Anyone who collects credits is eligible to name three characters every year and one permanent structure. For every 35 credits collected you may name another character and for every 70 credits you may name another permanent structure (for example you may have 40 credits, which increases you can name four characters a year, or you may have 150, which means you can name seven characters and three permanent structures). Being eligible does not mean that you have to name any characters or any permanent structures. Your level of involvement is entirely up to you.

31 credits
               name a race in a collection of your choice, no story included

34 credits
               name a race in a collection of your choice, unposted story of at least 1000 words included

Races can be named in the Magi collection and the World Walkers collection at this time, but this may change. If you're collecting credits that you're eligible to name one race a year and for every 100 credits you collect you may name another race, up to a limit of three a year. Again, your level of involvement is entirely up to you, so you are under no obligation to name a race just because you're collecting credits.

37 credits
               name a race in a collection of your choice and a character in this race, no story included

40 credits
               name a race in a collection of your choice and a character in this race, unposted story of at least 1000 words included

43 credits
               name a setting in a collection of your choice, no story included

46 credits
               name a setting in a collection of your choice, unposted story of at least 1000 words included

Naming a setting is different to naming a permanent structure. A permanent structure is a river, a bookshop or a town, while a setting is an entire kingdom/country. Collections you can name settings in are: Aurora's World; Heliopath's World; Magi; and the World Walkers. If you're collecting credits then you're eligible to name one setting a year and for every 200 credits you collect you may name another setting, up to a limit of three a year. Again, your level of involvement is entirely up to you, so you are under no obligation to name a setting just because you're collecting credits.

49 credits
              name a setting in a collection of your choice and a character who lives here, no story included

52 credits
              name a setting in a collection of your choice and a character who lives here, unposted story of at least 1000 words included

Interesting idea. Out of curiosity though, how are you going to keep track of credits? That seems like an awful lot of work on your end. Or maybe not. I guess it depends how many visitors this blog currently has.

It'll be quite simple at the moment because I don't have a lot of visitors so I'm just going to be using a spreadsheet. If it gets too much work doing that then I'll figure something else out, but I don't need to right now.

Go for it!

>>The decision has been made, mostly because I had a really good idea last night while I was trying to sleep that this system would work really well with, that I am going to test my credit system for a month. <<

Okay, great. I look forward to playtesting this. Let me know when you work out my tally and I'll figure out what I want.

>>Any ideas for other ways of earning or spending credits? PM me at either account or send me an email <<

Will do. I have some thoughts.

>>If it works and gets more people involved in my writing then I'll implement it permanently. <<

That sounds reasonable.

I sent you a tally today, which is an insanely high number but at the same time it would be a good place to get to if I do implement this permanently. There are ideas I have that are going to be fun, so I really do hope that this is going to work out.

I'm glad you have some thoughts. :) Your feedback is always really useful.

Thank you! I picked out what I wanted: one big thing, two medium things, one small thing.

I hope it works out too. It's fun to have a sizable chunk that I can divide among the things I want to support.

*bow, flourish* Happy to be of service.

3 credits: one piece of bonus material posted; a copy of an unsponsored story emailed to you, between 6000 and 10,000 words, for your eyes only; one story of at least 1000 words written, unposted, which may be a continuation of any story (including character adoption, named character and named setting stories), a new story for any character, a past or future story for any collection, a crossover, or an AU; one month of character adoption at the lowest level (1000 – 2000 words for one character)
Add 2 credits to get another month of character adoption, up to 13 credits for six months of adoption.


Still a bit confused about my bonfire night prompt and my 3 credits prompt. so that is 6000+ words for each? Sorry to be so dense…

a copy of an unsponsored story emailed to you, between 6000 and 10,000 words, for your eyes only

This means a story that has already been written and is on the unsponsored stories list, which is why it specifically says unsponsored.

one story of at least 1000 words written, unposted, which may be a continuation of any story (including character adoption, named character and named setting stories), a new story for any character, a past or future story for any collection, a crossover, or an AU

This is a new story, so if you were buying during a time that isn't a prompts session then each of your prompts would be charged at 3 credits per 1000 words of story. During a prompts session you will get 500 words free for any prompt and then continuations are 3 credits per 1000 unposted words (or £3 if you want them posted). Your continuation is for someone else's prompt so the 500 free words have already been posted and you have bought another 1000 words, which will be sent to you in a PDF so I can put it up for sponsorship after the prompts session has finished.
