Authors of all genres are complaining that they can’t make any money any more (most never did).
I’m writing a SF story at the moment which will offer readers the chance to make use of today’s invention: a web interface by which someone can link to their facebook profile and have one paragraph in their copy of the ebook written by me for that particular reader.
This would involve an extra charge and the buyer could ask that his or her paragraph be included in the standard release in future (with an attribution to them as patron).
