Workshop FAQ Thread!
Added 2019-03-03 05:23:04 +0000 UTCHello my Lovelies!
This post is open for all tiers to read!
Patreon changed it's TOS and I am no longer allowed to record personal audios.
However I wanted to find a way to still let you make your ideas known and thank the people of the Personal Tier for their extra support.
The Workshop thread is available each month to people in the $4.99 tier. If you want to join the tier and submit your idea request you are more than welcome to do that!
I am so excited to collaborate with you and make audios that will touch you.
For those of you who have never been a part of one of my workshop threads, it's very easy and very fun:
♣ Each Month: Every Lovely in the $4.99 tier can leave ONE audio request per month.
- The audio idea can be of anything you desire.
- Try to keep the idea explanation short so that I can select ideas more quickly.
- I will visit the thread during the month and choose ideas that spark inspiration!
♣ Things to keep in mind
First and foremost - Relax and have fun.
This is the first of MANY workshop threads. Don't stress about coming up with the perfect idea or worry about being chosen or not. If your idea doesn't get chosen one month, you can submit it again the next month or choose something completely new!
If You Are Shy
I know in the past PAs were more back and forth and done privately, but the back and forth and the detail of a very personal request often was the reason they took so much time.
I LOVED making them and having the back and forth with the draw winner but right now I can't offer that much of a time investment because of my other responsibilities.
I hope you understand. If you find your audio ideas too personal to share I completely understand if you don't want to be part of the Personal audio tier.
I want everyone to be comfortable.
Thank you so much for bearing with me through the bumps and valleys this year has brought my personal life. It means so much that you've stuck with me. Your support is so very appreciated.
~Your Loving Mayor

2019-11-08 21:41:01 +0000 UTCfor my birthday (November 10) how about a slutty bday audio where u give me the most passionate bdsm session ever!!!
2019-11-07 00:55:28 +0000 UTCHey lovebug, yes anyone in the $4.99 tier participates in the workshop threads. Even if you have won a PA before, you should still submit an idea per month as it not only benefits the group at large with your creativity but there is a small chance that he will choose your idea and you will win another one (well this is the last month that can technically happen because of the changes Patreon made). Does that make sense and answer the question? Love you!! Kisses and hugs!!
2019-05-04 16:24:12 +0000 UTCWhy is Patreon so strict all of a sudden with what Creators can and can't do? And observing Creators' entire online presence? 😵 It doesn't even bother me that I very likely won't get a PA, but I'm so sorry for you that they're putting an end to something you always said you loved doing. Especially now, after the Workshop threads have been so promising and we were all having so much fun with this new format 😟 I really hope this doesn't add further stress for you and that it won't take away the pleasure in what you do! Is there anything we can do to support you (apart from sticking with you obviously)?
2019-05-03 19:53:32 +0000 UTCI am so bummed that Patreon is disallowing PAs at the end of the month! Very disappointing to hear....I loved the idea of perhaps having an audio for my ears only 😞 I wish you nothing but the best of luck with your family health issues...lots of love to you from Toronto ❤😙🍁😙🍁😙❤

2019-05-03 19:20:43 +0000 UTCHave my ideas written down. Only problem is, I go into so much detail with my stories, so I'm trying to shorten them lol
2019-05-03 19:02:29 +0000 UTCI'm thinking more challenge type audios...
