I&#8217;ve been hanging out with this kid since he was <em>actually<\/em> a kid, and his ability to extemporaneously spout genuinely humorous fiction is like nothing I&#8217;ve seen in my 43 years. He really does have talent.<\/p>\n<p>Joking about his age aside, he&#8217;s out of college and trying to make his way in the world. And this is what he&#8217;s decided to do. I have no idea how well it will work, but I&#8217;m honestly cheering for him. This Patreon business is new to everyone. It might be that there&#8217;s only so much Patreon money to go around, and as more street buskers crowd the sidewalks we&#8217;ll all end up splitting the same pool of donations into ever-smaller shares. But maybe this is a newer, better way of doing things and artists can find an audience and earn a living without publishers, editors, brokers, and executives getting a cut. Maybe in the long run we&#8217;ll all get more entertainment for less money. I really have no idea.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/rutskarn\">his pitch<\/a>. Wish him luck, and if you want to read the Bastards thing then consider giving him some of your Earth Money.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck, Rutskarn!
