I'm having a debate on a different forum (not a writing forum. I don't cheat on AW).
I'm trying to explain to everyone that authors shouldn't write with money in their eyes, but because they enjoy writing and they want for everyone to read their story. I personally feel that an author of a series has somewhat of a personal obligation to their readers.
Meanwhile, the majority of the forum replies that an author should write for money and shouldn't keep their readers in mind.
My question to all of you is this:
Should someone write for money or for readers? Does a series writer have any obligation at all to their readers?