2019-04-11 05:30:58 +0000 UTCHey Angie, I was wondering about something...do previous PA recipients participate in the workshop thread, or is it solely for people waiting? I know his goal is to make a PA for every patron soo I haven’t come to any logical conclusion one way or the other..ღ☺️🤷♀️ Also, I don’t want to be bothering everyone with dumb questions so I’m trying to decide which ONE person to bother🤪 if at any point I have one that I’m not quite comfortable asking on the thread. I don’t want G to have to deal with a bunch DMz from us.. and I don’t want to be annoy the wrong person here 🤔😬😁😇😇 Kisses and hugs💕
2019-04-09 18:57:32 +0000 UTCNew month, new post. You can use an "old" idea or post a new one.. I will look at each month separately. Just in case last month a lovely was in the mood for a meditation and this month decided they wanted something spicy. I give you the freedom to change your mind by starting each month fresh. 💗
2019-04-02 17:56:13 +0000 UTCQuestion.... Gael, for any ideas that we previously submitted... do we need to resubmit them each month for a chance to have it selected? My apologies if this has already been answered 🥰
2019-04-02 17:47:40 +0000 UTC"If You Are Shy"... yes, I am. But only by name--not personality. 😆
2019-03-09 00:19:10 +0000 UTCNonono, we don't believe in stupid questions 😉 every question is valid and we are all happy to help and answer if we can! 😊💗 You didn't ask anything bad or stupid, not knowin/understsnding something is not a crime. Do chin up, we don't want your crown to slip, lovely! 😊💗👑
2019-03-07 07:48:49 +0000 UTCGlad to say this is my first comment since becoming a patron couple days ago so a big Hello to Gael and all the other Lovelies here! 💋 I've been a listener for almost a year now and it's thanks to our awesome Playroom Penguin for guiding me to Gael's world over on Tumblr :) so glad I can finally show my full support here. Lots of love and blessings to everybody & my deepest thanks/gratitude to Gael for all he has done and for his good vibes. What an angel 😇
2019-03-06 14:26:57 +0000 UTCYup, I requested it on the thread 😁👍 I’mma do the virtual equivalent of annoyingly poking Gael with a stick until he makes that audio!<br> 👇<br>👉🤦♂️👈<br> 👆
2019-03-06 04:20:43 +0000 UTCGood luck lovelies ❤☘❤☘❤☘
2019-03-06 02:10:18 +0000 UTC.... Gael, I understand well the situation in which you are and even if I wait with trepidation the PA, I have a lot of patience and I can wait like an old wise (honestly, I would not be ashamed to make my PA listen publicly to the community of Gaelandia: here we have all the same kind of emotions, therefore, it's not a secret to try pleasure). I only hope that your problems will be solved soon (Ɔ ˘⌣˘)Ɔ〰♥ I'm not part of the 3rd level. Personally, I want to support you in another way: I like to buy your albums on Itunes. That's all.♥♥
2019-03-06 00:01:10 +0000 UTC@Doc I can’t find your idea or am I dreaming that you mentioned a third part to the Bloodlust audio? I hope it wasn’t a dream. I’d love another part as well ❤️
2019-03-05 21:43:32 +0000 UTCI can't answer the first, but I'm 99.9% sure the ideas email is still up and running, because those who are not on Patreon can also send in ideas.
2019-03-05 20:39:31 +0000 UTCIf you are not in the PA tier, it's better to send your ideas to gaelforceaudioideas@gmail.com, since the thread is for those who are waiting for a personal audio.
2019-03-05 20:37:32 +0000 UTCI have some questions. I'm not on the PA/ Workshop tier (yet) and just trying to figure out if it's the right one for me 😜 I hope that's okay. 1) what exactly will make the PA's "personal"? The name we would include? Cause I think I'd actually prefer the general terms you always use anyway, in which case I wouldn't need an audio personalized and wouldn't want to take the place from someone who wants that. 2) will the e-mail adress for audio ideas still be up? In other words - will the workshop thread be the only chance at the moment to submit ideas? Thank you for all that you do!
