I said I'd do it, and so...

[seanan_mcguire]

I am now taking "tip jar" donations to fund the next InCryptid story or stories. To tip, please PayPal to...

delirium@xocolatl.com

I will leave the tip jar open until next Wednesday, the 9th, when I will close it and post a total for what was collected.

If I get $200, I will prioritize finishing and posting "We Both Go Down Together," aka, "Alice actually arrives."
If I get $300 or more, I will add "Ghosts of Bourbon Street" to the inchworm list, which means it gets scheduled and everything.

"We Both Go Down Together" will be posted this year even if no one tips me a penny; I'm not holding anything finished hostage, just trying to justify shuffling things around.

Thank you!

'Red Roses and Dead Things' is one of my favorite CDs - filk or any genre.

And sent you monies. Love you lots!

[cheshire-bitten.livejournal.com]

Sent!

I haven't actually read the incrypit series (shakes fist at audible/Brilliance Audio for not making them available in Australia) so consider it a donation for whatever you want to do.

Tip jar opening noted, logged, and responded to. Sent some funds your way, maybe more later if I can. No need to reply with thanks or anything (I know you'll see it), just keep writing as fast as your heart desires. But automatic thought-transcription like the book _God Emperor of Dune_ by Frank Herbert, when will we have it???

My favorite Decemberists lyric: "Had a dream/ You and me and the war at the end times..." -- Calamity Song. California, catastrophe, bouncy.

If the world was actually coming to an end, though, I would still want to be listening to R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World as We Know It" as my personal doomsday song. I made two R.E.M. mix CDs recently from concerts. The first was titled "Songs for when the world ends." The second was called "After the Afterlife," because we would need something to do after the end-times...

Right. Clearly I need to stop rambling and go to bed now, so I can go to work in the morning.

My favorite Decemberists lyric is probably something from Hazards of Love. That is just an incredible piece of work, and I can't not listen to the whole thing any time I press play on a single song.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Sadly, yeah. :(

I know Bill Roper still has copies, not sure about other dealers.

Fed the tip jar a couple of times. Bummed that Red Roses and Dead Things is out of print and not readily available - it's currently my Doing Science in Little Dark Rooms music, and I'd have liked to have a copy. Since I can't seem to find one, opted to feed the tip jar again.

Sadly, it is currently out of print, although some filk dealers (including Bill Roper) still have copies.

Thank you!

Have tried a couple times but apparently I can't just send money without creating an account, which I can't do as they have refused to leave it open unless I provide my banking info. That is not happening. They insist on this despite many years of using a credit card through them with no problems - it is apparently for my own security that I have to give them my banking info. And I can use a credit card through PayPal where there is a donate button but not just send money. Anyway, sorry for ranting.

Wanted to ask, can I either send you a money order or just give you some US cash at SFContario, in an envelope marked for this or future tip jars? I generally want to encourage and support the release of any of your stories at any time you can, so am happy to help, it is the mechanism that is the problem. You are so generous in the stuff you give away online, it is frustrating not to be able to contribute back!!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Bleah. I'm sorry. :(

If you wish you can absolutely hand me cash at SFContario.

The cow^H^H^Hjar has been tipped!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Woot!

[sheistheweather]

Sent. Thank you.

Done! *flails at you in a squeeful manner* <3

Sent a bit, I know its not much, but its what I can manage right now. And I just wanted to say thank you for writing so many wonderful works, I've loved everything of yours that I have read so far and I'm sure I will love everything in the future too.

I also wanted to add (and I hope this doesn't sound too strange), thank you for posting the occasional pictures of your cats. I had a part-Maine Coon cat who died about a year ago, and I still miss him terribly. Seeing pics of your kitties feels a bit like picking at the edge of a scab, it hurts, but its so hard not to and I think it helps, in the long run at least...

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Very welcome, and thank you.
