crowdfundingMy Patreon page.
I am giving this a shot to see how it works. So far, I am pretty fond of it. It's easy to subscribe to others, and I like that it allows you to have a public and private stream going. I will be updating every two weeks with something new, and, when I get patrons, I will be updating once a week, alternating between stories I will lock to only patrons and stories I will let everyone see.
If anyone is interested, I will also write up a post on DW about my experience with Patreon. Like I said, so far it's pretty good.
Also, although I mention that I am only taking prompts from people who donate, this will not be the case on DW. I will do monthly prompt posts with an alternate reward system on here, cause you lot are awesome and I love you.
The prompt post can be found here
The short version of the system? Leave a prompt, get a three paragraph sample, donate $2 or more and get the full story emailed to you. I will also be willing to feature something you do or want me to talk about on my journal, not just as a passing signal boost but as a proper post in itself.

Wow!

We can help by spreading the word. It'll work better with more folks involved.

Yes, I've been waiting for someone to build a site for regular projects. Kickstarter and all the other hub sites that I've seen are designed for one-shot projects. But many of the crowdfunders I know are doing something monthly or thereabouts.
