After long delays and many, many trials, I can finally say that I am launching my website!
This website will always have more content than other platforms. In fact, any chapter that is started on other platforms will be fully available on the website. In addition, the website will have a subscription that allows you access to pages as I finish them, and additional exclusive artwork, for a low price of £5. (This function will require some data-gathering, but on my end that’s essentially your e-mail, and then Stripe gets everything else because… payment systems.)
I know people tire of subscription services nowadays, but it’s not like you have to subscribe, and in exchange I am making it easy for you to consume without a lick of payment, in advertisement or otherwise. If you believe in me, the project, and my investment, then I ask you kindly to support me, and make it more likely that my endeavors end in success, and that you may see the end of it.
In fact, as a show of goodwill, I will give away three printed copies of the first chapter, to be shipped anywhere in the world where packages can arrive, with a personal thank you, to the first three people who subscribe. (I will contact you via e-mail, you are free to refuse this. If that happens, I will simply contact the next person in line.)
Yes, I do have a limited run of the printed chapter. It’s not really an official thing, but they look gorgeous, I promise!
Truly, I believe that advertisement is toxic. Yes, it’s nice to get some degree of payment just from traffic, but it detracts from the user experience, and makes me beholden to masters that I don’t choose. I morally disagree with that compromise.
You should be able to choose who you support and who you do not, and companies that demand your attention and precious time are stealing from you something that doesn’t belong to them.
Just one payment of £5 is probably going to be more than I would have ever gotten from your views on ad revenue.
Therefore, I won’t steal your time.
Instead, I kindly ask that you donate in the name of free and independent art, if you can afford it.
Thank you.
