thoughtfulI am writing a lot of stories set in the history of the Price-Healy family, slowly pushing my way toward the modern day. There are also stories set in the present day, such as the Antimony-centric novella, "Bad Dream Girl," which is going to appear in the anthology Glitter and Mayhem. A lot of these get given away for free on my website, in a variety of formats, with covers and everything. I like keeping the canon centralized.
That said, unless an anthology is commissioning something, it can be hard to carve out the time for what is essentially unpaid work. I need to prioritize my time according to what I'm getting paid for (which is why, for example, the rate of "Velveteen vs." stories went up so sharply when I got a print contract). So...
How would people feel if I opened a "tip jar," with the understanding that for every X amount of dollars, I would add a story in one of my universes to the master list of Paid For Things? Those stories would still have to fit around everything else, but it would make them easier to schedule, and would also make my lights easier to keep on. The stories themselves would remain free on my website, so if you didn't want to donate, you could just stand back and wait for nature to take its course.
Thoughts?

I'd also be willing to tip for a page with an ordered list of links to the Sparrow Hill road stories (apologies if this exists and I just missed it)

I've contacted the administrator at TEoP and asked them to take down those stories; they were restored by a server backup. I would REALLY appreciate it if you would delete any local copies you may have saved. Those are no longer canonical, and I'm not comfortable with the fact that they got re-posted and were found.

Sorry to have caused you discomfort.
