@mrbrobot answered: I wish i could. Im gonna see if i can, but no promises. Im super pooooor and children and hella expensive bro :/ i understand, bro. the problem is that everyone i know is broke as hell and can't even consider $3 or whatever to give to someone for a pdf of a few short stories. fanfic is free and easy to find, and my entire readerbase is fandom. and i can't market my fiction under my real name, my friends won't even read it, and there's no chance of me being published. i don't have time to write a novel. patreon isn't lucrative to me. i'm unestablished. so i'm trying to figure out if it's even worth the effort to post some stories on patreon and hope someone pledges. like, hypothetically, if 10 ppl pledge $3 a month, that's $30~ for me (minus 5%). that's worth my time. for a few people, i might as well keep writing fic and not worry so much about quality as fun, yknow? i appreciate it, though. if i don't go through with patreon, maybe i'll make some of my stories available for friends to read.
