You nod your head appreciatively as I finish my tale. I bow with a flourish and you flip a coin directly into my hand. 'Cheers, fine gentleperson,' I say, and salute you. In the background, someone strikes up a tune. 'Toss a coin to your writer --!' All members will be thanked in all major works I release <3

You invite me to do a reading at your small bookshop, which is never very busy but sees the same friendly faces every day, and where there is always a cup of tea waiting for customers. It goes well and we come to an arrangement: I will keep writing books and you will support my work. All members will be thanked in all major works I release <3

I'm stunned to be invited to your noble hall. I had no idea my writing was appreciated by the nobility! There you offer your patronage and introduce me to the other artists, musicians, and creatives you support. I delightedly accept! All members will be thanked in all major works I release <3

When I stumble into a dragon's cave, I think it's all over. To my surprise, the gigantic guardian of the hoard is an appreciator of my books. You agree to share some of your hoard with me if I will keep writing. I am all too happy to agree! All members will be thanked in all major works I release <3
