    Right now this is what you can do with your cookies:

    • Use them to vote for a specific bonus story: 1 cookie = 1 vote.
    • Ask a character any question, and they will answer it, for 15 cookies.
    • Request your own bonus story for 50 cookies, jumping the queue of in-the-works bonus stories as well as forgoing the voting process.
    • Save them up and have a cameo appearance / create a minor character for 70 cookies.
    • Request your own short story (length = 2+ chapters) for 85 cookies.

    I just today added another possibility:
    • Get a text link on the sidebar of the website to your personal website for 14 days with 30 cookies
    • If you have 100+ cookies you can get an image ad on the sidebar. (See here and here for more info)
    (advertising policy applies - basically no porn, racist stuff, etc).

    Do you have any other ideas of things you'd like to see?

    That's kind of a cool idea., the text ad for cookies!

    No more ideas, sadly.

    Did you read @cajeck's post on points? http://eighthcirclestudios.com/ns/?p=143 I thought it was interesting.

    I think I, too, need more things for people to earn.

    Also loosely considering doing a November fundraiser.

    The fans on facebook thing was interesting, don't think it'd work for me.

    I count that as a point/stamp per fan. But I need to start USING my facebook page for something.

    Well yeah, I give people 1 cookie if they join facebook, so I guess I do it that way too. But I haven't done the "every 10 fans = bonus story" thing.

    I'm so swamped in bonus stories, everyone could fall silent for a year & I'd still be writing bonus stories. Well, 10 weeks, last count.

    Not that I want people to fall silent!

    Just that I need to rethink my system
