R.Collins has kindly agreed to edit my new posts for me. The question I have is, do you want Patreon notifications when I replace a post with the edited version? This will likely happen a couple of days after the original post.

IMHO, it's needed. Most times I suspect the changes will be minor, but there's always a chance that there will be major changes or retro-changes as a story evolves.

I usually read stories more than once as is, so if there are minor edits it won’t be too noticeable, but that might just be me

I feel like maybe wait for a big batch of them to be edited before letting us know.

Maybe limit notices to major changes or things that cause a shift in direction, not spelling or grammar fixes. I would say to put an edit into the post that it had been beta'd, for those who do care. I've seen several authors that have a regular lag between initial post and beta do as such.

I'm a yes, but if you're concerned about overwhelming us with notices, I would be Ok with not having them for the unedited versions. No insult intended, there isn't a writer out there who doesn't benefit from a good editor, and I personally find that the typos, etc. take me out of the story, so I will only be looking at the edited versions. Also wanted to say that this is a great step, I'm really excited for you, and what it will mean for the quality of your writing overall.
