I wanted to clarify one of my odder selections: I said the most I'd donate in order to receive a copy of the book (a PDF in my case) is $5, while the most I'd donate for the pleasure of reading the web serial is $20. In my mind, "donating" to receive a book is buying a book, and the most I'd be happy paying for an ebook is $5. Donating just to support the serial is patronizing the arts (in the good meaning of patronizing *grin*) and supporting the author, and the limits on that depend only on my finances and my love of the author's works. Not really rational, but there you have it.
