Plans

Two plans. No decoder ring required.

Core gets you into the community. Plus gets you the same community and includes Quick Advice: one question, one answer, no follow-ups, up to 5 questions per member per day. Paid advice is separate: drop a question for $7 per thread or schedule a live chat appointment for a one-time $9.

The beta deal

Friends I personally invite to test: use the beta invite link I send you and you get in free. No payment. Everyone else: try the paid beta for the first month. If you don't like it, tell me what didn't work so I can make the site better, and I'll refund that full first month. That's the deal: help me improve — full refund.

Subscription · The community

Core

$9/month

The whole FAFY community for people who want real conversation and writing. When you need deeper advice, add a $7 thread or a one-time $9 live chat appointment.

· The Rooms — structured, anonymous, two-person conversation with blind answers and question rounds
· The Writing — my observations, Sayings series, discussions, and post questions
· The Commons — the loose subscriber-only feed between Rooms
· The Ladder — private anonymous invitations and mutual, logged friend connections after a Room
· Drop a Question available — $7 per thread; I answer when I check messages twice a day
· Live Chat Appointments available — $9 per appointment, one-time

Subscription · Community + quick advice

Plus

$24/month

Quick Advice included

For members who want everything in Core plus a straight answer when the question really is simple.

· Everything in Core — Rooms, Writing, Commons, and the Ladder
· Quick Advice included — one straightforward question, one straightforward answer, no follow-ups
· 5 quick questions a day — that's the cap for each member, so I don't get buried and the answers stay worth reading
· Drop a Question available — the same $7 per thread, answered when I check messages twice a day
· Live Chat Appointments available — the same one-time $9 per appointment

See how Advice works

Paid advice — two one-time options

Both are available to Core and Plus members. Pick the pace that fits the situation.

Tier 1

Drop a Question — $7 per thread

One thread covers your starting question, my follow-ups, your answers, and my real take once I have enough context. I check messages twice a day, so replies come on that schedule — not instantly.

Tier 2

Live Chat — $9 per appointment

Schedule a time and talk it through with me live. It is a one-time $9 appointment, not a subscription and not a change to your plan.

Quick compare: Core ($9/mo) = Rooms, Writing, Commons, and the Ladder. Plus ($24/mo) = everything in Core plus Quick Advice: one question, one answer, no follow-ups, capped at 5 questions per member per day. Drop a Question = $7 per thread with twice-daily message checks. Live Chat = one-time $9 per scheduled appointment.

Beta note: checkout is live — or join with a beta invite link and it's free during the beta.
