I just wanted to gently remind you that you can increase your current pledge if you're able, this place needs to grow by about a half in order for me to stop freaking out every time someone leaves (people leave all the time, new people join, it's normal). My current income isn't good or stable, and it genuinely affects my mental state and art output.

A whole year ago I debated if I should make the $1 tier a "general support" tier with no rewards, to motivate people to pledge more, but my modesty and hopefulness for the future stopped me, along with the logistic hell of separating the patron tiers/roles on discord. I decided against that, and I'm still holding out, waiting for that mythical success achieved through sheer grind and talking to you in a sincere way.

Both sentiments are true:

- I prefer that people pledge no more than $1-3, so that when you're gone, it doesn't make a big negative impact on me

- If you pledge $5-10 or more, you're my hero and you carry my life and work on Fragments really hard.

Even if you can't help me financially more than you already do, I'd appreciate if you shared my comic with friends. Growing an audience for a multi-year comic, as it turns out, is a test of everything you've got, and I'm constantly being eaten at by my fears that I might never reach the Stable Spot and work on Fragments in peace. Word of mouth can do wonders, and I need a bit of a wonder in my life currently ngl.
