So ... someone brought up an idea that I initially shot down, but I am also curious to see if this is something anyone might be interested in doing instead of Tokens/Pay Per Story.
I do NOT know the price of this plan yet, but this plan is a READ ONLINE ONLY option which will allow you to read any/all stories online for $X/month. NO DOWNLOAD OPTIONS. This plan will also include the CUSTOM stories. (PS: I might make those available for DL soon with the default settings.)
So, you just pay $x/month and read as much as you want online, and if you want to DL the story, you can pay extra. I might carve off 1 or 2 Tokens per DL for this plan if you're a member of it. Just know that I don't always release new stories every ~4 weeks. I try to, but don't always. That's why I always preferred to charge people PER STORY as opposed to PER MONTH.
Also, if you already have a ton of Tokens (like I know some of you do), and you prefer this option, I can use your current Tokens to pay for this plan. And if you have already purchased stories, they will still be listed as "Available For Download" on your list.
If people want/like this, I will have to figure out better ways to lock up my stories to keep them from being downloaded. It's not possible to stop everyone, which is why as of right now I'm not a huge fan of this idea.
But if it will get me more fans ... I may consider it.
So what do you think? How do you feel?
