I can't believe I've hit the pledge goal of $1500 and only six months after starting this Patreon page!

Now to write something really creative and offensive for my resignation letter! :D

All joking aside, I'll see how the patron numbers pan out over the next month or so, just to check to see if the figures dip, plateau, or continue to rise. I'm now seriously considering leaving my current job based on how phenomenally successful my writing has been so far, but the figures will determine if I'll need to do a brief spot of contracting in the interim period before properly going full time as a writer.

A huge thanks to all my Patrons, in particular to those who've been spreading word of mouth about the story to try and encourage more people to join the Patron site.

In terms of the story, we're starting to get to some really good bits now, so I hope you continue to find the story fun and interesting!

Cheers

Tefler

That's so fucking awesome. Keep up the great work and we'll keep paying.

Rob

It's a great story, and well written, how could we not tell everyone about it. Congrats man!!

CJ Mora

Congrats, Tefler! Keep up the great work! Morningstar- who "won, the pool?

William R. Stokes

A very smart idea one way you could try it is if your place of employment has an extended leave instead of out right quiting as a trial as well.

Thefroman13

I second that or even ask for unpaid leave for a trial basis As a side note id rather the quality remain the same than an increase in frequency

Byroz

Congrats, well deserved for such an awesome story.

Sparhawk

Congratulations Tefler.

Jason Chan

Congratulations! Been with you since chapter 20 something and planned to pledge before you got to 1500 but never got around to it. Nonetheless very well deserved.

Dragonkain

Congrats. I've read the story over and over again while you write and it's awesome to see it growing. I'm glad that you've reached a point where full time is an option. I hope it works out for yards.

Thetues

Hope it works out that you can start the new full time job as soon as possible. : ). Will we get to read the resignation letter? I have always dreamed of being able to write one of my own.

Chefy

Congratulations Tefler! It's really exciting to be part of this loyal group of readers and continue to support you as a writer. I've read a lot of scifi authors but none of them have the depth and the creativity you put into your work. I guess it's being able to find balance in all the elements that you use to make one great chapter time and time again. Cheers!

Jedi Khan

Congrats Tef! So, any thoughts on what the next goal should be?

Ben Linus

Congratulations Tefler

Tefler

Thanks very much for the messages everyone! I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all your comments on the site over the last few months, and all the positive feedback you've given me makes the writing so much more rewarding!

Robert P Heck

CONGRATALATIONS Tefler!!!!! You have earned it and more.

Morningfrost

Congratulations Tefler! Reading the post though, are you considering leaving your job even though it's currently only the first chapter of the month that gets the $1500? I imagine subsequent chapters are probably half or less? ~Morningfrost

Tefler, I don't want to dismiss your goal nor your magnificent achievement in any way, but I agree with Morningfrost on this. As has been said, the $1500 per month per chapter goal has still not yet been reached, since Patreon gets its cut, PayPal gets some more, and so you're out over $100 off the top, just on the first chapter. Don't get yourself into a financial bind by moving too quickly! I think it's very wise of you to plan to see how this all plays out for at least a month or two, so that you know what your actual rate of return will be on that pledged amount. I know that everyone wants to see more of this story done more quickly over time, but I'm reasonably confident that no one wants to see you get hurt in the process, and even Crazy - not to mention Jedi Khan - would agree that it's better for you to be a bit cautious in making that particular leap. Having said that, again, felicitations on achieving such a momentous milestone in your efforts to become a full time author! I'm hoping to see more of your work sooner than later, as you proceed into the future.

Never thought I'd be paying $3 a chapter for a scifi story. But your story gives me much more enjoyment from the bai drinks I buy every day for $2 a pop. Keep it up Tefler. Hopefully when it's all said and done you can make a nice book out of this.

Pakal

FYI: From a purely financial viewpoint, I think it would behoove you to rewrite a PG version of this story so you can milk the most out of it. All the sex is going to be hard to sell but if you can find a way to clean it up (i.e. he's a psychic healer using chi or some such) you might be able to make a killing. Not that I personally have any objections to it, but you know how uptight society is.

Jedi Khan

And we're at 900 patrons!

DemonHunterCole

Tefler, can I recommend you set up a update schedule for each chapter. Like once every two weeks on a Saturday, or something similar. This would allow you a little more freedom in how much time you spend writing, and let you build up a que so that if you go on vacation this summer like last summer, we don't suffer a month long withdrawal. Even if it's just temporary for a month or two before your vacation, that would help us 3SQ junkies.

I've about down with my something like 8th read of the entire collection. I'm picking up a few errors and unclear paragraphs. I will try to assemble a list, but so far I get too wrapped up in the story to stop and make notes.

Don's Projects

Even if you decide not to "stick it the man" it is truly empowering to be to say it.

thomas

m pretty sure that we would all prefer you make sure your income is sufficient and reliable than create a problem by jumping too fast to quickly. None of us (besides crazy) would begrudge a progressive transition to full time professional author. We love you, you beautiful bastard.

So Tefler, what's the latest update on your fiscal situation? Do you know yet if you're really actually going to quit your job, or is $1500 per chapter after expenses and including pledge limits that cut in on subsequent chapters in the month enough?!? I'd really like an update on this post!!!
