That would be amazing if Alexandra could do it. I have a kindle and I would definitely pay for Tales of MU. Most books on kindle are around $7 except really old ones which tend to be cheaper and really new ones which can be more expensive.

I had wandered away for awhile but now am back and have a lot to catch up on. I was wondering if you have an "electronic book" version that people can download for a fee? Call it a reward for donation if you like. It really wouldn't have to be something other than a download of the HTML pages for most readers - although best if it is just the story and comments (i like reading the comments, tho you could leave that out or in, depending on which was easier), without the site overhead. Although, heck, leave some of the ads in too - i don't mind. I just need a version i can carry in my purse to read, and i don't own a netbook! But it would be well worth, say, $2 and $5 donation for chunks of the story it would take awhile to read. (Go with $2 for first part of story, $3 for next few chunks, to get people hooked. Let the chunks get slightly larger as the price goes up...) Call it $15 for book-size chunks? That might well be a profit center too, if you could get it registered in places that make available less-expensive content for Nooks and other book readers. I bet you could even get listed in Amazon for sale. Didn't Lulu offer that service? Electronic books are the way of the future, and you don't even have to remember to mail 'em... And it is a great way to start getting people hooked. A good way to get caught up in the story. Once you're hooked, you want to come to the web site to get the latest fix...

Oh, duh, I see it. It’s the “here” link up top, which goes to http://www.alexandraerin.com/?page_id=166

Thanks!

Is there a Donate button around here somewhere? I'm not seeing it. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 if that makes a difference.

The PO box could work. Personally, I had a bad experience with paypal so I'd prefer to send a MO or cash. Buuuut that inevitably up to you.

Yeah, PayPal won't do recurring payments without an account. I have a post office box that you could send payments to, but I don't know how practical that would be. I appreciate the thought.

I was trying to subscribe but paypal’s attempting to force an account – I don’t want one! After filling in the first paypal page I get a second account creation one that I can’t bypass to just set up a payment. Really enjoying the writing, you’ve a great talent, lost many hours getting here already Any way of getting something to you without setting up a paypal account would be useful – I am looking to pay $10/month. Will be promulgating amongst the UK Goth community as well.
