My editor, has informed me that it is against the Volunteer Editor program, in which he is involved. for me request payment for anything that he has worked on. This means that I have one of two choices, either stop working with him, or shut down my patreon, page.

I guess my other option would be to simply publish all chapters open to public on here, and you guys would have the option to either support me or not, it would be your choice.

I would be interested in your thoughts and comments on this. I have not yet decided what to do - I might just kick the whole project into touch - if it's no longer fun - is there any point?


UPDATE!!!

So!!! the outcome - after much deliberation, I have decided that something had to give. Either the Patreon, the story, or the editor.....

So - i'm kind of looking for a new editor...

I have had a couple of offers already - one of whom I am very intrested in.

Caramon Burrows

I adore your caleb story so much that I would gladly donate to you through any means if it can continue the story.

Big Kahoona

I want you to continue the Caleb story by any means. I’ll donate if that’s your route.

Tom Ruddick

I hope you keep it up . I have enjoyed everything you have written so far. Keep Caleb going I already pay tell me how to change it to satisfy your editor.

Stephane Bedard

I would keep supporting even if the chapters were free.

CJ

But you are not requesting payment for the text? All the work will be published for free anyway? I guess there is a point with the early access. I would stay subscribed if you post the stories on the same day for everyone, if thats a loophole.

Mike

I would happily continue with my voluntary contribution.

Erik Houk

I'm a self serving bastard so I say do whatever gets me more stories =). If that means you drop and get a new editor, ok. If that means you publish everything for free, ok. Guess the question is for you, does the money from patreon make a difference in how motivated you are to post? For free means less subscribers I would assume. That being said I agree with Caramon, I will continue to subscribe regardless.

Bill Edgin

I too would happily continue with voluntary contributions. If you do decide to kick it into touch, I can only hope for a short line-out.

Jim Crane

I'm like everyone else on here. I love your Caleb story and eagerly look forward to each chapter. I'm happy to contribute voluntarily if needed to keep you writing. Please do not stop this story. If you want or need another editor, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll volunteer if no one else does.

omorrison

I too will keep contributing to keep the story alive.

Just Erik

I suppose the question really is, do you like your editor? (ok, sorta jokes lol) As you release the story for free, everyone who signed up for your patreon is really already doing so because they want to. Getting early access to something that is made available for free, isn't getting paid for the work because it is still being made available for free.

BW

I like your work. I would voluntarily donate to keep you writing. I think your works should be published. I will support whatever works best for you. If it was just grammar and spelling your editor did, I would suggest allowing a small group of your followers to proof read your work, but I strongly suspect the editor provides a lot more feedback then that.

Arthur Michener

I don't see a problem here. You don't charge by the story or by the chapter, Patreon is a monthly subscription site that is set up to help support the time you put into your stories. It is the same price if you publish 1 story a month or 30 stories a month. We're not paying for the stories individually, We're paying for your creativity and for your ability to entertain us.

Brian Kelly

I’m in agreement with everyone so far. I would voluntarily donate to keep your stories going.

Themobileholmes

I appreciate you providing us an opportunity for input. "Caleb" is a guilty indulgence for me. I chose the lower levels to show appreciation and support while you continue to write. I want to have reasonable expectations because writing is your passion, but not your primary job.

OkieDokeDude

What? I never heard of anything so counterproductive. Why would your editor care what you're doing with your stories? What happens if you write the great American novel? You have to give it away for free per his guidelines? I will continue to support you here whatever you decide, but it may be time to look for a new editor. I'm a little confused... I did not know the editor had the right or power or whatever to mandate how you distribute your work. I would be glad to volunteer my editing skills - such as they are - as have others before me. Bottom line: I will voluntarily support you even if you are forced to give away the farm. But, I feel that is terribly unfair to you - you deserve to be rewarded for your time invested and the creative spark that has spawned the tales and stories we've come to love here. We love what you write and share with us. I strongly urge you not to just throw all this away, but find a new editor (my offer stands) who will not impose such ridiculous rules and mandates.

Brittany durin

No problem I Pay monthly for your poems and the Caleb storyline just happens to be a side hobby to your poems

LOL - thanks Brittany - that cheered me up. I guess I'm going to have to write more poems then. I may be as bad as the Vogons though - so beware.

Tasgor

I would be willing to donate as well, and would be willing to help edit if necessary. Just let us know how we can help!
