New Homestuck: Beyond Canon newspost about Patreon and update rate, https://homestuck2.com/news

• Update schedule: two updates October (so one coming soon), then one update a month (?!), might get increased as they get into the groove of things
• Patreon returns on October 30th (so you have a couple weeks to cancel if you don't want to automatically be charged)
• 5% of Patreon will be saved for [S] pages, albums, merch and other projects that require upfront money. Unknown why [S] pages would have a flow different from regular updates
• Any music made will have a fair split (seems like 100% to musicians minus operating costs? nice) instead of Hussie's hellish "70% What Pumpkin/30% musicians" ratio. James will reach out to the old music team and fan music groups, setting up some channels for that, whatever that means.
• Patreon exclusive content will only be exclusive for a few months, sounds like the same type of bonus content as before, barring the big bonus updates which are replaced by one-shot comics
• While James is being vague, MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION FROM READING THIS is that either Viz or What Pumpkin was siphoning a lot of money from the previous Patreon, instead of just the team, somehow. That's no longer happening.
• The original bonus update stories will be finished, and everything that matters will be addressed in the main, free story.

Overall incredibly awesome they're going into more detail, this kind of newspost is the gold standard.
