He said that he'd write part 3 (he had already committed to part 2 before
this all began) if at least 75% paid for part 1. 76% paid up front and he
said that more people were sending money in after the fact.

I predict that the percentage who pay will drop as the novelty wears off.
Has King said what the threshold is below which he won't continue?
My guess is that the percentage who pay will approach that level.
