A question for Furry creators with a Patreon... Would you be interested in re-surfacing some of the content which you have shared with your patrons on a new channel? We've been tossing around the idea of creating a monthly digital magazine and publishing it via Patreon.

The idea would be to share stories, comics, and cool Furry content in a one-stop "Sign up and get a taste of what's out there." format. We'd pay a TBD amount either up front or via a one-time share of the monthly proceeds from the digest. Still working out the financials, but something like that.

Benefit to us is that it is a quick draw to our channel, through which we hope to do other things in the near future. Benefit to you is that you get a little extra scratch and advertise your own Patreon. Benefit to readers is a mix of curated Furry stuff delivered to them automatically.

Right now just respond with whether this sounds interesting or not (and share this post around). Once we get a sense as to interest (if any) we'll do a more formal announcement and probably get together a discussion channel of some sort to work out the details.

I can only speak for myself, but my Patreon is chock-full of random scenes for people who are already a fan of my novels. I'll get a few scenes into a story, and then a few scenes into another. That's what you get to see if you join my Patreonβ€”how the sausage is made. But a zine really needs 1/2

Yes, with the caveat that I usually publish such things on FA later. (Not always, but I think that's true for all the complete short stories!)

We're also inclined to think this is fine. It's less the exclusivity of the content than the fact that it is collated and delivered on a monthly basis. Ultimately the market will decide what works though...

Nah, I was just thinking of Patreon re-runs as being a logical source for material people have already written and gotten the first squeeze out of that now is probably ripe for some new eyes. Anything pre-written works. We may even do some digital 'zines eventually.

It's very much at the "an idea we've had" stage. There feels to us like there is an unfilled niche between the "all you can eat buffet" of online archives and the "gourmet meal" of a carefully assembled anthology. Something like a high-end catered cafeteria. Maybe?

If it's not Patreon-specific, I'd definitely be interested. My patreon got shut down for what I consider a BS reason, (long story) and I'm low-key boycotting them, but I *have* oodles of content I used to put out there, and a decentish stack of stuff I've done since and shared with my fans directly.
