Dear fellow writers and readers of Authors Den,
I regret and feel quite badly that my idea for a Writers Fund to assist those who fall on hard times has come to a standstill.
To all you people who responded, and I do want to thank you for your kind offers, but the numbers were just too few to make the project feasible..
I had hoped for some support from AD in this matter at least in the collecting of the donations etc but was informed this was not forth coming as they do accept full payments on behalf of authors wishing to be sponsors of less fortunate writers.
I do not feel like I am dropping the ball on this though…more laying it down in the hopes that someone with more knowledge and energy will perhaps pick it up some day and run with it all new…who knows it may even be one of you reading this.
So once again thanks to all who responded in such a positive manner…you know who you are and I remain as always…
Fee
My prayers are with you! I will try and give in a few weeks
Can't do anything right now! :(
for this much needed program!
Sounds like an awesome attempt! Don't give up! It's out in the Universe NOW! :)
Warmest Blessings, Love and Light, Warrior Purple Lady Sweet Sheooxoo
STay Positive!
I hope this won't fall on deaf ears. I don't know where you are on your program, but I'd like to be the third one in line. I'd match George's and Walt's offer to sponsor four bronze memberships, if this is still acute.

Blessed Be ! ! !
I know you got big shoulders mate, but they arent that big ok. You did something that others never thought to, and for that we all love yah....I am not sure who you approached or the actual outcome, but I can see it wasnt positive, which is sad. I can only stick to the bronzed Aussie membership, unless I get rich in the forseeable future, but I feel for those who can't even make a bronze. AND I Gotta pay double downunder with the OZ dollar not worth a thimble full of goat manure, agin the greenback, Whoa!
Don't give up, and I implore y'all to do same. Admin has got to cover costs no doubt about that, even though it seems pretty whiffy, perhaps if we formulated a hardship criteria and petitioned management, may be worth a shot.
We would want to stipulate that we don't expect handouts if our means are such that we can afford, but if we do fit a certain criteria, like most things in life, their should be some sort of exemptions.
My Two bucks worth anyhow.
Stay well, don't fret

Isn't fair, is it. You did the best you could, and we poorer writers appreciate your generous spirit. Maybe one day...we can only hope.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful compassionate self. I love you all the more for it!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
Thanks anyway Fee. Your heart keeps growing. With love,
Susan
