I’m now on Patreon

Jul 31, 2021

I’ve long been trying to find ways to simplify my online content and also offer more to people. I’ve tried a few different things, but it’s all a bit disparate. I tried building up Ko-fi as I liked that platform, but while it’s good, they’re still not offering an app, which is weird in this day and age. But it was kinda okay and I had Curious Fictions where I could post stories for a small fee and things were ticking on. Then we got the notification last week that Curious Fictions is shutting down. A damn shame, it was a cool idea and a slick site. But it’s pushed me to act. I’ve finally bitten the bullet and centralised everything with a Patreon page. This will replace my Curious Fictions and my Ko-fi pages. (I’ll still keep the Ko-fi, as it’s useful as a kind of tip jar, but I imagine it’ll go a little dormant now.)

My Patreon has four tiers of membership, from a simple $2/month set and forget tip to a $20/month Elder God tier where you get pre-publication copies of all new work, Q&A opportunities and even a 30 minute zoom with me once a month if you want it. Have a look here to see all the options.

Currently there’s a bunch of stories up there for everyone at the Devourer Tier and above. I’ll be updating it a lot more as time goes on. Lots more stories to come, plus all kinds of other content including behind the scenes stuff, excerpts of works in progress, early release news of books, subscriber exclusive articles, writing advice articles, and more. Maybe even some kung fu/martial arts related stuff if people are interested in that. I’ll also, as I get more settled with it, post some stories exclusively for Patrons, that won’t be published anywhere else. They may find their way into future collections, but they’ll be Patreon-exclusive until then. I may also serialise some stuff there too… I have a few ideas. Please let me know what you think would be cool. If you were a Patron, what would you like to see.

Something like Patreon really does make a huge difference in this current climate, I hope you’ll have a look. https://www.patreon.com/AlanBaxter If you do, I can’t thank you enough. I really appreciate and I promise you’ll get a lot out of it. I have such sights to show you…
