Free Options: (Literotica and Wattpad)
Literotica:
Playing it fast and loose with the term options here, but one thing you can currently do to support me is go to Chapter 6 of my story on Literotica and give it a rating - preferably a good one, but I won't go so far as to require that. If I get enough ratings, I become eligible for a prize, and if if they're good enough, I could win it.
You do not need an account - anonymous voting is allowed. But also, don't try to do multiple votes - they remove votes they deem fraudulent occasionally, and I don't know by what criteria, so it's better not to risk it. (And maybe consider voting for Chapter 7 - and everything else - while you're there. But Chapter 6 is the tipping point at the moment.)
Wattpad:
I'm now posting on Wattpad, so you can find that HERE. You can support me there by giving every chapter a Vote. This does require an account though, so it's probably not the most convenient way to support me, and I don't begrudge anyone who doesn't want to go through the effort. Account creation is the pits.
Paying Options: (None, yet, so this is just background)
Buy Me A Tea, maybe?:
So, I do have an account on BuyMeACoffee and Patreon, but I'm not really giving anything out at the moment so I'm not properly appealing for anything. (I'm planning to soon though, so watch this space.)
That being said, dropping even like a dollar on BMAC would do a lot for my self confidence, in regards to thinking people want to start paying for my writing.
Everything I earn (for now, anyway) will be reinvested in my writing career, which hinges of a plan of not only completing One More Year, but also releasing another novel for free in a similar way. So there are at least long term benefits to think about there.
But I'll probably keep doing what I'm doing anyway, at least until there are wolves at the door.
Publishing:
I will be releasing One More Year as a novel, one way or another, but we're probably looking at Mid-2022 for that, at the earliest. But when I do release that, resolving to buy it could be a way of supporting me, and you could maybe get a physical copy then, so that could be fun?
It'll also go through more final editing after I've wrapped up posting it episodically online, so it may be worth a reread at that point for a more polished product. Provided you're into rereading, of course.
I have no plans about how I'm going about publishing, so if you have any suggestions - or if you have publisher friends and want to point me in that direction, go ahead. No vanity publishers though, as I want to make money from writing, not sink money into it.
I write for the love of it, but above all else I want to be READ, and I sort of need the capitalistic drive of industry to reach as broad an audience as I'd like to.
