IF YOU'RE HERE FOR STAKE SAUCE AND DEATH MASQUERADE, THEY'RE OVER HERE!

NOW...

WELCOME, AND THANK YOU.

Hi. I'm RoAnna Sylver. It's truly lovely to see you here. <3 I'm a blogger, author of the Chameleon Moon series - and now Stake Sauce and Death Masquerade - Moviepilot writer, digital artist, singer, actor, geeky video-maker.

I want to use my creativity to help people, especially LGBT, chronically ill/disabled/in pain, neurodivergent/otherwise marginalized people (LIKE ME!!), feel happy and safe and have a little hope in this increasingly actually dystopian world. 'Cause wow, we need it. I sure do.

We gotta have some hope.
We gotta believe Everything Is Going To Be Okay.
Especially when it hurts.

And that's why I made this Patreon. I need this too. More than I like to ask for.

Because of my chronically crap-tacular health, both mental/emotional and physical (ask me about my laundry list of genetic mutations and autoimmune disorders sometime! Mutant and Proud!) having a 9-to-5 job is pretty freaking impossible. And I might be a published author (THANK YOU!) but indie authors generally do not make big money - which is required to survive if you're chronically ill and disabled. Like me. So... I'm also pretty scared, all the time.

I know Chameleon Moon has already helped a lot of people, and I want to keep making more - but I need your help to do that.

Fortunately... you're gonna get Tons of Cool Stuff out of the bargain.

Have some questions? I have some answers.

"How will my support help you, Sylver?"

MOSTLY? VITAL HEALTH EXPENSES. SUCH AS:

Very Important MEDS. I take a lot of them, both to not die (seriously), and not be in pain. (Prescription pain meds, antidepressants, anti-seizure, blood circulation helpers, mast cell stabilizers, And More!)
Disability/Pain aids - stuff like scoliosis back braces (WANT), compression garments, and therapeutic massage that aren't covered by my insurance. Also, I need a lot of hot showers and electric blankets because my crappy autoimmune system can't keep me warm enough. Heating bills add up.
BOOK COSTS. Paying other independent creators and professionals like my amazing editorial, artist and design team. Literally, what you pay here helps me create future art/writing/Chameleon Moon itself.
Planning for my future. Eventually actually earning money in the positive instead of costing it. That's a far-off thought, but it'll come if I can 'make it' as a writer/artist. (I'm a millennial, my expectations are in the floor already. But I can dream.)
PEACE OF MIND. BREATHING. If I'm not worried/have a safety net in case of emergency (like my mom or myself ending up in the ER, like has happened before and can easily again) - I can write much more easily. Creating is hard when you're too paralyzed with anxiety to move.

"What kinds of things do you make?"

A maximum of 3 times a month, I will break out the Creativity, and do...

Short stories, Chameleon Moon-verse and otherwise. Before anything gets published, you get it first!
Depending on the tier, you can REQUEST writing, CM or anything else!
Articles, often about being a writer and artist, and how to make beautiful things while being chronically ill.
Character drawings/other art (Which you can also request depending on the tier!)
Original Songs
Voice acting/reading
Videos, usually Musical
Seriously, tons of stuff, most of which you can request. Check the rewards!

And All. Paid. Content. Is available. To All. Supporters. No matter how much you give. Even $1 will get you everything paid. The $1 patron will see the EXACT same amount of paid content that the $100 patron sees.

The only thing higher tiers pay for are the ability to influence what I make next, like through commissions/requests.

So, no matter what you pay, you see all paid content, and you will never pay for something you don't get to see.

"Okay, how often will you update/charge me?"

A MAXIMUM Of 3 times a month, and probably less. If this is too much for you, Patreon lets you set limits!

My crappy body/brain often says " hey, you know what, you're lying motionless today!" so, I'll often go months doing nothing - which is why I can't charge by the month here. Not taking your money for doing nothing.

So take your pledge and multiply it by 3, and that is the max you will pay me in a month. If this is too much, that's fine, set the option for what you can do.

I'm pretty sure that I'm here to create things that help others. But I need some support too. It's scary, being a sick, disabled person who can't hold down a regular job, but can make pretty cool art, music and writing. And with your help, I can keep making things that help and heal, because this is what I want to do with the life I have.

I'm still overwhelmed with gratitude for the love I've gotten so far. You might remember a picture of me from when I first heard Chameleon Moon was going to be published. All I could do was lie down on the floor and stare at the ceiling. It went a little bit viral and meme-ified.

I'm still there. You know, in my heart.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for being here. Thank you. <3
