I've published a science fiction flash fiction story at https://jxself.org
/git/?p=sierraone.git. It is, of course, freely licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later. GitWeb

This sets up some characters and gives them some missions. I'd like it to become a How To
series so that the story continues and things grow and evolve.

I'm using the series as my first attempt at crowdfunding. I have set up an account on
Liberapay: https://liberapay.com/jxself/donate where you can donate to fund new
stories. RSS Feed

Keeping with the flash fiction format, the series would consist of long-form storytelling About Me
broken up into snackable pieces. New stories would be added to that git repository for
everyone to read. Contact Me
The amount of money raised in a month would determine how many stories get
GPL enforced
published that month, up to a maximum of 4 stories in a single month and essentially
amounting to weekly publication.
If you appreciate any of the things I
Goal Stories am doing you can make a donation.

$60 1 story

$120 2 stories

$180 3 stories

$240 4 stories

Unused funds will roll over:

• If I raise less than the minimum in a month the funds will roll over until that
level is reached and then a new story would be published.
• If there's enough to cover one level but not enough to reach the next level,
then I'll publish the number of stories based on whatever was actually
reached that month and the excess will roll over into the next month and
count toward the goal for that month.
• While I'm capping it out a 4 stories a month, if the funds in a month exceeds
4 stories then the excess will also roll over.

In this way unused funds are never lost. You can see the funds currently being
received on the page at Liberapay, and also in the counter at the bottom of this page.
That counter is manually updated, though, and so may be delayed but the Liberapay
page is live.

Because I believe in free culture, the stories would continue to be licensed under
GPL-3.0-or-later. After all: Since it's being funded by the public shouldn't it belong to
the public? This is something I think other crowdfunding efforts seem to miss.

Will the people on Sierra One be able to accomplish their mission? And, what will
happen to Tomás and B? I hope you found it intriguing enough to fund future stories
and see where this goes.

Current amount raised for this month: $0.
Amount to reach next level: $60.
(This is manually updated and may be delayed.)
You can donate at https://liberapay.com/jxself/donate to increase this amount.
