Discord donations and tiers information.
🕑 Added 2019-07-23 15:49:41 +0000 UTCSo as you know from earlier this month, I've been working on an alternative support method on discord, which is where I already post all the content anyway. I said I would give you more details later in the month, before Patreon's next billing cycle, well here we are.
There is a bot (in fact several types exist now) on discord that enable Paypal donations and manage roles depending on the donations, therefore allowing discord roles to be used the same way as the pledge tiers here. The process is instant and efficient, as all you have to do to subscribe or donate is write "donate" in the chat and then go through a secured paypal payment gateway.
Many people already used it and there was no issues outside of the bot being a bit slow on giving the role sometime, which I can do myself if requested. The existing roles are supporters, supporters+ and super supporters, which are the equivalent of the 1$, 5$ and 10$ roles here. The other two top tiers don't exist because they're don't really give any exclusive content access and most people just use them to gather more commission tokens. (you can give more than 10$, and that will count toward extra tokens)
The other difference is that the 1$ role is 2$ on discord, because it's individually processed and not batched, meaning that the transaction fee almost make a 1$ donation disappear completely. On the plus side, there is no VAT costs on this system.
So if you are interested in making the switch to Discord only and support me directly without extra fees, be only billed on the day you pledged, and not on the 1st of the month, and guarantee that I get the most of your donation because there is no middleman fees, well join our community! I will not shut down or abandon this patreon unless every single person leave, so if you prefer to stay here that's completely fine, think of this place more as a kind of tip jar now, since a lot of the content cannot be uploaded here anymore anyway.
Know that I am also working on a website for the comic and a new sfw project I work in collaboration with my wife, and pledging on discord will also give you access to that project once I start posting content about it, it will not be uploaded or supported through patreon at all. The new project won't be on a monthly basis or any serious deadline or crunch, so don't worry it's not affecting fvt, it's something I do on my free time for now, think of it as a kind of portfolio work, that I'll be able to show and share without issues, and so will you~
In conclusion, whether you decide to continue supporting me here, or move to discord, I thank you for supporting me at all! This comic wouldn't exist without your help, thank you!
If you have more questions, you can ask them in the comments, or check the FAQ channel on the discord server, I cover a few more things over there and you can also ask me directly :) If you decide to move, remember to cancel your pledge here or you'll get billed twice!

I likely will change to the Discord donation for both here and Grim. You said the base donations are 2 dollars there?
Yes, both patrons and supporters roles will get access to it on discord, but the content itself won't be posted here on patreon.
Kontra
Um. Q: will the new project(which you will publish only in discord) get those who use Patreon payments?
