Patreon

“	All completed Past and NEW Pages will be uploaded and Publicly viewable on my Facebook Page, https://www.facebook.com/CwcvilleGuardian, in their respective photo albums.	”
Chris, September 2015, on Etsy, after receiving a $1,000 donation for the continuation of Sonichu 11.

“	The only way to see the pages of Book 11 before it is fully completed is to make monthly pledges on my Patreon.	”
Chris, June 2017, going back on his word.

Note his use of someone else's fanart to promote his profile.

Patreon is a website where users can request donations. It has extremely liberal definitions for fundraising goals and does not impose consequences on creators who fail to deliver, making this yet another platform for Chris to get paid without doing work, much like his current Support button on YouTube.

Chris joined on 30 November 2016. He made multiple mistakes on setting up the account - he set it with a request for $250,000 per month instead of a total goal, he chose to limit big-ticket donations to once per month, he offered redundant gifts for any donors above the $50 mark and he used someone else's fanart of Sonichu and Rosechu for his account profile.

He was "hesitant" to join the site. On 28 November, he said, "I am unable to offer gifts and whatnot, even previews", because he lost his inspiration after Lulu.com banned him from its site for selling fan fiction in December 2015. It was an unusual display of self-awareness from Chris, in that he admitted he would have difficulty meeting his goals. It was in contrast to his time as a seller on Etsy, during which he accepted orders while having a large backlog due to spending too much time on the PS4, which led to the forced closure of his shop for failure to send products.

However, just two days after his initial post on Patreon, he changed his mind after Barb had to pawn a necklace, which she had to sell at a significant loss for $325, due to the Financhu Crisis.

Overview

Honest Content?

The option Chris checked.

The full title of the account is "Christine Chandler is creating Sonichu and Rosechu Official Comic Books and Products." While this was a laughably untrue claim for much of his first year on the site, beginning in June 2017, Chris began to actually draw Sonichu again.

It is marked by Chris as "NSFW", presumably to keep it from appearing in Patreon's search results.

Chris embedded Patreon announcement. It was replaced with CLog Special - PATREON & MORE in October 2017.

I am the original creator of Sonichu and Rosechu, Christine Weston Chandler, also known as Christian, Christopher, Chris Chan and so forth among my fan base and many trolls and cyber bullies on the internet since 2000. I have drawn and colored more than eleven books worth of stories, content and so forth, as well as my own official Sonichu and Rosechu figures and merchandise. I am looking to expand, officially, and in person/face-to-face; not long-distant over the internet. (Too many phonies and fakers) I still reside with my mother and our dogs and cats, and we have a slew of financial problems, alongside a number of being the victim of internet trolls, blackmail and deception, and so forth, that have long emotionally and mentally scarred me greatly. My creativity has been affected, and the only resolve, I feel, is less worries hanging over my head. And the home finances are a start that I'd like very much to resolve, including the mortgage and debts. And that is why I am here on Patreon, to hopefully free our household of all that financial stress and find better peace of mind for myself to better be able to create again. The $250,000.00 Goal is the full amount goal; I had not intended to that to be a Montly Amount, but the altogether Goal, in general. My apologies for the confusion there. The extra $50K in the goal is for allowance for room, and for saving for future rainy day(s).

Goals

$250,000 per month Pay off ALL of my home's finances, including the Mortgage and Credit Cards, so I can feel better peace of mind and less weight long-time hanging over my head like many hippopotamuses, and will feel better able to draw, color, create and so forth of my very own Sonichu and Rosechu.

In January 2017, Chris edited the goal down to $500 per month.

Rewards

For the first seven months, Chris offered a set of rewards which demonstrated his poor understanding of how Patreon works. Beginning in June 2017, he retooled the options to much more reasonable standards.

From November '16 to May '17

Chris's reward section was initially filled with ludicrous stretch-goals, where one will find themselves having more or less the same benefits from pledging $50 a month as pledging $100,000 a month, once again showing Chris's inability to comprehend finances; or he just lazily copy and pasted each of the goals.

Those who pledge should notice just how shit Chris treats, well, everyone. Pledge an incredible amount of money and you will be allowed to make 1 video request, and it must adhere to Chris's strict guidelines. Even someone donating a small fortune every month isn't allowed the freedom to request a video on what they want.

It is also worth noting that donators giving $50 or more every month will be allowed to add Chris on Skype. This will give weens who enjoy burning money to have "direct" contact with Chris, however it is unknown just how frequently he uses Skype, if at all. More likely, his inbox will just be filled up with hundreds of JUUULLLAYYYs and other nonsense that will just be ignored when he signs into Skype.

Prior to revamping his rewards, he had been receiving $28 per month from 4 patrons, with two of them subscribing to the $10 tier.

Pledges received

Chris's Patreon started out small, but as time went on, weens threw more and more money at him, not realizing he spends it on frivolities and often fails to send out the rewards promised to patrons, claiming he ran out of money.

Banner

The banner for his account is plagiarized from another person's fanart of Sonichu and Rosechu.

“	It’s a lovely piece of art, I am not stealing it, I am using it in full appreciation of the artist that drew it, as much as possible. And, it doesn’t matter: it has Sonichu and Rosechu; they both, all the others and the city of Cwcville, are mine, regardless.	”
Chris.

Chris as a patron

Chris has supported several Patreon users, despite doing so during the Financhu Crisis.

DoopieDoOver	Began pledging around 22 June 2017. He pledged at the $50 tier during July. Blocked by Doopie on 2 August.
KittenBell	A NSFW account by Doopie for porn art requests. Began pledging on 1 August 2017. Blocked by Doopie on 2 August.
Planet Dolan	Began pledging on 1 August 2017.
Cole Smithey	Attempted to pledge $50 on 1 August 2017, however, Cole had him blocked.
Michelle Creber	A My Little Pony voice actress. Began pledging on 19 August 2017.
Kipteitei	Artist who draws "chubby anime girls". Chris plagiarized much of his announcement regarding upfront charging from a Kipteitei post. Jessica Quinn had influenced Chris to support this Patreon, since Quinn has likes on fat fetish Facebook pages. Began pledging on 20 September 2017.

Updates

• 1 December - Chris added Skylanders products to the gift offerings on the $50-$1,000 tiers. He added $500 as a tier, but screwed up and entered it under the $50 category. He also clarified the Overview section by explaining that he had intended the $250,000 to be a total goal, rather than a monthly one, showing that he still has unrealistic views on how much he can scam out of people. He still did not decrease the 'goal' from $250,000. Finally, he removed the once-per-month donor limit from all tiers.

• January 2017 - He edited the Goal down to $500 and added $10 as a donation tier.

• June 2017 - Overhaul of the rewards section, offering previews of colored Sonichu pages to patrons.
