[3/22 edit] This page is public now! And page 85 is already up for members! I’ll probably add 86 and maybe 87 this week too. AND we have a brand new page on Patreon in just a moment – ch4 p102! (This is the reason this page is going public pretty late in the day.)
New webcomic page! When your ex-boyfriend couldn’t possibly be more dramatic. That’s what stalactites are for, right? Well, they are if you live in the underground and your name is Belmont.
So, exciting news! If you’re a patron pledging to DOTU, you can now connect your Patreon account to the DOTU website to unlock patrons-only stuff! Just click on the Members link in the top menu and read the big white box! If you’re not a patron, you can pledge here. If you want to pledge and continue reading pages but can’t use Patreon specifically, you can now pledge directly through the DOTU website here. Just beware that on-site pledging is brand new, so unless you pledge to the $10 tier, which gives you the entire Secret Gallery, it’ll be a little while before there’s a whole lot of bonus content here on the DOTU website. I still need to upload a lot of stuff.
Some new stuff did go up over the past few days, though! A new West Sphere character profile (Lyra) is up for $10+ patrons and will go public when the character appears in a public DOTU page. I’ve also now added the original R-rated pages to my author comment on the few ch4 pages where I’d posted a PG-13 version. Members can see it if they’re logged in. Same goes for some new bonus content I added to Pogo’s and Merritt’s character profiles. [EDIT: the R-rated pages are temporarily down again; I’ll let you know when they’re back.] Your membership account page will always show the latest updates!
And here’s my original comment from 3/17:
This page is going up early for Patreon members!
If you’re already a patron, click on the MEMBERS link in the top menu, then follow the instructions in the big white box to set up your free account on the DOTU website. Once your account is set up, you’ll see a button to connect your Patreon. After you press that, you’ll be able to see patrons-only content right here on the DOTU website!
Here’s what you can already find:
- This page 🙂
- The first 3 chapters of Merritt’s Story
- The entire Secret Gallery if you’re pledging $10 or higher
- A secret message at the bottom of my author comment on the previous page (ch4p83)
Here’s what’s coming soon for patrons:
- More early access pages, until we’re caught up! And then, brand new pages!
- ALL of Merritt’s Story, books 1 and 2! And then, brand new chapters!
- Monthly pen pal letters will start posting at the end of the month
- All 600+ quarterly Sketch Tier sketches
- On-site checkout for folks who don’t want to use Patreon! (This is technically already here if you search hard enough. But, for now, I recommend signing up through Patreon because there’s a bigger backlog of bonus content there.)
Why the big upgrade? Patreon is great for sending out rewards, but not so great for archiving the massive amount of content I’ve built up. It’s hard for people to read patrons-only pages or Merritt’s Story chapters in chronological order, or to find all the different categories of content that are available. And this also gives me a way to give my precious two direct Paypal supporters a better way to access all the same content. And I wanted it to be easier for non-patrons to see all the stuff that’s available without having to bounce across multiple sites.
Please let me know how it works for you! And PLEASE PLEASE ESPECIALLY let me know if you run into any glitches or technical issues!
New pages and other content will still be posted directly to Patreon too!
