#monetizing fanfic

[fansplaining]

I just think it’s really important that we have things in our lives that we don’t do for money. And fic is my thing. And I don’t think I’m giving up millions of dollars here, right? I think that the amount of money that I’m giving up is well worth it for me, for the pleasure that I get from writing for fun and really having a lot of fun with it and getting the fan attraction that I get. I mean, I also publish commercially and it’s not nearly as much fun, and it’s not that much money that I’m making from that.

So I got this comment on a fic from 2018 last night:

Has anyone heard of this reader app? It looks like they do take in money. At least they’re asking, unlike other apps in the past, but I can’t find any indication if they pay people for submittal and I don’t know if I want to put myself further on their radar by emailing them.
