DONATIONS
I've been running kardasi.com for almost six years, and it's the most fulfilling spare time endeavor of my life, and has been for a good long while. I love the site, working with it and I love fan fiction, slash and what it brings to my life, but the sad truth is that in order to keep the site running, I need some help.
BTW - If you're reading this and know you've got something linked at my site, please remove the links to images. That will help me out just about as much as sending me a dollar! Save images on my site down to your own webpages, 'cause that sort of thing really is stealing bandwidth from me and it's a big part of my problem.
Right now I'm using about as much bandwidth as this account at SlashCity will allow, and I need to upgrade. So, if you feel that you can spare a dollar or two, do so (Please, don't send me big chunks of money, okay!). That's all it would take to help me out. If a few people help out, who have been involved in the festivals or enjoyed reading the stories, it'll be enough for me to keep Lady Kardasi's going as strong and with as much content as always.
If you have read this far and feel as though I should stop whining and keep my site running on my own accord - don't go any further. No hard feelings at all. I don't want ANYONE who click into this page to feel in any way obligated or coerced into sending me money. And there is no requirement to donate money in order to get the passwords.
(All you need to do to get the password to the restricted areas of the site is go here, and follow the instructions!)
On the other hand if you feel that kardasi.com is one of your favorite cyberspace places to hang out and you feel that a buck or two is a fair price to pay for all the fun you've had, I'd love for you to lend me a helping hand. Now that I've gotten that off my chest...
Unfortunately, Paypal suspended my account, and it doesn't look like I'm going to get my money back from them. Let's all boycott Paypal, okay? They did this presumably because I'm "selling" or "advertising" adult material/services on my site. Since that isn't true, I think Paypal is in the wrong.
I didn't lose all that much money (125 $) but that's enough to put a dent in my kardasi.com fund. People have suggested that I use "Yahoo PayDirect!" but that requires me to have an address in the States, which obviously, I don't. I've also been suggested that I should use Stormpay, and I'm considering it, but they seem to have the same policy as PayPal about donations.
A great big thanks to those of you who have already sent me dollars to help out! You know who you are.
