Ways to support writers on HearthWrite:
- Read, follow, rate, and review — still the strongest organic help.
- Embers — hard currency from your Wallet for tips and marketplace spend when those tools are available on a story or author.
- External tip links — some authors still share an off-site support link on their story.
- Job Board — peer callings stake Embers for concrete help (feedback, promo swaps, and similar).
Embers and Wisps never buy Trust, XP tiers, Weekly Prompt votes, review weight, or organic discovery scores. Soft Wisps can only buy optional visibility overlays and cosmetics — not a place on Trending.
Premium membership and paid chapters are expanding; when a gate exists on a chapter, the reader UI will say so clearly.
