Be a Part of My World: An Auction for Edally Academy (my upcoming webserial)

[aldersprig]

I have opened up an auction post for my upcoming webserial, Edally Academy.

Edally is a Steampunk Boarding School, set in a fictional semi-fantasy setting on a continent called Reiassan. It's a setting I've used often for fantasy stories in earlier eras of the setting (see the Reiassan landing page), as well as exploring the steampunk era.

The auction offers up a wide range of people, buildings, and things within the setting and the story to name - the House of the school the protagonist is part of, the Head of her House, the classroom Hall she studies in, the food she has for dinner.

Proceeds from this auction will work as a start-up fund for the webserial - art, advertising, domain name, server space, and so on.

Even if you're not interested in bidding, please boost the signal.

Thanks!

Getting Off the Ground (plus the Donate Button)

[finch]

Hello! I haven't done a web serial in probably five years, but I was thinking it might be a good way to get some traffic on my website and also maybe make money writing things I actually enjoy.

I was thinking about starting with the "post once a week and if donations reach X amount I'll update twice a week" model but I'm not sure whether that's the best way to go. Do y'all think this is a good idea? Is there something else you'd recommend more?

Also I looked at setting up a donate button on paypal and it talks about being an actual charity. I know I'm unlikely to reach the $10k or whatever threshhold but is there any other way to set up a "pay what you like" model with Paypal? I can't seem to find it if there is.
