Charity Donations...

Post by drew »

A few folks have been leaving posts/emails for me indicating they'd like to show their appreciation for my Oolite Stories by making a donation, or buying something off my Amazon wishlist, or by giving to charity in response.

Right from the start I've never been happy with the thought of making any financial gain from these stories, but the charity idea appeals.

Again, potentially leaves you in that 'grey' zone of money and Elite. What do you think?

Cheers,

Drew.

Ahruman has a link to his Amazon wish lists in his signature. I would be fine with you putting a link to your favourite charity (or charities) somewhere.

I don't think requesting donations to a charity could be construed in any way as making financial gain. As long as you're not collecting for The Drew Wagar Exotic Holiday Fund or anything like that, it should be fine. ;)

My page is almost ready, paypal link to charity is established. Should be ready in time for launch.

What do you think? Linky clicky.
