Is anyone doing anything special for Inksgiving?

I set two goals on 500 ink and 1,000 ink. First goal gives a special episode to my novel and second goal is still surprise

I am writing two bonus chapters, that can be unlocked for 1000 ink each ^^

I have a contest up.

I set my goals pretty high, but mostly because I'm writing multiple stories at an almost daily pace already.

100K ink gets 3 non cannon short stories that the top three supporters get to choose. So it could be their ships they wished had happened, or random things or whatever. story crossovers are okay too.
50k gets 2 stories
25k gets 1 story.

Here is my inksgiving message/story thingumy (so a technical term)

Ah, just saw this thread after posting mine!!
All the great ideas are here! hehe

As for myself, Rodimus13 suggested doing character profiles. If I do create a goal, I might go in that direction...

I basically have ink goals set up for commissions, extra stories, and access to chapters of a new novel if they are reached.

I'll be drawing something for top5 supporters. I had an idea about drawing them or their characters (whichever they'd like more) as an aoihito. xD

I unfortunately have too many commissions and work to do (while also trying to force myself to take breaks) so even tho i would love to start some goals for Inksgiving I just don't have the time to commit. So I just did a silly reminder for fun.

maybe next time I can start having some goals for people to look forward to ^^

I wanted to do something, like "we reach the goal, you get the thing!, but I never know what to make that my readers would like

I doubled my ‘pin of the month’ reward. So instead of one bonus illustration for 1000 ink drops, people get two

Rodimus13 2019-05-19 19:10:32 UTC #24

well, character profiles. Mini comics that go into lore. Free wallpaper. bonus comic. All of those are pretty universal.

A raffle for getting their OC put in as a guest character is fun too

Going to release a PDF file of an exclusive illustration for Detox if we hit our goal.

thanks for the ideas :o

I'm kind of having the same issue, Jenny-Toons. I really don't even know where to begin with goal setting as I'm rather vague on the ink/earned dollars conversion as well. I'm not one hundred percent certain, but I think 1,000 ink = $1?
Maybe someone with more knowledge on this can offer their input...

Sada 2019-05-20 03:09:27 UTC #28

I like the idea of stacking goals. A larger goal might be too ambitious, but the increasing goals might be something you can build on and maybe even rollover to next Inksgiving/event!

That's close to what I'm getting as well on the ink/dollars conversion.

VibrantFox 2019-05-20 04:05:56 UTC #29

By now I'm thinking teir rewards and all I've thought up so far is this:

Tier 1 | 1,000 Ink: Character QnA
Tier 2 | 5,000 Ink: Icons
Tier 3 | 10,000 Ink: Phone Wallpapers
Tier 4 | 15,000 Ink: Short Story/Lore Dump with most popular character(s) or something else*

I'm still uncertain about the numbers but I figure I can let the goals rollover after the event since I'll be putting together a support-centric series just for bonuses, rewards and other things anyway

I'm probably most excited about the icons but I'm hyped about giving wallpapers another shot too

Is anyone considering offering physical rewards?

Jenny-Toons 2019-05-20 12:01:15 UTC #31

As of now, it look like:
50 ink is 4 cents (so 0.04). I'm basing this on the amount I was given, and the amount of money showing in my account.
950 ink is 75 cents (so 0.75). @Rodimus13 offered me this conversion.

I just did a ratio conversion to see how much I could make for the event. I went with 40k at first (since that's 31, 32 dollars). But I switched that to 20k after a bit. I might change it back or change it up again, but for now, it's a reasonable goal.

Nothing special on my end I't my first inks giving so its pinky dipping in a pond type deal for me. In the meantime though I did make a comic for it... not the traditional kind of one though ha ha

I have a special episode up now and will be doing a Q&A.
