MAJOR CHANGE TO BILLING!
🕑 Added 2020-01-01 04:29:03 +0000 UTCHello!!
I've become aware of a couple of people who have stolen my work to add it to BBW forums and paysites without my permission.
YAY! *rolls eyes*
This makes me sad.
I don't make my work for those types of sites. I don't make my work to be porn or fetishized. I especially don't make my work for OTHER ASSHOLES to benefit from financially especially when I don't turn a profit from it myself. (If you don't know everything I make on Patreon goes back into making more work, taking road trips, booking hotels, buying gear etc.)
In order to hopefully deter people like this from becoming a patron for a couple of days so they don't even get charged the monthly tier fee and enable them to steal my work for free I've changed my payment scheme to be "Bill Upfront". This means when any new patron joins they'll be billed for the current month right away and then on the 1st of every month after that.
When I spoke to the team at Patreon about what was happening they said that this was the best solution they had for me other than sending all the sites and forums cease letters. I will be doing that as a follow-up action but they said that the majority of Creators who have had this issue and switched their billing improved their situation greatly. I'm not that popular so I'm hoping it solves it 100% and for good.
WHAT I'M UNSURE OF IS THIS....HOW CURRENT PATRONS WILL BE BILLED THIS CYCLE
Because it was billing at the end of the month I believe that you will be charged currently for December, like normal. I waited to do this until the end of the year because I felt like it would be the best time, however, that might put us in a place where you get billed for December and January back to back. December will bill at the old end of month scheme and January will bill as the new first of the month billing scheme.
My sincerest apologies if this happens. I hope that you understand that I'm trying to protect my work and this was the only course of action (other than the letters and having my photos taken down which will also happen) that I could think of to remedy the situation.
I hope that I don't lose anyone because of this change. Especially those of you who have just joined this month, I can def understand how this could look like I'm trying to "double-dip" and if you chose not to support me moving forward, I get it. Please know that it's not my intention to cause any issues with anyone or any negative feelings. Part of why I'm doing this is to respect you - I'm forever blessed that you are here with me and that you chose to support my work. I don't at all take that lightly and get so angry when things like this happen because not only does it violate me but I feel like it violates all of you as well who pledge willingly.
Again, I'm sorry if this causes any bad feelings.
If you guys have any questions or concerns please send me a message or leave me comment. I'll be happy to answer anything I can for you.

Nothing worse than thieves. I have no problems with you changing the payment structure. I'm hoping that this will minimize the piracy. If you need any help rooting out these poachers dont hesitate to ask.
