I like it, I'll put it on my site as soon as it's official.

No reason why not from my end of things.

... *does so, then* :3

(Though I wish I had more in my account, if everyone donated just a little, we'd be set.)

I like it, I like it... I shall give it a nice, prominent spot once it's time to unleash it 'pon the world.

I always think HTML could do with some basic image manipulation. Flipping, gray scaling... stuff like that.

In other news, I've been more or less ignoring this thread, thinking it was the sampler. I need to catch up later.

*thumbs up* I added it to my main page, now let's see if anyone'll donate anything!

Cortland called me to tell me to tell you all that it's official - use the code.

That is all, have a nice day.

How are we coming along? It looks like I'm out for contributing artwork.

Rkolter · Post by **Rkolter** » Sun Nov 12, 2006 8:14 pm

We have our first donation: $7.39 (out of $8, remember Paypal takes it's cut).

Just another $1992.61 to go!

Fee details: 6.6% + 1% for international. That's higher than I expected it to be; I'm used to 3.9% or so.

::edit:: forgot that includes a standard $0.30 fee per transaction; 30 cents is 3.75% of an $8 transaction, that's why the fee seems so high. So we're ok. Actual fee was roughly 2.9% + $0.30 + 1% for international, like they advertise.

Added it to my site should be up tomorow with a plea to my readers. I plan on donating soon myself.

Cortland · Post by **Cortland** » Sun Nov 12, 2006 9:42 pm

Thanks, Ryan!

Let's hope the donations start rolling in. I'm going to work out some details on different "levels" of donations for the book. I was thinking $10-50 could be "bronze" level, "$50-100" would be a silver level, and "$100 and above" could be like a gold sponsor. Each level gets different amounts of recognition in the book, though I'd like to give anybody and everybody who donates to the book some credit in our sponsor pages at the end of the book. Maybe as incentive some volunteer artists could offer to give "gold sponsors" gift art of their choice to feature in the book, like a caricature or portrait, in exchange for a donation. Just a thought.

Also, we may have room for some extra artwork in the book for pages like the table of contents, an introductory page, and a few others. I also learned that we'll need to come up with something for the back page as well. Humbug is only doing the front cover, currently. Does anybody have any ideas?

Put the button up on my site, should be there when it updates in a few minutes!

Glambourine · Post by **Glambourine** » Sun Nov 12, 2006 10:50 pm

The code is on indextemplate.html; it'll be up tomorrow. I've just used it to donate $10--more whenever I have more to spare, ideally.

This is, by the way, awesome--but is there a hard deadline yet for getting the pages in?

Rkolter · Post by **Rkolter** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 5:00 am

This morning: 3 donations, new total $26.11

Shishio · Post by **Shishio** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 5:38 am

The button is now up on my site as well. Good luck.

Cortland · Post by **Cortland** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 5:39 am

I just updated the total for the progress bar this morning. We're on our way!

Note to everyone who's donating: be sure to mention in the comment box in PayPal if there's anything special I should put next to your name in the "sponsors" page when we finish the book.

Right now, the hard deadline for comic pages is tentatively the end of January, though I'm going to be bugging everybody for artwork well before then just to make sure we're on track.

I just belatedly realized this means you're gonna want me to update you with the names of people who have donated, and any comments they make.

Folks, if you don't want your name listed, mention that in the comments too, or if you want to go by something other than the name your paypal is listed under.

And the three who donated already - let me know in pm if you don't want your paypal name to be the name Cortland uses.
