One thing Scalzi doesn't mention is that even if you have 1,000 true fans willing to shell out $100 each, you still have to create $100 worth of something for them to shell out for, every single year. (And if it's a rehash of stuff then they're unlikely to be interested, although how many versions of bladerunner are there now?) (I think I may have about four true fans, but that might be only cus I produce so little through the year that I'm cheap to be a fan of :) - pj I keep meaning to reply to this – but the John Scalzi link means my thoughts on the matter are already dealt with.
