docs: document creator/Fan+ parity policy
Creators get every Fan+ benefit by default. Two carve-outs: the `+`
mark (creators carry a `c` mark instead) and the monthly credit
allowance (fan-only redistribution). Cross-referenced from tiers.md
so creators don't think they need a Fan+ subscription to access perks.

Fan+ will never gate access to any creator's content. It is separate from per-project membership tiers (which fans join); a fan can have both Fan+ and project memberships.

## Creators and Fan+
34
+
35
+
Creators do not need a Fan+ subscription to access Fan+ features. Every Fan+ benefit ships to creator accounts by default, with two exceptions:
36
+
37
+
- The **`+` mark** is fan-only. Creators carry a **`c` mark** instead, in the same position on the handle. The two marks are mutually exclusive: a creator account does not display `+`, and a fan account does not display `c`.
38
+
- The **monthly credit allowance** is fan-only. It is a redistribution mechanism funded by Fan+ subscription revenue, not a per-account perk.
39
+

+
Any other feature introduced under Fan+ (current or future) is automatically available to creators without a separate subscription.

Fan+ is managed entirely by the platform. No creator configuration needed.
**Need a larger file?** Big Files and Everything creators can request a per-file size increase beyond {{ tier_limits.big_files_per_file }} from the Storage tab of their account settings.

**Fan+ features come with your tier.** Creators do not need a separate [Fan+](./fan-plus.md) subscription to access Fan+ benefits; they ship with every creator tier by default. The two carve-outs are the `+` mark (creators have a `c` mark instead) and the monthly credit allowance, which is fan-only. See [Creators and Fan+](./fan-plus.md#creators-and-fan) for the full policy.
