Get Paid for Reading
Some stories have Feedback Bounties applied to them: questions from authors who are seeking feedback on one of their chapters.
Read stories with a Bounty, thenreply to them with helpful feedback for a chance to be awarded with $1 Credits! Not only is it a huge help to authors, Credits can be exchanged for awesome awards in StoryForge, or cashed out for real money.
