Would you pay to read your favorite storyhour?

[RangerWickett]

Imagine your favorite storyhour writer decided to hire artists to illustrate his storyhour, and promised weekly updates at least 40 weeks a year. Would you be willing to pay $10 every six months to ensure that writer could consistently provide you with a story you'd enjoy? Assuming each week's post is about the equivalent of ten pages, that's like two novels a year. Would that interest you?

Because I've got some artist friends, and a few spare bucks, and I'm really looking forward to another update in Piratecat's storyhour. I'm wondering if a few greenbacks would help him 'rearrange his schedule.'

In theory, perhaps. In reality though, most projects like this rarely hit their estimated update target, leaving a sour taste in the mouths of the paying customers.

Write the story first, then release it little by little over the next year. *shrug*

if it were Sepulchrave's story hour? hell yes

 

[Lazybones]

Be careful. Most of these stories are based on copyrighted/trademarked materials (D&D, Forgotten Realms, etc.). As soon as you start making money off them, expect a call from WotC's lawyers.

If I'm right, your fishing for ideas similar to (though not the same as) Wulf's idea to create collections, except on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. As I see it, you'd need to tap a half dozen writers at a time, ask for a certain # of pages for each issue, etc.

No. I wouldn't pay for a Story Hour consistent updates or not.

 

[The Forsaken One]

For Sepps story hour, Hell yeah. To see it in print, Hell yeah!!

 

[Kalanyr]

Yeah, I'd get lynched.

Nah we got over wanting to Lynch you at least a month before you posted the latest update .................


.................... I think the consensus immediately before the post was tarring and feathering, followed by beheading, followed by drawing and quartering.

But that said yeah I'd pay for Blackdirges or Sepulchraves, I've never read any of the others.
