My first crowdfunding/donations offer

My paid dreamwidth account expired a couple days ago, which is rather a sad thing. There are obviously much worse things in the world. However, since I have limited mobility, dreamwidth is a wonderful place for me to socialize with folks and having a network page and more icons to express myself means a lot. I am trying to be fiscally sound and I thought, "Hey - I could totally crowdfund for dreamwidth points!"

So here's the deal. Any amount of dreamwidth points is gratefully accepted, particularly if you just want to make it an early holiday/birthday gift or whatever and opt out of the rewards below. If not, here's...

The system:

For any amount of dreamwidth points: You get my eternal gratitude
For 15 dreamwidth points: I will send you a cute animal picture from the internet; you may request the kind of animal
For 30 dreamwidth points: You get a choice of an icon made by me (probably from an online photo I find or a photo I have taken, totally open to fannish icons) or a short (5-10 line) poem on the topic of your choice, given that I have some creative license.
For 60 dreamwidth points: You get a cute animal photo and either a poem or an icon (see above for description)
For 100 dreamwidth points or more: You get a cute animal photo, a poem, and an icon or if you are comfortable giving people on the internet your address, send me a PM and I will send you a fun snail-mail letter of appreciation. (I promise I am not a stalker)

I will try to have these to you within a timely fashion, but given that I have chronic health problems and I don't know how many items I will be creating, there may be a delay. My goal is to have them out within a month, but by Halloween at the very latest.

Once you donate dreamwidth points, please either comment below with what you would like (if there is a choice) or send me a PM or email to lizcommotion (at) gmail (dot) com.

Signal boosts also appreciated. ^_^

ETA: So, you folks are amazing, and I've gotten a year of paid Dreamwidth time! Um, wow. That was kind of incredible. If anyone feels the overwhelming urge to make more donations, I will channel them towards paid account time for bitesizedcleaning (which I co-mod) so that we can have polls and things. Same reward system (above) applies.

Crowdfunding update & Anonymous donors

Wow, that was amazing! I got a year's worth of dreamwidth points in a matter of hours. Everyone rocks! Officially.

I got several donations from anonymous donors, and in gratitude I'm going to pay it forward by posting some poetry I've written recently and possibly also posting some icon backgrounds for anyone to snag. (Note: I may be using them as icons myself as well.) I'll start with this poem here....I hope no one is opposed to Buddhist themes. ;)

Mindful Origami

crane
folded
pause, inhale
paper symbol
origami peace
an exhale for each crease
from my lungs to trees' new leaves
with one mindful act, a sapling
inhales into a forest, exhales
into paper, a crane, rebirth, no self.
