Why Patreon?
Why create a Patreon page?
I created this Patreon page to help me cover the cost of higher-quality works and experiences with my creative works. Specifically, the price of monthly subscriptions to things like Clip Studio Paint, Discord Nitro, Uppbeat, and as I swim further into podcasting waters, I’ll look for a distribution service. As I type this, it’s already cost me almost 20USD to make a new podfic, and I haven’t started recording yet. That cost is strictly subscription fees and my time isn’t factored into the equation at all.
But there are free alternatives. Why not use those?
When you use a free social media site or service, you are neither their client nor their customer. Therefore, you and your shared content will not be treated or respected like one. Further, I don’t want advertisements for people and products that I wouldn’t support attached to my creative works.
If there’s a cost, why do it?
Podfics make fanfiction more accessible. Podcasts make it easier to provide entertainment and information to people.
Some years ago, I was involved in a serious accident. I sustained a brain injury, and the team of medical professionals that treated me likened it to having had a stroke.
The injury affected my vision; I experienced ‘subjective visual tilt,’ which took years to heal. I couldn’t drive, walk far distances, watch television, or read during those long years. Because I wasn’t working during recovery, I couldn’t afford extra things like an Audible subscription. I could not engage in entertainment to help keep my spirits up and remain hopeful, resulting in a very low period of my life.
I know how lucky I am to have healed.
I started my fandom adventure by writing fanfics. The experience helped me to recover my vocabulary and rekindled my creative spirit. I am more thankful for that than I can say.
There are innumerable reasons why people rely on audio works. They could be visually impaired; they could suffer from migraines, they may have dyslexia, or, perhaps, like me, they are waiting to heal. By making podfics and podcasts, fandom is made more inclusive.
In addition, there is a multitude of others that simply enjoy audio works.
Again, podfics make fanfiction more accessible. Podcasts make it easier to provide entertainment and information to people.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for your consideration of becoming my patron.
