Fundraising Post, Day 9 of 15

Posted on by Sarah A. Hoyt

POST OF THE DAY BENEATH THIS ONE.

So, it is the 9th day of fundraising. It’s going… slowly. But not stopped.

I’m doing chapter updates to the two novels in Chapter House after this. Today has been slow due to health follies. I did warn it would be slow to the end of the month because it’s “fund with doctors” TM.
It will get done.

I continue to deal with fundraising by posting pretty pictures, which, yes, are free for the taking. (They’re midjourney with light mods. Not as much as I’d do for a cover.)

I’m fundraising because I treat this blog like a job and an obligation, and should be adequately compensated.

Also for me to be able to subcontract some work and have time to sleep now and then:

The first is Give Send Go. They forbid the use of incentives to donors. So if you give via GSG you’re doing it for the satisfaction of helping According to Hoyt stay up and for me to be compensated for my work. Yes, that total is scary but I never intended for it to be carried by GSG alone. That’s the funding goal for all methods, for the year. A keeping-track-of goal, you might say. To donate to Give Send Go: Link Here.

But if you want to get something for your donation, and particularly if you want to incentivize (totally a word) my fiction writing: I’ve started a substack called Chapter House, in which I’m serializing two novels, one fantasy and one Space Opera, at two chapters a week. (The idea is for Witch’s Daughter to get two new chapters on Wednesday, and Winter Prince two on Friday. because July is h*ll this year (Fun with DOCTORS! People and cat doctors. Yeah) these might slip for the next two/three weeks. After that they won’t.
Go to Chapter House, read the free portion of the books, and consider subscribing to receive the updates. You get a chance to read the novels as they unroll and perhaps to talk/argue about them. You’ll also get them at the end in ebook format. (I’ll try to have a free story once a month or so, for the free subscribers, but no promises) Anyway, to subscribe to Chapter House, the link is: Here.

And for those of you who have Patreon and just want to donate in a system you already have, I have one of those, and I will be posting life events, and excised scenes, and art, and … well, be warned, likely cat stuff. Because I’m owned by cats. Anyway, to donate on Patreon, please: Go here.

Finally, if you must send things by snailmail, yes, we accept checks, cash, and gold bars. Just package those really well.

  3. One curiosity is, how close did any of them come to the original prompt?

    My limited experiments with a local Stable Diffusion copy were odd, to say the least.

  7. Man, Raconteur Press’s marketing game is lit, what with the “Moggies in Space” theme you’ve got going here (they are still accepting stories for that antho).
