Wont she be an archdemon by then?

MelasDelta

I mean, do we know when Demons become Archdemons? :eyes: Also, could I have your thoughts on the author's note question posed?

Do what you are comfortable with, but if you do change it from $10 to $5 then I'm still perfectly happy paying $10 even without any extra benefits.

MelasDelta

I appreciate it <3 I forgot to mention this in the author's notes, but another reason why I feel like doing this in addition to feeling very bad for charging people $10, is that I also don't want my fanbase to be too divided. I think it was pirateaba who told me not to do it because it would split my audience up, but I listened to the advice of another author then, not realizing what pirateaba meant.

well with the Patreon thing it really depends. You can technically earn more with the 5$ you just need more people, and when it's cheaper, people ( like myself,) will stay, but experiment and see. PS and I recommend giving some of salvos in 1tir one just to get people hooked)

MelasDelta

I'm not really aiming to earn more. I don't think I'll ever make as much as Shirtaloon. (He makes as much as pirateaba!) Personally, I just want to not lose a lot of patrons if I make the change. As in, not drop below $1000 xD If I make the change and make more than $1000, it's a win for me.

As a reader I won't say no to more chapters for less, but if I were to think from a writers prospective I would want to make it as reasonable as possible without negatively impacting my ability to create the story. There is also no harm in experimenting.

I back a bunch of different authors and plenty of them only charge $5 and do quite well. Depending on how the story is going I always reconsider backing the $10 stories but I never cancel the $5 ones. A great story (which you already have covered), consistent posting schedule, and $5 for advance chapters will lead to a lot of patrons.

MelasDelta

Hm, I might run the experiment now and make my decision before the end of the month.

MelasDelta

pirateaba (I assume is who you're talking about) is a different beast xD I wish I can write as much as them.

I think, if i remember right, the main reason I'm at $10 is because when I became a backer that was the only tier that had Salvos advanced chapters(I think RR was only 4 chapters at the time). I never read Melas because I'm bad at handling tragedy and/or kidnap/captured story lines(which from my understanding of reviews is the first 30 chapters of it. I still kinda want to read it because I like witch MCs that are not evil. Anyways I'd likely stay at $10 even if you made the change to $5 for all advanced chapters. That's mainly because I really like the story and your writing, and because I don't feel like your price gouging. I know there's been stories out there that I really liked but didn't back because the author wanted $13 or more for chapters. It's kinda funny how if you want $10 I'm fine but you start going $12 and I start feeling the author is being greedy. I kinda agree with Lictor Magnus though, at $5 I'd likely never even reconsider subscribing, even if I stopped reading the story.

MelasDelta

I see. Well, considering the comments so far on RR and here and SH, I think I might be effecting an experiment tomorrow till the end of the month to see if I don't screw myself over.

Minst_Meat

The reason I gave $10 was that I got hooked on reading from scribblehub and then wanted to continue reading right away. If you decide to lower it to $5 I think that would be cool for others but I myself will be staying at $10. I check after work everyday to see if a new chapter gets uploaded.

MelasDelta

Thank you. I will try to make up for it by giving side chapters. But we'll experiment this month first.

I mean I mostly subbed for the chapters but also cause writing is time consuming. If I want to get well, I should give. Your story is worth me supporting your effort in writing it. I will say that I don't mind if it moves where thr primary support is. It's not as if you're taking away from the people that supported or choose to support more. (Least that's how I see it.)

"the transparent {ones}" - I'd suggest swapping "type" in here, just because it ends up being a little awkward grammatically.
