I do see you.. right in front of me.
Where? Not here. Oh, there...
Too bad.
The end of the line is nowhere near.
Members are requested to offer their ideas for ways in which Stories Space might induce income streams for the site. No idea is too silly so please share any and all thoughts you may have. As well, offer your pros and cons about ideas others have suggested.
My own thoughts:
Place a "Donate" button on the cover page. It may well not get much, but some is better than none.
SS could charge an annual membership as the mother site does.
Seek financial sponsorship from publishers. Give rights to advertise their services.
SS could issue a challenge to members to provide a theme-based poem or story, which would be compiled and published for sale. Proceeds to go entirely to SS.
Any other ideas or comments?
She doesn't sweat much for a dragon rider.
From the end of the line I can see
Anna and rune and E in front of me
Eating crow and jello salad
While singing about me in a ballad.
Now that my shoulder has been repaired, I am back to playing golf more.
My other hobbies are making jewelry, stained glass, and antique shopping.
I also have a full shop in my garage and woodwork, less so now than before.
What are yours?
slips on a banana peel before he gets there...
That would put you between her and me...
This isn't about being a badge whore or a Quid Pro Quo reward system. It's about trying to generate enthusiasm so other members who may not be inclined to write as much will participate more. There is a cluster of us who write fairly constantly. Me, not as much as I should. It's the same cast of characters.
So far all I've heard is "writing is its own reward" and "badges." Does anybody have any other ideas? Dinner at Maggie's? Tickets to one of Larry's dance extravaganzas? Chaffing wheat with Carl? A boat ride with Gillian?
Question... Can we post more than once in a Challenge?
Also, since there is no actual winner of a Challenge, how about a "Good Sport" badge for members who make an effort to support SS in generating enthusiasm, ie. Challenges...
Maybe a pirate with a sword and a patch
Would find the words you speak a match
OMG.. IMHO is how to speak today
LMAO if you think the end of the line is where you will stay

In the UK do they even speak English?
At the end of the line? Oh, you wish...
No means no
Or don't you know
If no means yes
Oh, what a mess
Maybe I'll just go with the flow
And stroll to the end, nice and slow
