Good point.

That's on Patreon, not released yet

Support l’artist on Patreon and read two pages ahead! (I felt seriously spoilt this morning)

Can I just pay 100$ and get lifetime access? I seriously don't like running obligations. And continuously paying 1$ per month is an obligation while paying 100$ once is not.

I empathize with your point of view. I don't think Patreon supports that kind of situation, but I'll look into it.

You could set up a private mailing list and circumvent Patreon entirely.

Naturally, but I'd rather not have to worry about maintaining that manually. That could quickly become untenable.

Yep, can understand that artists want to keep organisation stuff small so that they can concentrate on art. And of course I want Arioch to concentrate on art

Artists probably want to have a reliable income they can plan with. So, Patreon might not support it because one time payments are not what artists are usually aiming for. But I suspect that there would be some people - maybe not many - who would take an expensive lifetime access over a cheap running payment.

I'd be perfectly okay with that kind of "lifetime" buy-in, if it could be effectively automated. I'd just rather not have to keep track of lists of who gets what when, and establishing secure separate hosting for it. It sounds simple, but it's really not.

I'd also like to be able to gift free patronage, like in the case of foreign translators of the comic, but I don't think that's supported. But as I said, I'll look more carefully into it.

I simply go for a lump sum via PayPal once a number of pages are finished or publicised. Avoids the extra country tax Patreon ads to a commitment.

But that's additional work for Arioch, right?

You don't get rewards, but if you're not interesting in getting the pages early or thigh-res images, or whatever patreon rewards are, it's as good as anything else.

Why should it? Its me doing the transfer.
Arioch only needs be pleasantly surprised there's some extra cash on his account.

Ok, so you're just donating money, but don't get any early access to patreon posts.

There was an... incident... where a plastron field ineracted with a floater drive.
The results... on a physics level... were cataclysmic.
