My personal experience with crowdfunding in general and Patreon in particular is that people are at the heart of it _most interested_ in supporting You, The Writer, and that the stories, pictures, whatever, is essentially bonus material to them no matter what it is. With Kickstarter since you're selling a particular project it's especially *nice* if it comes through, but an awful lot of people (including myself) tend to regard the eventual reward as like an unexpected, not necessarily anticipated, gift.
I love posts about the revision process from other writers, because it never works the same for anybody and I think that's fascinating. I'd be totally down for food blog stuff, because yay!
I'm pretty sure you could get mileage out of an Ex Garden topic. :)
An important thing is to try not to make too much *extra* work for yourself, so if you'd be inclined to do revision process posts anyway, y'know, that's a plus. But if you're really not emotionally inclined to do that, the truth is we're probably all pretty easy and if cat photos are on the menu, then that's what we'll have, and happily, if you'll just take our money. <3
