Tip jar is closed! And...um, wow.

Okay, so first off: the tip jar is closed. Any money that is randomly sent to me after this date does not go into the tip jar total. So please wait until the next time I do this, to make sure that you get the story to go with your silver, okay!

Second off, thank you to absolutely everyone who donated, thought about donating, or couldn't donate. You are all awesome.

Thirdly, the total:

$2,312

...um. I'd sort of been hoping for four hundred, but that felt greedy. So...wow. Thank you all so much, and now let's tell the people at home what they've won!

"Sweet Poison Wine" (the followup to "Married In Green") is finished, and Tara is designing the cover now. As soon as that's done, I'll send the files off for ebook conversion, and we'll be ready to post.

"The First Fall" has been added to the schedule, tentatively with a June completion. Could be sooner, as I knock other things out of the way, shouldn't be later, since Half-Off Ragnarok is due on May 1st.

"Loch and Key" has finally stabilized as a consequence of my mapping out "The First Fall," and will be going on the paid fiction list as soon as I clear "The First Fall" and can see the schedule again.

"Blocked" has been added to the schedule, tentatively with a February completion, to keep y'all from going into Antimony withdrawal.

Thank you all again, so, so much. You are amazing.

Now you and Amanda Palmer are proving people will pay for what they like. Interesting social experiment, as well as good stories to look forward to.

I am overwhelmed.

That's so awesome! Thanks to everyone's generosity for providing the world with more InCryptid shorts!

And feeding the cats. Always the cats.

The cats matter more than all else.

2312? Man, it has to be annoying when your even your own tippers promote a competing Hugo nominee.

I didn't even notice that! Ha!

Wish I could have tossed in a little more (ALLTHE BILLS!!!!!) but glad to see everyone tossing dollars at you exceeded your hopes. :)

April 7 2013, 01:25:33 UTC 4 years ago

Honey, even a dollar was more than I expected. <3

So. Pleased.

Somehow, I'm not surprised. Yay, more stories! :)

Though, I'm not sure this disproves that thrall thing John Scalzi was talking about on his blog yesterday.

Oiy! I ain't no thrall!

You given us so much free fiction (you know how much I love Velveteen!), seems only fair we should pay what we can. I love what you do, and that you share it with us!

seanan_mcguire

Aw, thank you. :)

We love you, Seanan! Also, Sarah and I were wondering when you first opened the jar if we'd have to pick you up off the floor when the total came in. :)

Hee.

Yay!

I'd be more surprised...but frankly, you're awesome enough that I'm not actually that surprised.

Whee! So love watching what happens when my little bit is added to hers and his and theirs. :-) (Might be a bit of a Kickstarter/Indiegogo addict. Just a little.)

It IS pretty awesome.

Yay! (and giggles because you were surprised)
Individually we may be broke-ass but collectively we are mighty!

True!

Yay! That's just awesome :)

Also awesome - -that you're a special guest of honor at Norwescon next year. My son was at first 'who' and then I said "Seanan McGuire -- you know, Mira Grant," and he got all excited. My daughter's email reply to me "holy shit balls, I get to meet Seanan McGuire!! I can't wait until next year!" (okay, I edited slightly, there was an f-bomb in there somewhere which made me laugh).

Thanks for asking us for tips so we could help out!

Whaddya know, people who have money to pay for awesome stuff will use said money on said stuff!

(And if I had had even a smattering of pocket change... No matter. Saving up for Midnight Blue-Light Special and buying it when I can will feed your cats anyway.)

P.S.: I think I've read Discount Armageddon about a dozen times now. It's awesome.

That's fantastic. <3
