Total so far: $2142
Goal: $5000
Donors: 109 (Merci!)

Hey! The excellent Warren Bailey donated $76 to give us a round $2000! ("I really like your site, and today is payday....") Thanks, Warren!

So I've keep my promise, and have resumed normal operation for the next week, and updated all columns.

Bruce Sterling's Schism Matrix every weekday.

Richard Kadrey's Viper Wire on Wednesday.

Michael Swanwick's collboration with Francisco Goys, The Sleep of Reason, on Thursday. Today's installent is torn from today's headlines.

Dave Langford's Runcible Ansible on Friday. All free, just like the old days — last month.

If you haven't donated yet, please consider doing so. Even a dollar will help: I need to show potential sponsors that readers care about the site enough to contribute.

When we get to $2500, I'll post Ben Rosenbaum's witty and hilarious new story, The Death Trap of Dr. Nefario.

Why I need money: I pay my contributors. I pay my webmaster. I don't pay myself, but I cannot afford to put money in.

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. Thanks for any contribution you can make. — Eileen
