Title: Single issues for sale?
Post by: Daphne on February 01, 2023, 08:49:58 am
One constant request we get is the ability to buy single issues. We're considering implementing this. If we did, it would be for issues at least a certain number of months old (let's say, after 18 months). The collections of the monthly/weekly titles would be for sale as well, under the same time period.

If we did this, would that change how you subscribe? No judgment, be totally honest!

And comments below.

Not that this would really effect my decision either way (I'll be keeping my subscription for as long as this site exists), but if this happened would subscribers still have the ability to download issues?

Absolutely, yes. There would be no (negative) changes to how subscriptions work.

I think compiling the issues to create a single story to download would be something I would like and a good format for individual purchases.
You could then offer subscribers the option to be monthly members - which would include the compiled story - or the option to buy the compiled stories separately.
Like 'lancehunter' it would not change my personal subscription. I enjoy visiting the site.

It means I would probably let my subscription lapse and focus on the titles that aren't focused on the poly/cheating/cuck stuff.

I'd do the math I suppose. With SJI flying past my limit on the BE and more and more titles going the By the Book/Found Objects/Persuader (rival controllers introduced just to poach the same characters that were previously enslaved) there's more skips recently. Almost certainly going to be economical for me to keep my subscription though.

I continue to subscribe because at least a couple of times a month, I am pleasantly surprised by an issue. Buying one issue would not work for me, because I never suspect where it’s going to come from. 

My poll answer is wrong, and there’s no way I can see to change it. Fat fingers ftw.

I was going to say that I'd keep my subscription going as I find the site a bit like getting the sampler menu at a good restaurant: some things I like more than others but nothing I really don't like and if I'm not overstruck on one offering there will be another more to my taste soon - and sometimes I discover I quite like something I would have never have tried otherwise.
But then it looks like Daphne's been and gone and done it anyway  ::)
