I'm up to 20,344 words written for the Write-a-Thon, meaning that I'm two-thirds of the way to my goalof 30,000. Please consider contributing; if you do, you may force me to draw more comics, and you could win stuff. (If you contribute and wish to enter the weekly draw and the draw at the end of the Write-a-Thon, do be sure to contact me at kmaaren(at)gmail(dot)com and tell me so; otherwise, your name will not go into the hat.)

You know, sometimes I think halfyou guys really want that $6.66 in there, while the other half really want it gone. The two halves are engaged in an epic battle that will inevtably end only when every participant lies dead on the ground. It's sort of a charitable-contributions take on the final battle of the Arthurian legend, or possibly a replication of the whole of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
