[Robert Leslie Newman]

Brad, It is a creative idea. Worth a shot. (Just not for me; not to wright,
nor to participate in.)\

Chris and Robert,

I was thinking it might lend itself to a more known author, but with the
many independent artists and authors out there now, they stand a better
chance than years ago. If King did it 20-years ago, he was probably ahead of
his time.  From a marketing standpoint, it is very much in vogue to develop
a list and pitch subscriptions or products to it along with free valuable
content. On-line subscriptions both paid and free are pretty common these
days.
 
Just ran across the idea while pondering things: D.

It's an interesting idea, Brad. As Robert indicated, I think Stephen King
tried a different version of this idea about 20 years ago. I've killed a lot

fo brain cells since then, but I think he posted a chapter online, and asked

people to send him a buck (it was before the days of paypal). If 50% of the
people who read it sent him a buck, he'd post the next chapter--something
like that. And from what I remember, it fizzled out. As an unknown, the
hardest part would be getting subscribers. James Patterson (or one of the
many grad students he pays minimum wage to write under his name) could pull
it off easily. Me--I'm not so sure.
