So listen. Or, actually, read. Folks have been a little better about feedback and I've heard from folks I'd never heard from before. Still, some folks don't know what to say and so they don't want to write in. Some folks donated a bit in lieu, which is cool. It gave me an idea, though and I'd like to get as much feedback on it as possible.
So what if, on the occasion of my completing a serial story, you were able to purchase the ability to read it all in one go versus me doling it out once a week? To be clear it would still be posted free once a week or so as I have always done, but a purchaser could obtain the completed story in advance of that. I suppose it could also be applied to short stories or a story arc that is already written like in SS.
What do you guys think?

I would consider buying the book in adavance, depending on length and description of the book

I have my own system for this, using Patreon, and people seem to like it. I think offering the service is fine. There are also some people I've met who honestly enjoy waiting for the serial release. I think offering both options would be great. I must note, however (AND I know you're not saying this) that I would not be comfortable with this happening with my own stories here, just since I'm already set up in a similar fashion. The way I read your post, however, was that it was specifically your own stories you were referring to, which would mean we're on the same page.

Dave, I like the idea. At times I want to be off the Internet, but still want to read stories. That is one reason I got my Kindle App for my computer.

I'm kinda torn, whilst I'm not against paying for a completed story and there are certain ones I would pay for in a flash, there's still that part of me that loves waiting for the latest installment of an ongoing story to be posted .... Like I say - torn 😐

I would pay for complete stories. I like having reading material available offline when connectivity is not available, I.e.subways.

I would definitely pay up front for completed stories. I devour everything you write. Honestly, it is difficult to find plot-driven gay fiction online. I whole-heartedly support anything you write. *rabid fanboy mode activated*
