Hi everyone,
Several people have asked if there is a deadline for the Fanfic Fundraiser. The short answer is, "No, but ..."
There is no specific deadline for your contribution -- if you want to give something but can't do it right away, that's fine. The bills come in all year long, so donations are welcome whenever they are given.
However, we are offering an incentive for you to get your money to us within the next few weeks. As I mentioned in my initial announcement, we will be raffling off several fanzines to those people who get their money to us before
October 1, 2003 .
There are eight fanzines in all -- four original copies, autographed by the authors included inside, and four photocopies. The fanzines include popular vignettes by some of FoLCdom's authors, complete with an introduction to each story written by each individual author, talking about why the story is special to them, what inspired them to write it, etc.
The PG version of the fanzine (there is also an nfic version, with popular nfic vignettes) also includes a special treat -- a brand new fanfic by one of our authors! If your name is drawn, you will get an advance copy of this story -- the author has agreed not to post it anywhere else for a year.
(The rest of us will just stew quietly in our jealousy. <g>)
So how do you get your name in this drawing? Simple.
You just get us your donation by
October 1, 2003 and your name will be entered!
(If you don't want to be entered in either drawing, or just want to be in one or the other (PG or nfic), please let us know when you make your donation.)
There is no minimum donation required to enter! Everyone gets their name entered once into each drawing, no matter the amount of their donation. Thanks to everyone who has already donated. We really appreciate it!
For those of you who want to donate but haven't done so yet, remember, we can take PayPal donations directly, or you can send cash or a check to your regional collector. For more information, please contact the appropriate person below:
