My imagination conjures too much weirdness to leave it unshared with the world.

Milestone Goals
Undying Gratitude
Okay, okay. You already have my undying gratitude. But now you have it with a colossal dose of shock and awe.
Ad-Free Site
Once I reach $75 per story/chapter/recording, I'll strip out all of the ads from the Fiction Improbable site.
New Recording Equipment
Right now I have a kludgy and very basic audio recording setup. It leaves me with a lot of editing and re-recording of audio to do whenever I try to produce an audio book. An investment in new equipment will make the process a lot less painful and time-consuming, so it will happen a lot more often! Once I hit this level of funding, I should be able to periodically add new equipment to my setup.
Professional Assistance
At this pledge level, I would be secure in looking for some professional assistance with my writing. This could specifically include things like finally being able to hire a professional editor to go over my work, professional artists to create covers, logos, maps and illustrations, and various other services that will be pretty awesome.
Worldbuilders
I love the work that Pat Rothfuss and co. do with their Worldbuilders organization to benefit Heifer International, and at this milestone level, I would be able to safely donate 10% of all Patreon patronage to their cause. (Or you can give directly to them if you like, instead of running it through Patreon and myself.)
Self-Sustaining Art
At this level of funding, and assuming I produce 1-2 (call it 1.5) stories, chapters and/or audio books a week, I believe I could safely say I could live on my writing alone. At this point I'd be able to devote a much larger percentage of my time to my writing and recording efforts.
About
I write science fiction, fantasy, horror and steampunky stuff. I also write science and tech bloggy type stuff. Once in a rare while, I record audio versions of stories. You can find me at Fiction Improbable, GeeksLife.com, TWIS.org, and at Twitch.tv/GordMcLeod.
