We here at WiC love bringing you news, reviews, and editorial content about Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire and genre fiction in general. Perhaps you noticed. And we’re going to keep doing all of that, and hopefully more besides. However, for the especially hardcore among you, we’re trying a little something extra: the WiC Club.
The WiC Club is a new premium service we’re starting up using Patreon’s user-friendly platform. Basically, if you choose to join at a certain level, you’ll get access to exclusive, members-only content and perks. For example, at $1 per month, you be entered to members-only monthly swag giveaways and get access to one special members-only article per week! At $4, you’ll get to watch or listen to (or both) an extra members-only episode of Take the Black Live, our weekly chat show and podcast, with topics chosen by you. And for $10 per month, you’ll get WiC Club tee-shirts and access to a monthly live stream with WiC editor Dan Selcke, a free-flowing discussion about all things Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire, and genre storytelling.
To reiterate, we’re not going to stop doing anything on WiC we already do; everything at the WiC Club will be above and beyond the normal content on the website. Head over to the Patreon page to learn more. Anyone who subscribes won’t be charged until September, when the service kicks off officially.
