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!

Just curious, why does your paypal say Shannon? Legal name with alternate spelling?

Oh and a reminder to peeps, if you do send, make sure to select sending money to family or friends so Seanan might avoid some fees!

Long fucking story that I do not have the spoons to go into.

Thank you very much for tipping.

Contribution sent! I was serious last time when I said we'd add a line to our budget for you. :)

[kriatyrr.livejournal.com]

heh, paypal told me you might reject the payment because it's not your native currency. Um, I thought it would automatically translate it to USD on arrival... O_o ::shrugs:: Money is money, right?

And tipped! Thanks for all you do and the joy you bring all your readers - both by your books and short stories and by the wonderful interaction you give to us here, where we feel more like extended family rather than strange intruders voyeuristically peeking in on an author's life and mind :) Well, maybe some of us feel both... You're awesome; keep it up!

Done.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Best Brian is best.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

No, it came through just fine. Thank you!

[mrs-norris-mous.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the last Tybalt story too.

[needlegrrl]

Tipped! Thanks for tweeting about it - I would have missed it otherwise.

We just set up a Patron campaign to do the same thing, though that's a per creative unit ongoing type of thing. It looks like a really awesome system, if you'd like to look into it. Here's Poe's, it pretty much just went up yesterday: http://www.patron.com/MichaelPoe

Billy, you have sent $100.00 USD to Shannon McGuire.

Posted something recommending Patreon, if you'd like to check that out. It's a per creative unit fundraising took which would let people say, "I want to pay $x every time a new piece of story is posted" as well as letting you set goals the way you've just done. We started a page pretty much yesterday because we liked the way it made tracking everything so much easier. I linked it in the earlier version of this comment, but it got marked as spam. Dunno if you can still see it or not, but anyway it's a very easy system to use, and as someone who has managed donations for the last nine years, that's saying a lot.

done and done!

I was curious, do you have any plans to offer some of your music for sale as digital downloads since it seems cdbaby is always out of the cds? I wanted to buy some more copies for some friends but alas, they are out, so I figured I'd ask. I did check around your previous faqs, so if I missed it and you answered already I am really sorry for bugging you with it again.

[groblek.livejournal.com]

Not Seanan, but I believe your answer is 1.6 on her music FAQs here: http://seananmcguire.com/musicfaq.php

[rissani.livejournal.com]

Donated what I could today. Is there any way to keep open donations for ONE more day since I get paid every 2 weeks and this is my off week. I'd love to throw a little more money at you then too.

[mithriltabby]

Sent it with kitty pix so no one would mistake it for business.

[sylphon.livejournal.com]

Yep, I overlooked that one entirely. Thanks! It's such a bummer though, I want to give these to friends, but I'm not willing to give up my cds :-)

[mmaster.livejournal.com]

Five of my local currency sent. Hopefully it makes a meaningful number over there.

[kalimeg.livejournal.com]

I listed you as "family and friends" for obvious reasons. I failed to leave a note. 25.00 USD from tlr.black

[vincentursus.livejournal.com]

Yay! More InCryptid. ^_^

[glad2dance.livejournal.com]

Sent $20. Thank you for sharing your stories with us this way!

[hms42]

Sent a couple of $$$. I enjoy your music and InCryptid series a little too much to not send a little money in.
