NEW £10 PATREON TIER - WRITER'S CLUB!
🕑 Added 2022-01-18 11:47:18 +0000 UTCWell, we've finally gone and done it. After so many of you have told us we were underselling ourselves... we've changed the Patreon tiers to British pounds, and added a brand new tier, at £10 (10% discount if you pay annually).
If you don't want to upgrade from where you're at... it's all good. And the lower tiers will stay the same. You'll still get what you always got... and the £5 level will continue to be called Top Tier!
Now, if you want to join a new tier from a lower one... I believe it's not as simple as just increasing your pledge. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you have to cancel your current tier, and then re-subscribe.
You won't miss out if you do that; every tier gives full access to all the benefits and past posts of the ones below it.
Part of why it has taken so long to do this is because I wasn't sure what I would offer at a higher tier. More specifically... I wasn't sure what I could offer that I'd stick at or have the time to do. Plus, having discussed it, we don't like the thought of people feeling left out, or that there's a sort of hierarchy - so we've gone for something that's a bit more niche and special interest-y.
In short: it's a tier for those who are interested in my job as a screenwriter, and/or working in TV.
I'll be sharing and discussing scripts I've written through blogs and videos, plus giving insight into my creative processes, the technical side of writing, and my thoughts on the film and TV industry in general. I'll also be doing occasional Q&As to answer any questions you may have. Whether you're an aspiring writer or just curious, I think it'll be interesting.
So. That's it! Sign up or not - one way or another, there'll be new stuff on its way for you all soon. Whatever level you support at... thank you. It means a lot to both Sanja and I.

But you ARE one of the nicest Kevins, probably.

Phew!

I have several screenplays that I've written, at various stages of completion, about talking animals, of various sorts. One of them is your classic Animal Farm/Babe/Charlotte's Web scenario, but with a lot of characters who sound suspiciously like Fran Drescher (the plot involves a rich farmer who hires a woman as a farm hand, or nanny to his farm animals (I would want her to be played by Fran Drescher, ideally)). Another one is a kind of space epic, but with all animals, many of whom sound like Fran Drescher (there is an inter-planetary alliance ruled by a queen, who I would prefer to be played by Fran Drescher). Another one is basically just Batman, but with animals instead of people, of course, again many of whom sound a lot like Fran Drescher, and I have gender swapped the Bruce Wayne/Batperson character and would prefer them to be voiced by Fran Drescher. If I bumped up to the higher tier, would you take a look at these screenplays? Maybe punch them up a bit and send them around to your network? Given that you are an established master of this genre, I thought I would put out some feelers here.

Despite not being one of the 'nicest Kevins' , I've still upgraded... 😜. Lol

I was already in for the $10 "top tier", so am I automatically "upgraded" to £10 or do I need to change my patronage? EDIT: ignore me, I think I get what's going on.

Great thinking, I hope you get a lot of new patrons at that tier!
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
Ah maaaaaan. Thank you, Chai.

Done! Also, oddly, it was charging me in £ before and has been since I re signed up last April after a break. Odd.
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
That's the thinking!
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
Cheers, mister.

Wahey!

Cheers, Dave.

Great to have the predictability of paying in sterling now, will make budgeting easier. And you get a little more into the bargain! The new tier is an inspired idea, hope it works out well and you get something from it too.

Happy to support. Consider it a back payment for all the years of entertainment you gave me in the 90s, as well. Difficult to find outlets for absurdity these days so many thanks on being my go to for scratching those weird little brain welts I have.
Sedric And Charlie
I'm going all in on the Top Tier

Done.

Good use of lateral thinking! This isn't for me, but it will be for many others, and I don't feel like I'm missing out!
