In case you missed the awesome news, former GWJ writer and friend to all Lara Crigger has launched an awesome new podcast called The Heroine's Journey! I'll let Lara explain what it's all about:
There's very few ways outside of the donation drive we're comfortable earning money through GWJ. Most of that is because ads feel icky and unrelated to what we're actually doing here day to day.
One thing I can say for sure about last year's predictions, I gotta learn to trust my gut more. Despite the Steam Box announcements at CES mere days after my prediction, Valve's initiative failed to get off the ground in 2014 as I'd originally guessed.
After the bump you'll find the final list of GWJ donors. From here on out if you're supposed to be on the list but for some reason not, I'll add you directly to this list instead of posting a new one.
This will be the next to last update for the donation drive, and the final one before the drive ends tomorrow night at midnight. That means there's currently some 36 hours left in this donation drive before we return to your previously scheduled programming. As of earlier today we crossed the latest drive goal of an original written and performed Meeples song.
I'm sorry in advance.
Thank you to everyone who has donated this year so far in our annual donation drive. It’s impossible to say how much we appreciate it, but know that if we were to quantify that appreciation into a specific number it would be very large and probably best expressed in scientific notation.
Halfway through the drive and we're continuing apace quite nicely so far! Very close to unlocking custom icons for some lucky winners and then a hop, skip and a jump away from forcing Julian to write something deep and meaningful about something ridiculous.
Hi everyone! Very happy to say the donation drive is going well so far. We're definitely trending a little bit behind last year without the personal rewards, but we're still on track to unlock a bunch of cool projects and prizes this year! Each and every person who donates to the site is carrying hundreds of users who get to enjoy an ad-free experience and an amazing community of people.
Football is in the air, kids are back in school, the first leaves are falling from the trees, and GWJ is asking for your help funding the upcoming year. It must be September!
Thanks to your donations in the 2013 donation drive we have once again brought some excellent writers together to do a brand new magazine! Great articles, an amazing cover by our own Kristin Sands and original comics by the ineffable Sway.
