Am I able to provide exclusive content to Superfans?
Hello -
On our Patreon we offer exclusive one shot and short comics to patrons; is this a feature that is available or in the pipeline for Globalcomix superfans? At present I only see an option to give superfans up to 14 day early access to a published book.
Are superfans able to see all of the published comics that are behind a paywall? What differentiates a donation from a superfan from someone paying to open a paywall?
Thanks! Great site.

Hey there @MythoverseComics
Currently there's only the option to give early access, but exclusive content is something that we're looking at adding early next year.
Regarding the difference between subscription paywall and superfan, it works like this:
The SuperFan Program Early Access can be used in combination with both free and traditional paywall models. Here’s how that works:
Free Comics
During the time period a new release is in early access mode, a reader is required to have donated to the creator/publisher within the past 30 days. After the early access window ends, the release opens up and is free to read for everyone.
Paywalled Comics
During the time period a new release is in early access mode, a reader is only required to have donated to the creator/publisher within the past 30 days to read the release. After the early access window ends, the release reverts back to a regular paywall model and all readers are required to have a Gold subscription or page credits to read it.

The short version is that superfan only gives you access to paywalled releases that are in their early access window. Once the window closes, you need a subscription to read the titles.

Thanks for the clarification Chris!
