I have had this conversation with other authors before (who ended up setting up Patreons in the end). There literally is no moral high ground here. None. You wouldn't be cheating people out of money (give us more credit, all of us have brains and can make our own decisions), and you shouldn't feel wrong about accepting money. No need to virtue signal. People would be giving it to you willingly for chapters + they would be supporting their favorite authors + it could also help you with having normal releases if possible + you get pocket money + your patrons will feel good about giving a small bit of help to help in a creative endeavor (win-win-win-win-win). No one will fault you if you have a few chapters behind a paywall either (look at the comments so far, everyone wants to donate to you). If they find that it isn't worth it, they cancel their support with a click. Who cares if you wrote this story on a whim (no one actually cares). The only issue would be if you don't have a set schedule or enough chapters piled up. Honestly, I was super super super excited because I thought you were going to set up a Patreon with this post and I could add you to my favorites on Patreon with other authors I support (I hate paypal). But if you don't want my money for whatever conceivable reason, then ok I guess.
Agreed, I for one would like to support this story.
Thank you for that Insight, I get it now
Also, thanks for reading!
How about opening paypal for open donation?
Mhmm, I don't know about that open donation, I'll think about it ?
when we going back 2 the main story ?
Right after the third side story, we'll get back to the main story I'm just finishing up some things irl.
Give me a chapter not Author's note
P.S : Sorry.... I am just too excited for the next chapter
I will, I will!
jajajaja
Obrigado por seu trabalho duro, espero que você goste de escrever tanto quanto eu gosto de ler sua história.
O enredo é muito viciante e estou ansioso pelos próximos capítulos.
Thank you as well for the support!
nice.
Oh, don't worry, author San! I didn't take it as offensive or anything!
But, I salute your principle of not charging for extra chapters.
But like what sir @Erlon said, maybe you could set up a PayPal so we can donate to you to show our appreciation. It won't be like you're charging us, it would be like us donating to show our love for the story and further support it. I believe nothing is wrong with that ?
I agree with this, I think it's just right to allow your readers to support the story they like.
I second this, although I wouldn't be able to make any donations at the moment, cus you know, broke. but set it up regardless! You never know author. Of course, I'll still continue supporting this story by reading it and commenting
Oh wow, thanks for the support!
Mhmm, I'll still think about it. Thank you guys again so much
@TachimeSan I'm of the preference of whatever makes you most comfortable. I know the pressure of having to put out chapters, due to the feeling of being obligated instead of story flow can be stressful.
So, go with whatever feels best for you and your stories (priority: you).
