Patreon and a monthy prompt post

[sharpeningthebones]

My 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.

Okay, this sounds fascinating. I'm curious to see how it works for you, as I might set up something similar myself if it's feasible.

I did end up making a post about it on my journal if you'd like to go poke. The short version is simply that while it is promising, it still has some stuff to work out. However, clare_dragonfly and I have found that they are very willing to take comments and suggestions.

Yes...

From your description, Patreon sounds like an interesting service. It's good that they're taking suggestions.

I'll go check it out! And by "it", I mean both your post and the site itself.
