Tip jar time has come again.

[seanan_mcguire]

This seems to be an "every six months or so" thing, which is nice: I don't feel too demanding, but I'm able to keep prioritizing the free shorts in my lists. And so, as promised, I am now taking "tip jar" donations to fund the next InCryptid story or stories. To tip, please PayPal to...

delirium@xocolatl.com

Please choose "friends and family," not "goods and services," as I have no physical goods to send. The tip jar will remain open from today (Friday, April 10th) through next Friday (April 17th). I will then close it and post a total for what was collected.

If I get $200, I will prioritize finishing and posting "The Way Home," aka, "the next generation begins."
If I get $300 or more, I will prioritize finishing and posting "Lay of the Land," aka "Thomas and Alice are awkward cookies."

"Star of New Mexico" will be posted this year even if no one tips me a penny; I'm not holding anything finished hostage, just trying to justify my perpetually shuffling things around. Thanks so much to everyone who's ever donated in the past; you've done a lot to make my current situation possible.

Thank you!

ETA: Thank you so much to those who have already chipped in. Please do remember, however, that I am not selling anything; there's nothing to ship. Please choose "friends and family," to avoid both PayPal prodding me about sending your non-existent product, and to keep fees at bay.

"Thomas and Alice are awkward cookies."

Presumably not the cats? Although...

Cats named for characters. :)

Thank you for the chance-and-reminder. O:>

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

I've sent a tip, and I wanted to ask if you accept recurring payments at all?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Not at this time.

I have an unholy desire to ask "But how much to see Awkward College Alex?" because I am just unhelpful that way. But in all sincerity, this is a brilliant idea and I hope you get the funds you need during your shuffle.

Oh, we'll get there eventually. Mostly, I'm going linearly, with occasional digressions into the present day.

so glad you opened the tip jar again! i was just thinking the other day that i'd like to donate to the tip jar next time you opened it since i've really enjoyed the previous short stories.

Happy to add a little something to the jar....

Thank you.

Another "finally able to throw a dollar in". Just spend it on cheese and cake.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

[calico-reaction.livejournal.com]

Yay!! I finally was able to do this before the deadline ended!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Glee.

Sent! I'm amused that this is what made me sit down and start updating our household budget, which has been a pending project for way too long. But I needed to see how much we had in your budget line.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

We all have things that spur us on.

[ben wolfe (from livejournal.com)]

Done and gladly done.
