Good day everyone! I know this is a bit odd, me putting out another update, but there are things that need to be addressed, so, let's get into it!For those who may not have read the last update, or are new, you should know that the 1$, 3$ and 5$ tiers are going to be deleted soon. Why is this? Simply because of the price hike that is already in motion, via the new 2$, 4$ and 6$ tiers. I also have already begun moving moving the story chapters and content I write to the new tiers, so only they may access them. Some people might be wondering why this is happening. Simply put, as a writer who is writing 3 stories simultaneously, charging only 1$ for access to them is short changing myself and the hard work that I do.This is why, after 4 years of writing these stories, I have decided to effect a price hike. For those who might be worried that I would make such hikes a thing, worry not, as this is a one time only thing. As I said, charging so little for access to 3 stories felt like I was short changing myself, but I'm not a greedy bastard, lol!This hike has already taken effect and the old tiers will soon be gone. Given that a lot of folks still haven't transferred over, it has me thinking that 3 days isn't enough time for that. So, I am extending the time for everyone to transfer over, until Noon EST, Saturday, June 12th. At this point, tier deletion will happen the new tiers will be all that remains.I understand if some people don't want to stay, and that's fine, as not everyone would understand why I'm making this move. If you are among those who wish to leave, as you think I'm being unfair, that is your opinion, which I respect and I wish you well! For those who are staying, a big surprise is waiting around the corner! What is it? Well, you'll have to wait to find out! I hope that you are all doing well during these times and that you're all staying safe out there! Cheers!!

I always try to compare it to the price of books. If a writer writes enough for the $10 I have to spend, to make it mostly a full book, then I'm happy. For most of the writers I back at a low tier, or read on sites like SOL, I tend to actually buy the books if they're available. Ever thought about doing something along those lines? I know SOL has its own sort of publishing business, and there are several other writers that do Amazon, or have their own publisher.

Well I added you to my list of supported authors yesterday. I didn't really like the monthly payment option but you do seem to have put out many chapters. This being the first post from you is not putting my mind in the best position. I will see how it goes in the next month or two.

If this helps, CH has been consistent with releasing content. Compared to some I support at a per chapter basis, an increase of $1 a month for 3 chapters isn't unreasonable. Also he mentioned it last month so this has been in the works.

Brian

I agree it is not unreasonable. But I joined yesterday, where it surprised me by charging my PayPal immediately and not at the end of the month like every other author. and now the day after I joined I need to change my membership and probably will charge my PayPal again. These are changes that should come at the monthly changeover and not in the middle. This is what makes me hesitant of this author, whom I discovered on Lit last month and decided to support here. I will be here for a few months. If I enjoy the content I will stay, if not I won't.

Brian

And just an added note, it did charge me again when I changed tiers, but it only charged me the amount needed to bring me up to the new tier and not the entire amount. So it charged me $1 to bring me to the $2 tier. Just for others who are also hesitant. My initial plan was to let you kick me and then rejoin next month so I could be sure I wouldn't be billed twice but changed my mind as it would only be $2. So the $1 was a bonus. :)

Just out of curiosity, why not charge on a title basis? $2 gets you one story, $4 gets you two and $6 gets all three. Asking for a friend. ;|

I am finally free. C.H. had me locked in the brig rereading past chapters of Project Prometheus. I can understand everybody concern about the price going up, but I consider it a small amount to pay. We all waste more than that amount buying takeout for our family in a month.

Took me a little while to make sense of it as I'm in the UK and the amounts didn't match. Perhaps a 1.1 in the new level title would help those who don't see the dollar amounts

Michael56Smith

And how was C.H.'s Brig? was it spartan?,.. or was it a comfy place to read?,.. and were you well fed?,.. Was C.H. a mean and sadistic Warden? or was he a real sweetheart, just locking you away for your own good?,.. -- I missed you Cornbread, those other guys give our asylum a bad name! ;-) I upped my tier already,.. Project Prometheus alone is worth it,.. TTFN

Cornbread

Mike, It was quite roomy, he gave me a pillow and beer. I was able to hear him typing so I think he already working on the next chapter. He told me there would be spoilers, but would not give details.

I always thought your pricing was a bit low considering it was per month not per chapter. My only complaint in this is I have to be bothered to change the subscription myself. It is amazing I noticed this was happening before the expecting timing of the next Prometheus chapter.

upgraded and thanks for the heads up....

Just subscribed to your Patreon and luckily saw this post first thing as I had no way of knowing the $5 tier was going away in a couple days!!!

I always strive to keep my patrons informed of what's going on. I wouldn't be a proper creator if I didn't.

I will eventually get around to publishing physical books, once time is no longer an issue. I'll speak more on that once the day I write full time is much closer.

You can start with eBooks :) That's how a lot of other writers do it nowadays as well. And it gives you a chance to include all fixed and changes etc. Although that would probably be at the cost of new releases, due to the time it takes.. So.. Uuh...
