me more breathing room to work on personal projects, and I think I've managed to come up with exactly that. And, hey, while the Drabble tier isn't on the menu anymore (as of January), the upside is that this plan involves commissions coming back! Hooray!

Trying to get it across as succinctly as possible, commissions will cost $20 for 1k words, but each patreon tier will come with a percentage discount to commissions, ranging from 1% to 15%. So long as you've been in that tier for at least a month, you get that discount applied to your commission. Stories featuring my OCs will also have a discount applied to them, and I'm going to be providing a list of ideas I wanna work on anyway that you can pay me to work on at a further discount (inspired by some friends who do the same thing). There'll also be the option to throw money at me to work on a specific thing until it's done! I've had a *bunch* of people ask if that was possible over the years, so *clearly* there's a market for it. And, of course, Drabbles are also an option - $15 for ~2k words, with the downside being that you can't apply other discounts to them because that's already a pretty big discount but the upside being *that's a pretty big discount*.

This will all take a while to go live, of course. I'm going to be taking January and February off to clear up my financial obligation plate (read; finish up the growth drive) and also to just work on some personal projects before I inevitably get innundated with commission requests, and *also* to figure out the exact details re; discounts and prices and such. The new tiers should be going live in February, and commissions will officially open in March. We'll see how it goes from there. In the meantime, though, I've got one last month's worth of drabbles to clear out. Gonna try and gun getting these all done asap, and that means today we're obviously gonna be doing some drabble work! Gonna be working on some Parnters related werewolf lewds that were probably meant to be done in like october but listen it's fine.
