Twilight floated a second fritter up to her mouth when she realized the first was gone. “What is in these things?” “Mostly love. Love ‘n about three sticks of butter.”

    Blast from the Past: Now 100% Less Likely to Get Me In Trouble

    Hey, some of you guys remember that thing I did a long time ago, where I wrote up 50 questions about headcanon and suggested people answer them on their blogs, and then, like, everyone on the site wanted to do it, and then the site mods sent me nice but stern messages suggesting I cut that shit out because it was spamming people's feeds?

    Full Circle

    Wanderer D posted a touching retrospective of his time in fandom, and that made me remember the very first I ever heard of the show.

Open for business #1: I hear you guys like blog posts... · 1:35am Aug 30th, 2014


Selling food at a party with an open buffet, selling blog posts on the internet… it’s pretty much the same thing.

Here we go!

Last time I blogged at you, I talked about my financial troubles, and an idea: support me on Patreon or through a Paypal tip jar, and I’ll blog for you regularly. People responded that this sounded like a thing that could maybe happen.

So, lets see how it works. Weekly blog posts will start Monday, September 1st.

Here’s a link to my Patreon. With Patreon, you can set it up to make a monthly donation.

Here’s a link to donate through Paypal. You can use this to donate a lump sum, or if you're not sure how much you can donate month to month.

Giving through either of them:
1) Helps me out, a lot.
2) Contributes towards me writing four interesting blog posts a month.
3) Earns rewards based on the amount you donated (see the list on Patreon or my previous blog post for details.)

Just so people know, I’ll honor the Patreon rewards for anyone who donates through paypal, for the month you donated. (Within reason. If you donated a lot this month and didn’t need brainstorming help until next month, I’m not going to be a jerk about it. But if it gets unsustainable, the letter of the rules is that I only have to honor the month(s) you paid.) Just let me know your username.

Speaking of unsustainable, the deal is that by making this post, I’m signing up for blog posts and gifts for a month, no matter how much money comes in (or doesn’t come in.) If I don’t get enough that I can keep this up (because I won’t have time with a job) then I won’t put up a post like this next month. I’m hoping that won’t happen, and I’ll be able to make the money I need doing what I love and entertaining you guys.

Obviously you don’t have to pay me, you can just enjoy some blogposts while I have time to make them (and I hope you will.) And you’re welcome to donate without worrying about the blogposts, if that’s what you want. It's just important to me that I'm at least offering what I can in exchange for asking my friends and acquaintances for money. If there’s anything else I could offer you (keeping in mind that I don’t take money for fanfic) let me know!

Thanks for taking a look at this! First blog post will go up on Monday.

(Also, sometime soon I will edit the Patreon page to have pictures of me and Trixie, but for now I have no good ones because my husband can't work a camera because I'm still about twenty pounds heavier than I used to be because reasons. But soon I'll get one that isn't too bad! Promise!)

Welp, expect a lil' somethin' somethin' tomorrow, friendo. :ajsmug:

Looking forward to the bloggery and cracking into my piggy bank to help out. :twilightsmile:

2412817 Pshaw, I swear i'm only doing it for baby pictures. :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

I look forward to seeing what the blogposts are. Hope it can sustain itself, and that you have enough creative energy to keep it rolling.

Always up to help out a fellow writer in need :3 I know it's not much, but I hope it helps anyway.

Yay for fun blogposts. I'll throw some money at you as well. Most of the rewards don't help me since I am not a writer, but getting more words on the screen from you is definitely worth it ;).

I will definitely see what I can do--if I wasn't at Dragon*Con as we speak, it'd be no issue. But I hope this goes well for you!
