Long Term Goals- Paid Co-Authors And Admins
Added 2020-10-07 20:43:06 +0000 UTCWhat would I do with $100 a month? I would start paying my partners. That's right. I have partners.
No, really! As of this time, I have 5 different co-authors who all provide for my works. Whether through stories, proofreading, or art, there is a group of people that support me. While they all started out as fans I shot ideas off of, their contributions to my writing were tangible enough it was only fair to properly credit them. Now that I'm starting to receive financial support for that work, it's only fair that they receive a part of it.
So in the event that we reach $100 a month, I would start using a negotiated portion of these payments to share with my co-authors, which would increase as my own pay does. While the works are still ultimately a labor of love and this cannot be considered a true wage, I do want to continue to show proper credit and appreciation on all levels for those who support my works.
Additionally, at the $100s level, I will also start scouting for paid admins on our community server.
As of this time, our community server has 238 members from all over the world. Y'all are pretty polite so far, but I do have to sleep eventually, and as this community grows, I anticipate that things can become harder to keep on track. While people have approached me pro bono to admin for the server, I also understand, as an admin myself, that a lot of work goes into managing a server. I will not accept any official admins unless I have the ability to give them tangible compensation.
At the $100s level, this is also the stage we can consider Server Boosters for the community server!
