      @Auspice If you don't already have a fanbase then Patreon isn't going to magically develop one for you, unfortunately. That being said, there are a number of writers who make decent money (over $100 / month) writing for their patrons. At the very least Patreon will give you a platform to put the stuff that you're writing up instead of being filed away somewhere and gathering dust.

        I'm a professional chef. Haven't always been, but my list of work prior to professional chef is a long one and a lot less interesting.

        Was one of those "MUSH coder"? I vaguely recall an active coder who was a chef once.

          I've had the same job in the adult entertainment industry for 14 years. Before that I did some menial stuff such as baker in a Mr Donut, Night Manager at a Roy Rogers, and delivery boy for a Chinese restaurant.

            Not that you see this answer. Hah!

              @WTFE I have done MUSH coding, but not for a while. However, it depends on where you might have met that chef/coder.

                  I interacted with him on a few social MUSHes here and there before he dropped off the face of the MUSHing world.

                        I have a job that I had never even heard of before starting it, I work in 'Export Control'. Specifically I manage making sure a fair sized (2500+ person) business unit within a multinational corporation follows various laws relating to the management of strategic items and technology. Making sure we have licences and use them properly, etc.

                        Which is pretty interesting actually, I get to be involved in lots of strategic planning, project launches, etc, along with giving tons of training and managing local experts spread through the business. I have been doing the same kind of thing for nine years now though not at as senior a level. I have the best of both worlds though, a proper management grade/salary, 25 or so people part time answering to me as the 'subject matter expert', but nobody I actually have to line manage day to day.
