I voted “not to see such ads,” but I feel reasonably comfortable with the “To see the novel I’m writing, click here” signature. That gives something of value to an interested reader who likes your style; it’s closer in content to links to the relevant sequence than it is to advertisements.
It’s also more congruent with the LW site style—they’re keeping the website free of even the minimal advertisements reddit uses; taking advantage of that lack of noise to insert your own advertisements seems churlish.
Although perhaps all my objections are motivated by my perception of asking for money as low-status.
