The January Giraffe Call (and on LJ) has reached an unprecedented $241.31!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

This means we’ve reached the ask-the-characters Chat Session donation level!! (hrrm. Now I have to figure out how to do that! 🙂

It also means I get delicious cake (mm cake).

I’m writing like the wind, too, getting through prompts as quickly/reasonably as I can! We may have some backlog… O_O

The Giraffe Call is Still Open (and on LJ)! It will stay open until this evening.

Also, if you have prompted but only left one or two prompts, please feel free to leave a couple more! We’ve gotten to the incentive levels where everyone gets at least 3 prompts written to, whether or not they tipped!

At $211, we are just $29 from reaching the next incentive level, where I will hold a chat session with characters! (At this level, I’ll almost have paid off the carpet as well as the furnace bill!)

Claim your words! If you have donated to this call, or to any call, you can ask for $x100 words continuation on any story posted here!

Back to writing!

Guys, I’m really excited at how close we are to the $150 incentive level! I’m bouncing up and down – and, I confess, I’m kind of curious to see if we can make it to the $201 level as well (not in the least because of the furnace bill, but I want to see how I handle a second Giraffe Call in a month, too). 😉

As a reminder – if you donated to this call, or to any call, you can ask for ($x100) words of continuation on any story posted here. Several people from the December call have not yet claimed their words.

This is a summary, in total, of the November Giraffe Call. I have left to write the donor stories and one final prompt for lilfluff, but the prompts are done.

This month I received prompts from 17 people, one back-channel, and wrote 21 stories, as well as finishing last month’s call’s donation-incentive extra story.

I finished the linkback incentive story, although I had a very hard time keeping track of the linkbacks this time around, so in the end I just made it up. :-/

Still pondering themes for coming months!
