I just wanted to say a huge thank you (woof, purr) to everyone who has come and supported the project. And please, I do understand we're in the middle of a recession and times are hard. The one thing really would appreciate, even if the funds are not available for chipping in on this, is posting links to Read more... )

Just donated $30.

25 because I like physical books, and 5 because I've begun working my way through what's available on the Baen Free Library. ;-)

Thank you. I like owning and holding books. I do read on screen... but there is a magic in holding them.

Ah, stole my thunder. But congratulations anyway Dave. I think the goal is going to be reached within a month.

I'm betting on less. It's almost at the half-way mark now!

Well, let's hope it keeps rolling. The 10K was our bottom edge, which if we didn't get we couldn't even start :-(. The whole lot is much more expensive.

Hi. I found your page from Sarah Monette's and Elizabeth Bear's blogs. I LOVE Rats, Bats, and Vats & have reread it several times. I also love my cats, and the thought that other people might advise putting a cat (or those dog things) down rather than keeping them with you is abhorrent. I brought a street cat home with me from my aunt's apartment in Istanbul to Albany, NY. I only wish I could give more, but I am not in a good financial position right now. I wish your cats a safe & emotionally healthy quarantine!!!

Thank you:-). I really hate the idea of anyone putting themselves at financial awkwardness for this. I wanted to get a pic last night (but too slow to get camera) of Legsie-cat strolling across the top of Wednesday (dog-thing:-)). (Smile) as you've read RB&V maybe if you make a comment on same on one of the source blogs. I admitted I wasn't terribly PC and that worried a few people I think (though not either of those two).

You're quite welcome. & don't worry about it. I just started another job & am quite delighted about having actual money to spend again. How could I not help someone out with their cats? I've been on the benificiary end myself. I would have loved to see that picture! :-)

BTW, what source blogs do you mean? I couldn't find any comments on PC-ness on Bear or Monette's blogs, or on your writing blog or Flinders Family Freer blog.
