Anyone currently VIP will read until the end of the year--that was the original commitment when I first made the announcement in August, and I'm sticking to it. After that, we're going subscription only. The only exceptions for the remainder of the Part Three chapters in 2010 will be the small handful who made large donations already.
Please see above--I literally cannot do this "for free" anymore. I can't afford to. If I don't pull in more income every month, I won't be able to pay my internet bill, and therefore seriously can't post anything at all. If readers don't want to pay for chapters, that's fine--I'm not forcing anyone. If no one buys, then I'll retire from serialing and spend more time on other paying work, and that's okay with me. If my work isn't worth paying for in the opinion of readers, then they are quite within their rights to go on their merry way. What's not okay with me is being expected to do my job, aka writing, for free when I'm already unable to afford basic necessities for myself and my family.
