24 Hour Zine - Prep

[beetiger]

I've pushed the papers into a pile on my desk, and now I'm getting some of the practical things set up to give myself this chunk of focused time. Official start time for the 24hz is 11:00 am today -- that gives me time tomorrow morning to go to Staples after dropping projectmothra off at camp and then go to Staples (which for this project I'm going to pretend is a Kinko's, just 'cause) to make physical copies of the 'zine and still finish in the 24-hour window.

I'm doing this for fun, for personal exploration, and because dammit I want to have something in particular that I can definitively say I did in 2008. But I'm also doing it for charity. Anyone who makes a donation between now and midnight tonight will get a numbered copy of the 'zine, produced in the 24 hour window, and their name listed in some sort of "sponsor" spot somewhere in the 'zine.

The charity is the fund which the Unitarian Universalists have set up to help the folks affected by the shootings in the Knoxville congregation. Much as I've found the incident personally upsetting. I have been proud of the response of my community to this tragedy, and I invite you to be part of my project, and of their healing, by making a donation of any amount. Seriously, be generous if you have the money and feel inspired, but if not, even a dollar or two is fine. This is about participation as much as anything else, and I want all of you to be a part of it.

You can donate one of three ways:
1)Go directly to the Knoxville fund webpage, make a credit card donation, and send me the receipt.

2) Use this Paypal button:

I'll collect anything that comes through this way.

3)Put a check or concealed cash in the mail to me, and let me know you did it. I trust you.

The topic of the 'zine is making stuff. I hope you'll enjoy it. I hope I'll enjoy it. See you as the day progresses.

ETA: Feel free to post elsewhere about this/send folks here!

Hey, I like making stuff! (clicks) n.n

... and I like zines. And Unitarians. :c)

Whee! Hope the zine's going well as it gets into the night. I was thinking of doing another 24 hour comic during my vacation in August, myself. :)

I sent a donation along. See you in the morning!

Heyas! Did you get my comment?

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

I did. Did you get my response? You are listed in the sponsor list in the 'zine in the way you prefer. Thanks for being part of this!

Thanks! I was surprised when the donation went through without giving me an option to send a message with it (like regular 'Send Money' generally did for me), so I had to try contacting you somehow. The legal name there is one that I plan to change, probably sometime this year. Most likely I'll keep the last name but change the first name to Kaja.
