*shrugs* Enh, the writeathon giveth, and the writeathon taketh away. It may just be a case of that folks found me interesting at first, and now my schtick has palled. I still have two folks who say they will pay me, eventually, but there were only six story requests and two were from folks who only prompt, never sponsor. Just the way of things, I guess.
At least I’m now in a position where not having that money doesn’t mean I’ll die! So I have the luxury of taking it as a hit purely to the ego.
I am EMBARRASSED how I still managed to get that damn button wrong. You’d think after five writeathons, I’d be onto this by now… *shame* But it’s now been fixed, at least! I guess katz sent money to me a different way, or I’m sure she would’ve told me. <.<
LBT – no, NO trolls, bloody ugly things! This is a logo for the Crafty SPINSTERS group we’re thinking of setting up on Ravelry. I was thinking of a kitty knitting. Actually I thought last night that a pic of Poutine knitting would be great, if katz likes the idea (and didn’t want to draw it herself?)
A banner could be fun – kitties doing different crafty things maybe? Knitting, spinning, crochet, embroidery maybe? Anyone got suggestions like other critters (NO TROLLS) or crafts?
Hmm, okay! $20 for the logo, and the banner, it’ll depend if it’s a bunch of different animals or what. I’ll do them same style I did the Feminist Borgcritters. (Did Argenti ever see the story katz prompted for that?)
Borgcritters, or the kitties on cloudiah’s blog (love that banner) would be lovely. Figure out your price and round it up a bit, and do it when your’e ready – I’ll create the group afterward, Ravelry like new groups to have their badges ready first. 🙂

@LBT, I think I totally missed your writeathon announcement. I’ve been a bit scattered in my reading. 🙁
RE: cloudiah
The promptcall has closed, but I extended the bonus writing counter through today, due to schedule fail. You’re free to take part, though!
Can I still sponsor?
You most certainly can! And if you do it today, it’ll count towards the bonus word count (AKA: more stories posted!)
Okay — for some reason the PayPal button wasn’t working, but I still have the email I used for last time. That should work, right?
RE: cloudiah
Definitely. And shit, if the button’s broken… let me check, maybe folks have been trying to sponsor and just didn’t tell me! *rushes to check*
It works in the sense it takes you to PayPal, but it’s not set up to automagically send money to you.

katz, love those illustrations!

Kitty knitting (knittying?) sounds like it’d be fun to draw.
Great! How much to commission it?
Knittying, definitely. 😀
Oh, sorry, I just paypal’d you the same way I’ve paid you for other stuff before.
How big would the image need to be?
And don’t worry, katz, it’s not your fault! I should’ve checked the button like I normally do; I must have forgotten this time.
*is now working on posting the story cloudiah sponsored*
I don’t think it’d need to be very big, since it’s just for a logo. Hang on a tick and I’ll see if Ravelry gives any instructions.
Oh, here we are: the badge needs to be 100 pixels wide by 60 pixels tall. Oh, and a banner – 468 pixels wide by 60 tall.

There’s always the classic kitties chasing yarn!

Maybe a kitty knitting and another chasing the yarn! 😀
Oh, OT: tell Sneak “visualisation WIN”. 🙂
Perfect! Knitting and chasing yarn is easy. Make it $25 and you’ve got yourself a deal.
And Sneak is glad the visualization is useful!
Cool! I’ll pop some $$ in at your site now.
