Four Chapters Pending.
With Twig concluding soon, I’m putting a hold on bonus chapters. I understand if that means I’ll get less in the way of financial support from readers, but I want to pace things out and not rush to include content just because, to meet the requirements.
Four bonus chapters and/or epilogue chapters will be scheduled for the future, with $1500 (I’m rounding up from old amount) to carry forward to a future work.
Paypal:
Patreon (Subscription):
Two updates per month indicates that A) Wildbow will hopefully have something approaching a very well deserved real life with some degree of rest and also potentially indicates B) Wildbow’s increasing confidence in his ability to earn an income, which is wonderful news for all of us who love his serials and hope they continue for a long time. Congrats on both accounts!
I am not 100% sure about this, but the chapters that this donation page refers to are bonus updates scheduled for March, both at a Thursday. Normal updates are regularly published on Tuesdays and Saturdays and are independent on the thresholds mentioned here.
I would like to see the Bonus Chapter Status and/or Schedule in the sidebar of the page. Right now I have to come to the donation page to see the status.
It is on the side of the page. See the calendar.
D’oh – I didn’t realize that it was a future schedule, rather than a TOC.
How is it going to be April’s schedule? The sidebar still only shows March.
Just saw it was updated. Thank you, Wildbow.
This again but January —> February.
Yeah, don’t usually update the schedule until the last of the funds from Patreon roll in.
This can be annoying for me at least — like tonight I want to see if I should stay up late for the donation chapter, I feel like there will be one, but I don’t know!
I hear you, parra. But sometimes I just don’t know myself.
Hey Wildbow,
I’ve been meaning to mention this for a while, but your Patreon page gives a slightly weird impression due to the default user photo/icon – as if the page was incompletely setup, or not serious, or something.
I understand and respect your wish not to use your real photo, but then please consider at least using something like the wildboar pic you use in the comments on your serials.
Hi Wildbow,
First time commenting. I just finished Worm and it was amazing (for lack of better words). Also, to back my gratitude, I donated some money via paypal. The donation in no way is representative if how much I enjoyed myself. Please expect my future support in all your endeavors (including Twig).
Best,
Manuel
Thank you, Manuel. Glad you found your way to my other works.
Hey Wildbow,
I just noticed that the donate button on this page is not identical with the one in the right-hand bar: The one on this page leads to a Paypal page that has “Pact Web Serial” as its purpose; whereas the one in the right-hand bar says “Twig Web Serial”. Also, only the button in the right-hand bar includes a link at the bottom called “Return to donations coordinator” which links back from paypal to your website.
I was wondering why the heck I had so many generous Pact readers. Thanks, mond.
No problem. Incidentally, the same problem appears with Worm as well! That is, the link at https://parahumans.wordpress.com/support/ also says “Pact Web Serial”, whereas the link in the corresponding sidebar leads to a PayPal page with “Worm Web Serial”. (And in this case, neither donation link includes a link back from PayPal to your website.)

Also, now that you’ve tried to fix it, the donation button on this site (https://twigserial.wordpress.com/support) no longer works for me. When I click it, I get the following error message:
If the link still works for you but not for me, maybe try to logout in Paypal and try if it still works?
