I am activating paid subscriptions

Who was it said greed is good?

I recently reached 1000 subscribers. When it happens, Substack emails you little pictures so you can gloat.

I decided some time ago when I got to 1000 I would activate paid subscriptions.

Substack has a bias in favour of payments being activated since this is how they make their money. I think they promote you more on their app and other channels, so that may help.

This is not a begging letter asking you to take out a paid subscription, just a notice it is happening.

Should you pay? That is up to you; I would be grateful to anyone who does.

However, almost all the content will continue to be free for everyone. So it is really just for those who want to pay me.

If you are struggling, then obviously you should not take out a paid subscription. I know what poor feels like, so save your shekels for necessities.

I may occasionally post something only for paid subscribers. But my intention is for it to remain free.

Our glorious future together

The author, some time in the near future shortly after the conclusion of the Water Wars.

Future content will be similar to now. Articles about things happening today, some reflective content and some short stories.

I still intend to write and publish a novel on here too in serialized form. All that is coming soon.

So that’s it. In a week or so I will activate paid subscriptions.

Pledges

If you pledged to pay me, bear it in mind. I am not sure if a pledge automatically takes your money once pledged. If so there must be some way to revoke this, but I have no idea.

If you made it this far I am grateful for any subscribers, paid or otherwise. So I appreciate you being here at all.

Long may it continue.
