patPatreon is quickly becoming the next big thing for online content producers. If you haven’t heard of it before, Patreon is kind of like Kickstarter, except that instead of allowing creators to raise money for a big, one-time project, it gives them a way to receive continuous support for ongoing endeavors, like video series or webcomics. Patrons can pledge a certain amount per creation or per month, and in return, the creator can give them various perks. The video below summarizes it nicely.

By now, you’ve probably surmised that we’re running a Patreon campaign of our own. We’re putting the finishing touches on it now, and next week we’ll announce it with a big fanfare, but for now, we’re doing a “soft launch”. If you have a moment, please check out our campaign. You could be one of our first patrons! Or, if you have any questions or suggestions, let us know in the comments below. We can’t promise that we’ll implement every idea, but we certainly value your feedback.
