Keeping authors well fed and happy is a worthy goal.
Complaining about how much they eat is kind of tacky.
I made a donation at the first chapter of both books. I did not actually read them until after the authors declared a draft. I just don't like reading serials.
But I did enjoy both books, and look forward to viewing the final editions. When you come right down to it I made the donations for the authors, not the books.
Considering the years of pleasure their works have given me I would have been willing to make a contribution without the books. I wouldn't want them put in a situation where they were forced to stop writing.
