Welcome to my Patreon!
🕑 Added 2020-06-06 15:21:20 +0000 UTCI was talking with a prospective patron yesterday, and I caught myself listing all of the different things that are available to my backers. All of them are listed the the Welcome e-mail I send out when someone joins us. But — honestly — I rarely read those things closely, and you might have skimmed it just the same.
So.... here are some ways to get the most for your pledge.
Bonuses
I post bonuses for my backers from time to time. Sometimes it's free Evil Inc stuff, and sometimes it's stuff from another creator whose work I think you'll enjoy. Here's the thing. Those links never expire. (And if you find a bad one, give me a heads-up, and I'll fix it.)
You can usually find those links using the following tags.

Exclusive areas of Evil-inc.com
This year, I'm putting a strong push on improving the reading experience for my readers. That's why there are three Patreon-exclusive sub-sites at evil-inc.com. They are...
- eiad.evil-inc.com — Evil Inc After Dark
- commissions.evil-inc.com — NSFW Commissions
- courting.evil-inc.com — Courting Disaster
When you visit those sites, you get a reading experience tailor-made for your device. For example, at the Evil Inc After Dark site, desktop users get a full-page eBook, while mobile users get a panel-by-panel vertical scroll.
All of the archive EiAD has been converted to vertical scroll except for the first 12, and those are on track to be converted by the end of the month.

After your payment is successfully processed at the end of the month (and every month thereafter), I will send you categorized links to view all of the NSFW content outside of Patreon. One link will give you all of the EiAD pages, in order, another will give you all of the uncensored Courting Disaster cartoons, and so on. This is over 2 gigabytes of content.
Evil Inc archives
Once an Evil Inc book is published, the corresponding comics in the archive become part your pledge of $2 or higher. I am currently converting all of those archives to read in a desktop eBook format. And newer comics (going back for about a year) will be offered in a vertical scroll for mobile readers. In other words, I'm working hard to make reading the archives much more enjoyable than the traditional webcomic set-up of continually clicking the "Next" and "Previous" buttons.
Discord channel
You're still reading? Wow! So you're exactly the person I want to talk to. Evil Inc After Dark has a Discord channel that's exclusive to NSFW-level Patreon backers. But... I have no idea what to do with it. I'm not going to post content there because — seriously — you just read how many different places and formats I'm posting! I don't want to encourage members to post content there that would otherwise be private content (i.e., another creator's exclusive Patreon content). I want it to be something that is a "plus" to a backer — an extra reason to be happy with their monthly pledge. But, honestly, I'm at a complete loss. I'm open to ideas.

We've seen that before. It may be some of the ad-blockers / tracker blockers causing the issue. It also might be a browser-specific issue that is causing the issue. I would try a couple of things. Clearing out the browser's cache and then try logging in again. If that doesn't work, if you have any Chrome extensions or Firefox Add-ons installs, I would disable them and see if that helps. As always, please report back your findings so I can help to improve the site!

I've tried to access the subsites, but I keep seeing the locked screen. I click on "Log in via Patreon" and then when I'm directed there, click on "Allow" but it takes me right back to "only viewable by Patreon supporters". I'm using Firefox on Windows 10.

Don't feel stupid at all! This link should provide all the information you need: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/212052266-Get-my-Discord-role#h_a3a13f16-01d6-4e71-8040-fc3b91183ed7

I feel stupid for asking, but I cannot actually find the link to the Discord server. I had no idea it even existed, and more than once I've wanted a place where I could bounce theories and ideas with other members.