2019-03-05 20:29:20 +0000 UTCIt's a very good plan and solution.. And of course taking care of your family is the most important thing.. And you have found a good solution 👍Looking forward to your next audio.. I am very busy with my book project, and especially when some of the cats put themselves on the keyboard 😻😻Cats OGlory 😜😂😜So your audios are most appreciated 👍☘️👍Have a lovely Goodass Prana evening 👍❤️👍☘️
2019-03-05 20:14:08 +0000 UTCQuick reminder not to post your requests in this thread. This is just for FAQ and such. Every month there will be a new thread for entries. This months is here: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/march-2019-only-25092246">https://www.patreon.com/posts/march-2019-only-25092246</a>
2019-03-05 19:30:50 +0000 UTCPst, there is an actual ideas thread here, post it there, otherwise it won't happen: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/march-2019-only-25092246">https://www.patreon.com/posts/march-2019-only-25092246</a>
2019-03-04 16:26:51 +0000 UTCMy audio wish: hearing you say a bunch of words ending in vowel+t: “light,” “forget”, “wait”... interspersed with the occasional “c’mere” and laugh. 🥰 What can I say? I’m a simple girl. 😂 Just a joke wish. Kinda. 😆
2019-03-04 15:53:44 +0000 UTCBeautiful words Holly. I for one am so glad you are here now and that you have shared your thought/wants/desires/stresses. I always enjoy reading your comments. You are golden love. XD
2019-03-04 08:09:42 +0000 UTCOh Gael, I’m unbelievably happy that you have found a way to do all the things you need to do, while still doing other things that make you happy. That’s the most we could wish for as human beings tbh. Even though it doesn’t feel good much of the time! I personally love your idea. It was a hurdle for me.. taking that leap and sharing what I did on the holiday workshop thread, but I’m so glad I did. If for no other reason, than to get out of my head and comfort zone and make a decision to trust a bunch of ladies with probably the most hidden/vulnerable part of me. And trust the man who made it all possible. ♥️ Because of that leap, I learned so much more about myself and our group than I expected. It pushed me to keep doing it.. Keep practicing at being outside of my introverted brain. It helps to know that so many women are open enough to talk about their own struggles too. I have this ridiculous notion that I’m significantly more flawed than everyone else. So for me, being able to talk about mine in a group setting is huge. But as the holidays approached, the one thing I knew for sure was that I couldn’t go it alone anymore. I was desperate. But now, at this point in time, I have everything I need to succeed. The forefront of my struggle was so big that I couldn’t even imagine being able to focus on my need to heal the scariest, most real and deepest cut. I’m definitely feeling like it’s finally possible! So this workshop is a fun way to share my own ideas with a new comfort.. I can trust this place, this group, these ladies and most importantly YOU. If you were anyone else (other than who you are as a person, heart and soul) you wouldn’t have attracted the attention of all these other beautiful souls. Thank you for sharing your Lovelies with me! I’ll see you in the workshop😁 Kiss kiss hug -`ღ´-
2019-03-04 04:42:58 +0000 UTCI'm glad your voice is better and hope your stuffy nose cleared up. Thank you for being so kind and finding a way to work all of this in to your already really busy life. Your family is blessed to have you looking out for them as we are to have you sharing your creativity with us. I'm thrilled and excited about all of it and happy it allows you to do what you need to and spark your creativity. 🤗💜
2019-03-03 19:13:05 +0000 UTCA lovely idea Michlee would you mind putting it in the entry thread so I don't lose it in the shuffle?
2019-03-03 18:33:12 +0000 UTCYou meet a shy, emotional woman going through a divorce where the husband was verbally abusive. You use your words and body to help her come out of her shell. NSF
2019-03-03 18:21:29 +0000 UTCNew in Gaelandia (been listening to everything for a couple weeks now) and I just had to level up to be here with all the other lovelies!❤ This will be such an amazing creative experience and I love how you are trying so hard to reach all of us with the PAs. So happy you are feeling better and I know how it can be when we are being pulled in so many directions. It is especially difficult when its about those we love the most. Your talent is amazing and I'm thrilled to send you some ideas.❤
2019-03-03 15:51:59 +0000 UTCI did ask G about this particular thing when he first talked about the workshop idea, since I saw others asking about privacy too. I do not want to talk for him, because I'm sure he would or will answer these questions, but what I've gathered from his answer, is that right now this is the only way he can manage to make audios with all the other responsibilities in his life, otherwise he might have to give up on them entierly. I think if maybe things settle down a bit, or work out in a good way for him, he might go back to the old ways, or maybe opens up his PMs for those who are a bit more private when it comes to their desires. But only he knows what he can do, so I don't want to talk for him. But I wouldn't give up hope entierly. 😉
2019-03-03 14:53:03 +0000 UTCWhat if one is in that tier but doesnt feel comfortable sharing their idea publicly?
