patreon – Page 3

I have made some long-overdue improvements to my Patreon.

The biggest change to the Patreon is that I have increased the number of Collections. You will now be able to see all the Fermi Resolution story links on one page, the free RPG game worlds have all gotten their own collection pages, you can find the poetry and Timmy stories, that sort of thing. I’ve also cleaned up the text a bit to reflect the fact that Patreon no longer offers goals. I’m keeping the current schedule of content and actually adding something to it, but the old language probably confused people.

Next up: a new video, and the aforementioned new content. Keep your eyes open! And sign up!

Changes coming soon to the Patreon.

Nothing bad or cut back; it’s just that some things need to get revamped. I’ve never really updated the Patreon to reflect the fact that the old model of ‘get to this level, and stuff unlocks’ is dead, and that I need to come up with something more enticing. I suspect that this will at least mean more regular Bold Marauder serial updates, which is something I kind of want to do anyway. I also have to decide whether anybody really cares about the RPG materials. I hope so – I like writing them – but the goal is to grow the site, not shrink it. It’s a new year: time to make some changes.

In the meantime, feel free to check the site out, if you haven’t already.

Patreon Microfiction: There’s Worse Places To Wait Out A War.

100WS-There’s Worse Places To Wait Out A War Download

“There’s Worse Places To Wait Out A War” is straight-up science fiction, in the space operatic tradition. It’s a good question he asks at the end. Why in God’s name would his species want to be at war with them?

Patreon Microfiction: Two-Fisted Cosmic Cthulhu Tales!

I kind of want, and kind of don’t want, to write more of “Two-Fisted Cosmic Cthulhu Tales!” On the one hand, it’ll annoy some people I enjoy annoying. On the other hand, I’m getting a bit old to be a pain in the butt. And on the squirming facial tentacles: will it even sell?

Patreon Microfiction: ‘Let Us Know When You’re Done.’

100WS-Let Us Know When You’re Done Download

You know how you can walk into something, then have a lot of crap suddenly come down and suddenly people are screaming at each other, and you don’t know why? And then a big dude comes up to you, and lets you know that now is not a good time? And then politely suggests that you stand not on the order of your coming, but go at once?

Yeah, that’s humanity in ‘Let Us Know When You’re Done.’ Some doors you close again right away.

I’m thinking about revamping my Patreon.

It’s pretty static at the moment, with the trend down over the last year. Judging from the exit surveys, that’s primarily because of the economy, but it’s still a bit of a problem. The Patreon does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to generating cash to publish the books, so I still need to do something about the situation.

The trick is figuring out what. I’m highly reluctant to slap on tiers besides the $1 one, and the current situation of weekly microfiction and monthly short stories / gaming material is certainly sustainable on my end. I just don’t really know what else I can do. Thoughts welcome.
