I don't mind you using this platform to advertise your patreon. I have a problem that it's all you use it for. Most people will still write stories for the site while advertising their patreons or other financial outlets. They might release a chapter a week after they write it here or write exclusive stories and other exclusive content for their patreon. That's fine. It's a give and take. But if you only advertise, then you're only taking. I like your stories, but I don't agree with the ethics of how you advertise them. If this website turns from a place where people post stories to a bunch of stories that are never finished here (aka a teaser), then this website will be ruined. Even if you're the only one now, that could always change and I don't think the precedent you're setting is particularly great. Your stories are great and I'm glad you have people who support your patreon, but I really do think you should rethink your strategy for advertising, if only for an ethical standpoint, even if you are in financial trouble. If you do that, I'd feel better about supporting you, because everytime you upload now, I just kind of sigh in dissapointment.

I will think about it. I'm not close minded. There no other places to advertise I am afraid. I have a few short stories that I could publish here.

The story will probably be good, but what's the point? You're not going to finish it anyway. Will you ever write another story in full for this site? It just seems like you're just using this website to advertise your patreon. If that's all you're going to use the website for now, that's kind of scummy. Even if you contributed stories in the past.

I understand the ethics behind your comment, however, we all do what we need to do in order to survive and we all use the tools at our disposition to make the best of the situations we live in. In my case, I'm having financial troubles, and yes I am using this website as a teaser/advertisement. What you see as something potentially wrong, I see something that helps me with the struggles of life. My patreon is 5$ a month for a lot of content, I invite you to switch over if you like my stories. I ams orry if the way I use this site offends you.
