Total so far: $1764
Goal: $5000
Donors: 94 (Thanks!)

My profound thanks to everybody who has made a contribution to keep us going. I'll see that you get your money's worth.

I really want to see the number of contributors go up, if only for my own gratification. Do only 93 people read the zine? How can I take that number to a potential sponsor and make any case that they should support the site?

Just send me, in Bruce Sterling's words, *one lousy dollar*, and you'll be counted as someone who wants to see the magazine continue. That's a lot more than you can get for a dollar elsewhere.

When we hit $2000, I'll post a new Richard Kadrey story, and more Schism Matrix. When donations reach the $2500 level, I'll post Ben Rosenbaum's new story, The Death Trap of Dr. Nefario. When I get $5000, we'll go back to business as usual: absolutely free content five days a week.

Thanks for any contribution you can make. Donations via the Amazon Honor System are completely anonymous, so if you're embarrassed about not being able to toss in a fifty, that's the way to go. There is no service charge to you for either Amazon or PayPal. — Eileen
