Galactic Hitchhikers Slouch Fund 2023

I was going to skip the fundraiser this year...

Our homepage, Galactic Hitchhikers , is currently being rebuilt on a new platform that will add a ton of really hoopy features. More on all that later, but the new site is far from ready. I am dedicated to relaunching only when 100% can be moved over to the new platform. Because of formatting differences between platforms this has to be done blog by blog, page by page. Even as it is a labor of love, it is time consuming and I have more than a full time job to attend to already.

To preserve the history we share on the site, I paid for another year out of pocket. I sincerely despise having to do these fundraisers every year. I am always absolutely flabbergasted by the generosity of our community, but having to beg always sets me off from the normal pretending I am not as broke as I am that I tend to enjoy. I was going to just throw it on my PayPal credit and let T-Shirt and sticker sales take care of the bill, as t-shirt and sticker sales are intended to. Six months no interest on PayPal credit, after all, but then Rebubble changed the way they pay out artists.

With new tiers and tier fees I will not likely be getting paid out every month with the modest sales I make. It got harder to hit the minimum pay threshold before new tier fees, and less possible to pay off the site bill before interest charges hit.

So once again, I am reaching out to all of you froods. Can ya spare a few bucks?

Anyone donating this year will be invited to our forthcoming research and development group for the new site, and will get exclusive details on the progress, as well as sneak peaks. You’ll also be invited to receive the “Hoopy Frood” community role tag in our Facebook group.
