New Year, New Tiers and the End of Commissions
🕑 Added 2020-12-12 18:30:26 +0000 UTCHi y'all!! Don't let the title scare ya, there's lots of good stuff ahead.
Let me address the last item first: After the huge health scare that was losing my voice this year, and the wakeup call that came with taking a hard look at my schedule, I have decided to eliminate commissions entirely. They make up the majority of my stress about GWA, and although I love personalizing stuff for y'all and the fabulous ideas y'all come up with, it's just become unsustainable for me. The amount of time I've put into commissions this year has been killing me. Honestly, even though I genuinely love doing them individually, I don't think it's good for me to continue.
I thought about this long and hard, and I decided it's high time to update my tiers anyways, so why not kill two birds with one stone?
Starting Jan 1, 2021, I am eliminating Azure, Sky Blue, Sapphire, and Celestial tiers as they currently exist, and restructuring the rest.
I've reworked my tiers to provide more content for a lower price, which I'm hoping will make getting all 3-4 exclusives per month more accessible for more people. The new tiers will be:
$3 Powder - Unchanged. You'll see posts and be able to download my Reddit audios.
$5 Cyan - Largely unchanged. Posts, Discord access, and 1 exclusive per month.
$10 Cornflower - Posts, Discord access, 2 exclusives per month, and voting for Reddit audios.
$15 Peacock - Posts, Discord access, 3 exclusives per month, and voting for Patreon audios.
$25 Sky Blue - Posts, Discord access, 3-4 exclusives per month, Idea Room access, double voting.
$26 Sky Blue Plus (10 available) - Posts, Discord access with custom role color, 3-4 exclusives per month, Idea Room access, double voting.
$30 Sapphire - Posts, Discord access, 3-4 exclusives per month, Idea Room access, double voting, Lewds Locker.
$50 Azure (support tier) - If you'd like to offer extra support.
$75 Celestial (support tier) - If you'd like to offer extra support.
There might be some minor alterations here and there, but this is the idea. Except for Sky Blue Plus, there will be unlimited spots in every tier.
I will still be honoring outstanding customs that were put in before the form closed, and I of course will honor everyone's free custom this month (please be patient with me as I am still working through quite the backlog). I will also still open limited customs spots for special events on occasion.
Starting in January I'll have a request form that I'll look through for ideas. That would be a great place to put your (depersonalized) customs ideas if you'd still like me to see it to potentially make it.
What you should do ASAP if you're a Sky Blue, Sapphire, or Celestial patron: change your pledge to the tier you want from above (I recommend the $30) to get all of the perks. Since you already paid for December, you'll continue to get the perks of your current tier until January. I just don't want you to get charged on January 1st for services you're not receiving.
If you would like to stay at your current donation amount to help support my work (as a couple of people on Discord have expressed to me) then you can of course leave your pledge as it is. I appreciate you so, so, so much.
I appreciate and adore y'all for accompanying me on this audio journey and helping me to make audios in a way that's healthy, sustainable, and gives me much more time to be creative to make y'all the best content I can. Your moral, emotional, and financial support got me out of some dark times in my life where I was working several jobs and was miserable at pretty much all of them. You guys helped me out of that terrible spot, and I'll never forget it. Thank you.
Here's to more nuts in the new year than you can shake a stick at!! 💙😜
Love,
Blue 💙💋

I'm glad you're focusing on your own health, Blue! While I'll miss commissions, they're not so important to me that I want you to suffer for them, and it sounds like you were suffering quite a bit from doing so many. The new tiers sound amazing! Such a steal for the quality stuff you create for us here. Here's to a less stressful, less shitty year in 2021!
