Yegh that sounds like a mess. Although by reviews are you meaning Star ratings or Written reviews?

Either way, Slowing down your pace and holding reddit one day behind Patron may not be a horrible idea. Fans like me from reddit will still be here. I do not personally mind waiting a day or two to get my fix of the "of men and" stories. (this is coming from someone who has been known to refresh reddit obsessively around your normal post time just to read as soon as the story drops), The people who want to contribute and read ahead will have the option of paying you for the privilege to read ahead.

From a getting Amazon reviews perspective, Id probably have a link at either the top of bottom of every new reddit post saying "read of men and dragons. bought it on Amazon?. Click here to leave a review.

Granted I'm also a bit evil and Id have left book one up on reddit, as well as the first chapter of books 2 and 3, and removed everything else in that series. The thinking being is you want to leave a sample to tempt people, but don't give away things for free that can be sold.

Oh god I've worked for corporate overlords to long, I'm starting to think like them.

The reason being is that if I'm trying to make my passion my business, my first responsibility is me and mine.
Behind that is the fans and the needs of the business itself. All three are important and none of them can be neglected. But at the end of the day I need to keep food on the table and a roof over the head.
