I thought this post would be the quickest to write. I've been lining up these contributors for months, so it's a pleasure to finally sing their praises and link to their work!

Instead, it took me around 10 hours (including EXTENSIVE formatting woes, the Google Docs to Wordpress transition is not fun on a post like this) leading to cancelled plans. 

And I don't even mind, because this work is meaningful and powerful and I love it. 

This is how all our freelance contributors feel, and it's a privilege to be working on a project like this in such company. I'm thrilled to be able to pay them all... and, for the first time, pick up a paycheque myself. 

I explain this in more detail in the post, but I'm only going to be paid properly for my work if we meet 100% of our goal or more. I want to be paid, and REALLY need the money, but I just can't let transcripts go unfunded.

So I'm putting my money where my mouth is. I trust that our community will step up and support us, because that's what's happened every time I've asked. If I'm wrong, I don't get paid... but I'm certain I'm not wrong, and prepared to bet my livelihood on it. 

Which isn't to say I'm not sweating a little over this!! If you're planning to contribute and haven't already let us know, help give me some peace of mind by registering your support on our pre-launch page now: https://www.animefeminist.com/crowdfunding

[Editorial] Who will get the money we crowdfund? - ANIME FEMINIST

I've talked about why we're crowdfunding and what will happen if we don't reach our goal. Now it's time to get into some detail: who will your money actually go to? And how will we make sure we pay them properly?

I haven't registered because i don't know how my budget will be with christmas incoming T~T I don't want to give a false hope by registering in advance. I hope your campaign is going to succeed wonderfully ! Last year i was working for a comic artist who lauched a kickstarter and was desperate because it wasn't going over 20% ever, but in the last stretch she actually got all the money and a bit more. It's a lot of stress but *it's not over until the last day* ! May this company live long and well !! ♥

Your decision is actually perfect - we really need registrations to actually reflect the money we're likely to receive, so waiting until you can be more certain is absolutely my preference. Thank you so much! I feel for that artist, I can only imagine how stressful that must be! Crowdfunding wisdom is that if you don't make 30% on your first day you're less likely to make 100% ever, and (in the equity world, at least) if you don't complete your raise within two weeks you're very unlikely to manage it by the end of the campaign. I'm doing everything I can to tick both those boxes, but if we're struggling then the prospect of an eleventh hour save is reassuring!