2019-03-03 13:54:22 +0000 UTCYay! Hope your voice is 100% and you’re feeling great!
2019-03-03 13:27:39 +0000 UTCYou're absolutely right Leanne! 💖 Every audio is like a gift for us, and it's amazing how much time you still have for talking with us Gael, here and twitter. ❤ You just remember to take care of yourself too Batman. 😘 We'll be here! 😊 ~Catwoman~
2019-03-03 09:33:48 +0000 UTCIt's going to be a wonderfull year! 💖 I already have 3 ideas 😅, one of them is just very close to my heart, so I have to muster up some courage to write it down here. I might send you a DM about it, there's some things I wan't to ask your opinion about. 😊
2019-03-03 09:27:24 +0000 UTCI was grinning like a lunatic while reading this post 😁 This is going to be so fucking GREAT!!!! *attack hug*

2019-03-03 08:52:10 +0000 UTCI like this set up a lot more because the Christmas workshops have been fantastic. As for you, I’ll reiterate what I said before; you’re a creator, you create, you respect us and in turn we respect you. I understand that in order to care for your family you have to put yourself and your family first and in doing so you still think of us. Of course family comes first, hands down, so you do whatever you have to in order to meet their needs because you love and care for them. In this little corner of the internet you are our Mayor, the G man or whatever other nicknames people like to call you but behind this, behind the audios and the creator is a man who has a life away from the microphone and we respect that. We’ll always be here to support you because you support us, you respect us, you’re considerate of us and that’s why we keep coming back and why that makes you the BEST creator. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed so I want to thank you for that. Thank you for choosing to keep us up to date with the little challenges life throws at you. But mainly thank you for being you. We wouldn’t be here without you, literally. Look what an amazing community you’ve created. You did that. You! A place full of lovely people who respect each other, support each other and have the same mutual respect and support for you. We’ll always be here, no matter what, Gael. And I have a few ideas lined up for that workshop thread 😏 ~ L 💜
2019-03-03 08:22:20 +0000 UTCSounds epic to me.
2019-03-03 08:01:34 +0000 UTCAlready got an idea. I will post it there now 😜
2019-03-03 06:30:12 +0000 UTCVery excited for us all 😍😍 good luck ladies!

2019-03-03 06:22:45 +0000 UTCMy writer side just giggled with a look of "yes.... yes! The many creative writing ideas may come to audio life muahahaha" *insert dramatic laugh here*. I would love it if you voiced an audio story/idea of mine, Gael. You do such awesome audios already that I can only imagine what you would come up with, with mine or anyone elses. Can't wait. Hope the family is ok and much love from this lovely 😘😊
2019-03-03 05:53:36 +0000 UTCI understand & respect your choice of a workshop thread format for PAs, given the changes in your family obligations. It's a good solution, and I'm especially relieved for those Lovelies who haven't gotten a PA yet that there will still be a way for them to experience it. Personally, I'll be abstaining from the workshop threads for now, since the only scenario I'd want at the moment is unsuitable for a public audio. That said, I support your decision. Not changing my tier or support at all -- goodness knows the rest of what you provide here outside of the old PA draws is more than worth my monthly contribution (and then some)! So... best of luck to the Lovelies who enter, and I look forward to hearing the public fruits of your suggestions! 😉

2019-03-03 05:38:50 +0000 UTCOk, this post actually answered a lot of questions that I had been wondering about since you announced this new format. :) I'm going to ponder on this month's idea.🤓 Thanks, G! Much love, always.😙❤
2019-03-03 05:37:06 +0000 UTCNever won an audio tier before. I am glad there are still more opportunities!
