Loading ...Believe it or not… I’ve been making less than a third of my normal ad revenue since January, which kinda put me back into relying more heavily on donations. I was prepared and have gotten by without a problem. (Turned off husband’s movie channels. 
That kind of stuff to make ends meet.) While my ad revenue is starting to slowly rebound, it’s moving INCREDIBLY slowly in the upward direction.
Donations go toward supplies (I am inking all comics digitally to save money on ink and paper), groceries, gas, medical bills, medications and bills. (Readers have asked that I post what the donations go toward. It’s not going to beer and pizza. I don’t drink (I like honey mead, but it’s been three years now since I last had any) and being diabetic, I’m not all that fond of pizza.) Currently the donation incentive is wallpapers. Just send me one of my character names with your donation and I tally them up for a wallpaper goal. You can see those goals on the support pages for each comic.
I like gift cards to grocery stores as well! Since that tends to be what donations go for and I’ve learned there are perks for using those gift cards, such as discounts on gas and groceries! The cards I need: Albertsons, Tom Thumb and Kroger are my three stores, but I less frequently go to Target and Walmart. You can get gift cards for LESS than what is on them from here!! And if you really want to send me AMC or Cinemark cards or restaurant cards I won’t fuss. 
It’s nice to not have to cook on occasion.

Text below here is not valid right now.;) Although I will note that I eventually will have to stop working on the greyscale comics to put the time I put in those into working harder on getting books and other products out.
Donations, EMAIL and comic traffic dictate the order the comics update, which is the way it’s always been technically, I just didn’t keep a running tally before. If RL gets in the way of work, comics with the least will not be updated, so that I do not feel guilty about not updating them. You may choose from the following comics: Alien Dice, Akaelae, Genoworks Saga, Legacy, Shivae! and PURE. $Alien Dice, $ Akaelae, $ Genoworks Saga, AD: Legacy, Shivae! and PURE. If I get donations for a comic after I’ve completed the weekly update, it will be moved to the next week.
And, from prior donation pages: DO NOT feel guilty about not being able to donate. I do not want college students or people who don’t have such things to spare to feel that they should. I know I on occasion receive a couple of dollars from college students in the mail and I’d prefer they not do that. I was a college student once and I KNOW how it is. This is the reason that I do very few donation incentives that are only available to those with money. I know there are many of you who would support such a thing if you could, but I don’t see a point in it.
The comics at this moment, are primarily supported by advertising. I can update or I can handle the store. I can update or I can make more products (Which at the moment, I can’t do anyway because I lack enough money to get things made and don’t feel like trying to.) I cannot do both. It’s taking me forever to get things mailed right now, which is why I shut down the store I have and still have not gotten around to that last pen incentive. It will go out!
I have seen comics out there with 10+ ads (with additional paypal buttons). I have 4 ads. Sure, I could have 10 ads, but I really don’t want to. I just want to pay my bills and 4 is enough.
