I haven't read any serialized novels with the exception of the ones Baen puts out. Not that I'd be unwilling to read any others, I just haven't yet.
If I'm going to receive a completed copy of the book, that's not exactly a donation, is it? That said, I would be willing to donate, and I would be willing to donate more for an autographed hard copy if that's a possibility. I don't care what format of hard copy.
Regular updates would be nice, but with some flexibility built in. "First week of the month" as opposed to "first of the month", for instance. Life interferes, cats get sick, authors have cons, all sorts of things can mess up scheduling. I'd personally rather wait a couple more days for something you'd be willing to have someone else see, instead of on-time but something you wouldn't want your reflection to see.
How much would it be a pain to you, to have people discussing your works in progress? Would the money be worth the trouble to you?
