[…] We rely mainly on reader donations, although two-thirds of our budget is still coming from a very small number of private donors. […]

Wow, that sounds totally sinister.

How does one acquire shadowy millionaire patrons, anyways? (Without, you know, opening Gates of Evil or becoming a satanic sacrifice or whatever?) ;)

Regards,
Mike.

Well, satanic sacrifices for the purpose of obtaining development funds aren’t entirely out of the question. We could add an extra line in our contracts, under Terms of Agreement, that gives The Harrow first world-wide rights to barter the Author’s soul. Would that still be binding if an author “e-signs,” Kfir, or is blood absolutely necessary?

I’m afraid that blood must be involved.
