  3. Sign me up, I loved both settings so a mash up sounds great. I'm debating between gold and platinum.

  4. Hehehehe,

    Looks oddly copy paste familiar. (especially the payment plan.)

    I do like the idea of including the cost of the print on demand copy and having it signed, though that does stick you with shipping costs to say China, Australia, and South Africa (just a few of the places I have patrons in for the HotJO project).

    Consider this idea swiped for my next patronage project.

    Good luck.

  6. LOL

    At least when I copied it form Wolfgangbaur.com I rewrote it so my English teacher would not beat me with the ruler :)

    But thanks for the compliment.

    Roughly 50 days, I set a deadline of 60 days from when our first patron signed up. Yet I also had a very low production threshold to hit, 30 standard patrons (silver). This was due to the write and myself working on % after that # was met.

    I did have one patronage promotion that was exclusive to the patrons, if you would like to know about that shoot me an email at worldsmith (at) gmail (dot) com
