After recently releasing a bonus chapter at the $15 tier, it got me thinking of other ways to give higher tiers more.

As you probably know, I write bonus chapters at the end of volumes specifically to drive up interest in the eBooks which I publish afterward.

That said... this has left an oddity of bonus chapters. Some are only in eBooks you can buy through my store, some were released free as advertisement and some are out at $5.

I dont like the idea of distributing all bonus chapters online at $5 tier, as this makes the eBooks less valuable. I'm pretty generous with vouchers at the $5 tier (when they work) as long as you're patient or only like one or two of my novels. However, for the $15 tier, getting everything without need for ebook seems like a nice benefit. I mean, ebooks still have editing and formating, but you get bonus chapters too.

So, I release all of the bonus chapters on my website? As for current bonus chapters that have been, they'll increase to $15, but let's face it, everyone who was around and interested when they were set at that price have already read them. This will not affect side stories or rush chapters. This is just a way of unlocking previously locked chapters. Thoughts?

If there a bunch against it, then i wont do it.

Meh

I've always thought your prices were too generous. Especially with the book-voucher every month. Of course, you kind of needed to do things like that to get a start. I think it's only reasonable to change things as you move forward. I think it might be a good idea to adjust your tiers, but there are some important questions that would need to be answered first. For example, how many people actually donate to the $10+ tiers and how often. It would probably require a lot of thought though.

It doesn't sound like a bad idea. Me personally, I'd rather have a second voucher each month, or maybe a story that is only released at the $15 and above level and that never makes it into an epub so that the only people that ever get to read it are the ones who are donating more. But then again maybe I'm greedy. as I've been donating at the $15 Mark right from the get-go. I did have a kind of silly idea. Once upon a Time back when you were pushing people's buttons with whizzer you made us believe that another chapter of just a guy in space had come out. Seeing's how you done your take on the NTR system do you think you could do something like your take on just a guy in space? I really loved that story and I am so sad that he stopped writing it. It's just a thought. But I bet you could do it justice.
