At $5 a month, you get access to FRAGMENTS. Often when I'm writing I will produce things that are of some quality but don't really have anywhere to go. Character sketches, scenes from stories I'm never going to write, scenes that I may at some point decide I need to write a story around. Depending on how things go, this is either early access to later masterworks, or things I will later vehemently deny having written. Either way we all win!

At $10/month and higher, you get THE MYSTERY BAG. This will be a link to a public Dropbox folder. I will put things in it. They may be text, or images, or maybe music I’m listening to, or CAD files of dream cities, or fan art (if anyone ever makes any), or whatever. I honestly don’t know where this one’s going, it just strikes me as a fun possibility. I’ll try to make it worth your while, and I’m willing to take suggestions. You also get access to INTERROGATION, EARLY ACCESS and BACKCHANNEL. 

At $25/month, it's Postcards from The Zone. I will find a postcard, wherever I am, and write a short missive from a character who found the postcard, inspired by whatever image is on it. I will then mail you the postcard. Imagine the look on the face of your significant other, parent, or flatmate when you start getting postcards from Strange Lands saying things like "The Creatures here are quite vicious, and I fear Higgs may have been lost in the mire." Your reputation for mystery will increase at least tenfold, and you may find Enigmatic Figures nodding to you on the streets of your very city. Also, I have been told that my handwriting is quite nice.

Of course, at this level you also have access to everything below this level, including MYSTERY BAG, EARLY ACCESS, INTERROGATION, and BACKCHANNEL.

At $100/month you can get, should you wish, an hour-long face-to-face video and (assuming my mic is working) audio chat with me (or someone claiming to be me). We can talk about writing, or what we’re reading, or those strange shapes you’ve been seeing out of the corner of your eye, or puppies, or whatever. Caveat: I have more opinions about the strange shapes at the edges of your perception than I do about puppies.

This is limited to 4 backers per month, because, really, I can only be so interesting for so long. However, you also get access to all lower level awards.

And because the cake of late capitalism is best served with a frosting of ludicrousness, I offer the following: If anyone is so psychotically rich and indulgent to invest $1000/ month on me, it’s TYPEWRITER ROULETTE!

I lock myself in a room with a typewriter for 24 hours. I give the backer the results. Like the Martian said, "no sponsors, no laws, and no guarantees, kids, these are the rules." I have no idea what will happen. No, I do not yet own a (working) typewriter. If you give me $1000 I'll go buy a damn typewriter. I will do this once per backer, not monthly. There are limits. AND TOGETHER WE WILL FIND THEM AND DESTROY THEM.
