Hello everyone! How's it going? 
I’ve considered it quite a bit, but I’ve been unsure about the idea. Not because I don’t have a huge following, I would not expect to get a lot! I’m more than fine with just making some loose change. X3
The issue for me is the fact I have no idea what to give as an incentive. I’m a writer. Crowd-funding is a great thing, but I believe in giving back. I know I’d create the content, but I’d want to give something more. Aside from writing a one-shot request, it’d be a little tough.
So that’s more or less what I need some help with. If you guys have some suggestions for incentives, feel free to let me know!
Thank you for your continued support! :P

I'm afraid I don't understand what the issue is. Care to elaborate a little?
3680273 Oh, I'm sorry if you misunderstood! ^^;
I'm not sure what to give in terms of rewards. Like, I feel as a writer, I don't have tons of options. Artists give drawings, video makers can make special videos, maybe someone makes shirts, ect. Aside from sneak previews of upcoming fanfics or even one-shot MLP fanfic requests, I really am not sure what I could give. I feel like what I can offer isn't enough to give back.
For mine I mostly just made it known that giving me money motivates me to write more and let people decide whether that was a good thing.
3680352 Ah, I see! That could work! I guess the only concern I would have with that is to make sure that I'm not deceiving anyone with what I can offer. XP Otherwise, that does sound doable!
I made pretty much no commitments in mine other than promising to put their name somewhere on a thank you list and free copies of anything else I publish for the really big contributers. It seems to have worked.
I mean, I only have the one backer, but he pledged 25 dollars a chapter, so there's that.

Not to continue asking questions, but why do you want to give rewards?
3680371 That's interesting! Sounds like a good way to do it for sure.
3680375 It's okay! I encourage this sort of thing. X3 I want to give rewards because I do want to give back to people who help me. In a way I wouldn't feel right about being unable to at least give a little something. XP
I know that just seeing more stuff, even they are just one shots, would be enough for someone like me. Do you already have a patron? If so, how may I find it?
3681120 I'm in the process of putting it together, actually. XP But I'll post about it once I have it set up!
And thank you for the encouraging words! :) That's definitely an understandable incentive.
Well I'd love feedback / publicity / editing on my story, and I may be willing to pay for that. :) Just a thought. I'm sure others would like something similar too...
