Release the donation wallpapers?
Hello all,
So here’s the question. between 2010 to 2016, I’ve created a number of donation ‘only’ wallpapers of the SailorSun.org crew.
For years, to see/get these exclusive wallpapers, one had to donate. And you could only see/get the wallpapers for the month you donated.
Now that I’ve switched to Patreon, I’m wondering if I should make the old wallpapers veiwable on the site by everyone, put them on Patreon for Patreon member only or Deviantart. So I want your opinion. Especially the opinions of people who donated in the past.
What do you think?
I don’t think many people would be complaining about the old wallpapers being released public.
Well, if you start releasing ones that are less than a year old, then people may start thinking “well, I’ll pass on donating because I will be able to see it for free soon enough”, but ones older than a year or so are kind of “lost to the abyss”, especially for newer readers, if they are not posted anywhere at all.
Anyway, the cynical “grab every penny” side of me says make them available to whoever donates the minimum tier on Patreon, while the less-cynical side says put them on DA.
Alternatively, you could make them available on Patreon for a period of time before making them more publicly available. This would give the Patreon backers a bonus of early access to the old wallpapers, but would still make them available to everyone eventually.
Do it! Put them all up!
“The Wotch” put all of thier extras up free at one point; i’d like to see the ones here, but it’s up to you.
Just let us know what’s decided so we can decide how to cope with it, okay?
Heather has a point! Ball in your court! Do not blow it.
