Hello!<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s time for me to mix things up a bit. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With that said, I’m going to try Patreon. \u00a0Whoa, whoa, before you panic, I’ll address the important thing first: \u00a0I’ll still release my stories for free.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find me here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/markgraham<\/a><\/p>\n

What I <\/span>am<\/i><\/b> going to do is release on Patreon first and two or so weeks later, release out on my personal site as well as the other places I post. \u00a0So Patreon users will get first view and some users can even view drafts as I write them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Higher levels will be able to share their thoughts on what they’d like to see in a story as they read the drafts or suggest the next story I write or even enter to win a custom short story.<\/span><\/p>\n

The levels I plan to use are shown at the end of this post and I’d welcome feedback on it since this is all new to me. \u00a0I may have to change things as I figure it out but hopefully nothing too drastic.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope the balance between early access and releasing for free for everyone is fair and I appreciate your support. \u00a0Even if you’re not interested in Patreon or early access to stories, the donation keeps me working on non-commissioned stories and is just a pretty cool thing to help with.\u00a0 I know it may be easy to just wait for the free release but I’d ask that you consider supporting artists that create things you enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/span><\/p>\n
