What can/should I charge? Subscriptions?

Submitted by admin on

Just wondering about financing this thing.  For the time being, we'll see what the DONATE button brings in.  I would like to not involve any outside entity that might interject itself, track users, usage, etc. but that would probably mean some sort of subscription model.  What (if anything) should I charge for CONTRIBUTORS (writers) to be given a platform, a place to show their work?  FANS are currently set up as people who appreciate the site and want to participate (save favorites, comment, etc.) without writing.  ANYONE can currently see all of the content.  Ideas?
