iStories - Erin Hoffman's plan for microtransaction stories

http://homelessmoon.com/wordpress/?p=112#comment-77 This is a very thoughtful and great post. I can tell you right now that this online site's greatest contribution to the authors would be the aggregated payment systems from around the world. It takes a bunch of time, and of course it is easy to start with PayPal. But an in-site micro-currency would be really cool. Imagine if you could subscribe for a nominal amount say $1.95 a month and you get pretty much access to the whole site & stories. But there is a tip jar at the end of every story and you are free to dump in as many karma tokens as you like (~$0.10). Like a casino, once your cash is converted into a token, you will naturally be a bit more free spending. And if I did not have to pull out my wallet and type in a bunch of junk just to give someone $0.10 to $5, I would do it all weekend long. And YES I want some CYOA, I am looking to read some with my sons... I would be interested in helping fund this... -Erik
