I rather enjoyed Steve Miller and Sharon Lee's approach.

As long as you are turning my ideas into threads, you might as well give me some karma. Other wise you're just pirating (parroting?) ideas.

Oblique reference: Top O' the Muffin To You!
You pay a fee of about a dollar each week (or you can pay $25+ up-front) and you get to read the chapters, as posted online. I've read their "Fledgling" book and am in the process of reading "Saltation". I chose to pay $30 for each book, right up front. And I have dutifully made copies of each chapter-in-the-rough (Yeah, that's right. You're reading the 'first-draft' versions of each chapter.) and have assembled "Fledgling" into an ebook for my Cybook. That way I can reference back while reading the second story. Trust me, it helps!

It's kind of like buying a pre-pre-pre-electronic-Advanced-Reader-Copy of the story. But I like the story enough that I'll certainly buy the final, edited, e-book (and the dead tree) when it gets released.
