Non-Story: Changes to Benefits
🕑 Added 2024-09-27 00:43:13 +0000 UTCI've been wanting to add more early-access chapters to the benefits and I'm finally getting the time to do it. Before, I offered 5+ chapters of both stories for five dollars. I'm increasing that to 10 chapters now, so close to double what I offered before.
The 10.00 Tier will get any early-access chapters above 10, and any chapters from new stories. I'll also add a 5.00 tier for just the new story. Stories? Several in the works. I'm hoping to start one of those in November. I'm undecided on doing it as a Writathon or not. It depends on the story.
One that would work is set in a crazy ruined city and the main goal is survival. With a solo character, those chapters go fast.
On the other hand, Scrapyard Hero will come out slower and have a lot more going into it. I'm a huge fan of Manly Wade Wellman and his Silver John stories with weird happenings, old gods, and the Lost and the Lurking around every corner. That one might just lurk here in Patronland and not head to RR until a substantial amount of chapters are done.
Gutter Magic is similar, I want to do a good job on it, and it has a more complicated plotline
So for now, 10 chapters of Butcher and TR for 5.00 a month, and at 10.00 a month more chapters of both stories and maybe a new story at some point.

Why are the new chapters locked and no notifications? Is this a shakedown for more money?
Michael Clark
It's happening already. The 5.00 level has 10 extra chapters. I'm just starting to add more to the 10.00 level and will be getting more ahead each week.

When will this come into effect?

I'm surprised you can keep pace with the stories normally. Hope the changes work out well for you

I went to read this for more info and coz I was missing my rat after 12 days, but now more confused lol
Michael Clark
Nope. Same 5.00 price but I'm guaranteeing 10 chapters of both stories instead of 5, and both stories are 10 or more chapters ahead at the moment.
Kellen Clifford
Oh I was under the impression it would be 10$ for 5 more chapters. That seemed like a devaluation of my supportive efforts, as I am a baller on a budget. I use TWI as a baseline for judging other patreons. If others try charging too much for too little I hit the route. If what you said is true I will likely stay
Michael Clark
Why? Nothing changed at the 5.00 level other than I increased the guarantee of advanced chapters from 5 to 10. I literally made it better for no increase in cost.
Kellen Clifford
Oof… I may have to go back to reading on RR
Michael Clark
The number of advanced chapters for 5.00 doubled from a guaranteed 5 to 10. For 10.00, you'll be further ahead, and get some advanced chapters of new stories. The pace of new stories for Butcher is staying consistent at 2 chapters per week.

as a reader who is caught up on butcher, the price goes from 5 to 10 and more different storys are gonna be written, how many new chapters are u planning to release for the 10bucks tier? or will i pay double to stay caught on while the number of new butcher chapters goes down?
Michael Clark
I wouldn't get rid of the 5.00 current tier. It's affordable and some people have been in that plan for two years. I'll think on separate tiers for just Butcher or the Rat. Just finished the third Milo chapter of the day and it's 2am. Time for bed.

I asked because it’s what I like from some other accounts. I only read about rats so it would be spar for me.
Heather White
Right now I’m on the $5 tier, so if you split them off I’d end up having to double up to be able to continue reading both stories. (Wait, I misunderstood, didn’t I? You’re only talking about changes for the $10 & >10 chapter tier, not changing the current $5 tier’s setup?)
Heather White
While I prefer Butcher, I enjoy the crossovers between it and Milo’s story, both narratively & lore/world building, and I do read both. I’m pretty happy with having the BoG/TR combo. I can see stories from other universes split off, though. Sadly, whether it’s 10 chapters ahead or 20 is kind of the same for me because I’m always caught up, always waiting for that next hit.

Some other authors I sub to have two tiers same price for each story separately, and then higher tier for both. I quite like this as it means I can select Butcher only
Michael Clark
From JS's question: Is that something people would prefer? Separating stories and making each story 5.00 for 10+ to 20 chapters?
J S
Any chance of rat story only for five bucks?
RedInkQuill
Huh. Good luck
