"I Don't Care About the Patreon Perks" Option: Ko-Fi
Good morning, lovelies!
Earlier this week, I updated the Patreon tiers (to my annoyance, because I don't like raising prices; it feels like breaking a promise) and got an outpouring of love and support. Thank you so much for your understanding.
I also got several comments and DM's saying something along the lines of "I don't care about the stickers/YouTube credits/other perks, I'm just here to support my favorite creator so she keeps injecting queer fantasy stories directly into my veins."
Honestly, fair.
And also, bet.
If that's how you feel, then I'm actually going to encourage you to check out my Ko-Fi account. It's very similar to Patreon, as it has a monthly donation option (as well as a one-time donation option, if that's more your financial speed), but no perks attached. Fiend, Nic, and I won't have to worry about YouTube credits or mailing out merch or whatever.
I hesitate to put this option forward, because I don't like begging for money except as a last resort. Much like a fairy, I'm usually more comfortable with a quid-pro-quo than the "give me money please" strategy.
However, if that's not the case for you and you truly don't want/care about merch, but still want to throw money at me every month, then I encourage you to switch to a monthly Ko-Fi subscription. Here is the link: https://ko-fi.com/cmalongi
Oh, also, here's a new link for Discord, if you haven't joined that.

Very happy to be supporting and one of these days I'll get the discord link to work for me
I honestly just want the stickers cause I can get new stickers to show off at work, also supporting you is the best
The question I have is: Do you get more of the money, even if we're paying the same amount, if we switch to Ko-Fi?
Possibly; Patreon does take a small cut, but I think Ko-Fi charges the tipper extra to off-set the costs.
I missed your last post but im glad i got i saw this one bc i needed to update my tier bc i was fae sorcerers and i wanted the stickers bc they are so cuteee, i cant wsit to get mh stickers at the end of the year, i love your skits and books
As one of those who wanted to maximize the money that reaches you (and living in Europe), thanks. I switched to Ko-Fi.
I'm buying advance access to your compilations. I like seeing them a day earlier than everyone else. As long as that's still a patreon perk at my level, I'm good.
Barring technical difficulties, yes, it's still a thing
I love that there are options to support you. Personally, I enjoy getting the goodies because, like Bob, I LOVE shiny things.
You're looking at it all wrong. We're not "throwing money at you" for nothing. We're buying your future stories.
Directly into my veins is a phase I will be using now on
Just to be clear, by Youtube credits do you mean being credited in the video? I will switch to KoFi if that is the case
Yes, the end credits with our names listed if you're a Patreon supporter. Several of us didn't care about our name being there because not everyone watches through the credits so it messes up the algorithm and pushing the videos to new people
