Fuya's Patreon FAQ & HELP
I decided to make a FAQ post so it'd be easier for the new patrons to get the idea of how my Patreon works.
If anyone, patron or not, has a question you'd like to be answered, please let me know in the comment section below! If it seems like a generic information, I will add it to the FAQ.

FAQ & HELP
_______________________________
Does pledging mean I will be charged right after I've become your patron?
No :) Patreon has its payment gathering period which will occur during 1st-5th of each months. Until the next payment cycle comes, you would not be charged, and if you change your mind or seem to not be interested in that month's rewards anymore, you can always just remove your pledge before the payment cycle starts.
_________________________________________
So I've become your patron supporter. Where do I get this month's rewards?
Rewards will be delivered via Patreon's message during 7th-8th of the upcoming month. The system will automatically send you an email notification when you receive a message on Patreon.
_________________________________________
If I were to pledge now, will that give me access to all posted images from previous months too?
Pledging would only give you the current month's contents (which will be delivered during the beginning of the next month).
The reason behind this is that it wouldn't be fair to those who've been supporting since the beginning, and also to prevent troll patrons from downloading them all and removing their pledges right after.
_________________________________________
So where could I get the previous rewards?
I put up stuffs from previous months on my itch .io store >> https://fuyahana.itch.io/
_________________________________________
Aside from just looking at them, what else could I do to the rewards I have recieved?
You can do whatever you want to them as long as it's not for commercial use or to claim them as your own creations. I in fact appreciate it if you'd use them as your personal decoration. You can print them out, make posters out of them, make wallpapers, use them as your phones' background, or as your personal blog's decoration, create trading card game sleeves, eat them, or rage fap on them to show dominance.
As long as you don't use them to gain profit on any kind of merchandise as of commercial or charity use or to claim that you're the creator of the contents, I'm totally happy!
_________________________________________
Why can't I use Paypal as a payment method to support you?
Paypal has its own policy to not supporting transactions related to open NSFW contents. Most supporters that were using Paypal as their only payment method in the past were declined during the payment gathering cycle so Patreon decided to cut Paypal off from the payment option when you are to pledge for NSFW creators, at least as of the moment I wrote this.
_________________________________________
My payment was declined by Patreon. What should I do?
This could be caused by several reasons;
Your credit card's company or bank declined transactions for Patreon. You'd need to contact your credit card's publisher and ask them how to fix it, or change your credit card.
You are using a debit card that is not connected or registered as available for online transaction. Contact your bank to see what you should do about it.
You don't have enough money in your bank account lel XD put some money into it and fix your payment setting. This will revert your status back to pending.
You put in wrong information for your cards. Double check it.
After a fix in your credit card's info, please don't forget to retry the card. This will revert your status back to Pending and Patreon will come check it again within 48 hours.
If none of the above works and you still want to support or to get the rewards, send me a message to see what we could do.
Or if you want to contact Patreon yourself, you can Send a note to Patreon to report and ask about your status. They usually are quick to reply!

Greetings Fuya i have a Question. Do you also do commissions outside of Patreon or dont you do any commissions at all?
I used to do commissions but not any more. At least for now. I'm on a big delay with reward delivery and there were problems when I was doing commissions that I tried to avoid.
I am Japanese. I like your illustration. I really liked your illustration and tried to buy it with Gumroad. However, no matter how I tried it, I could not purchase it due to an error... I am very sad... Is there any other way to buy your illustration? I absolutely want to get your illustration!
Hello Youhei-san. May you tell me what kind of error it showed you? If the error is something I can't help, then we might find an other way, but really thank you for your supportive thought!
Do you do commissions :3
Interesting thing... I can use paypal for my pledges to you now.
Fuya, what is the payment method you're now using if I'm not in the US and only has a paypal account?
Hello Jinra, sorry that I saw this reply late. There wasn't a notification on patreon dashboard when non-patron comments. And for your question, too bad I don't think we have a method for paypal only users yet D: hope patreon is open for more option besides credit cards...
Hi!
... thanks.
The "rage fap to show dominance" part just made my day... and it's not even 8am here. Thanks, 10/10 best FAQ. xD
One day you will draw Rias for me or anyhow and I will use it everywhere saying it's your work. Haha Just waiting for the day
