What is Hotly?

Hotly is a paid inbox for one creator. Fans pay to send a note, priced by length ($5 for 250 characters up to $15 for 1,000 by default), or subscribe weekly. The creator replies from one inbox when it suits them, and a reply can carry a photo or video that is free or paid to unlock. There's also a free community page.
