Locus Magazine, which is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit, has been doing some fundraisers in order to keep itself running along, and asked me if there was something I could to to help. I said sure: If their current fundraiser (which is at this very moment at $59.5k) reaches $75,000, I’ll write a short story for everyone who contributes to the fundraiser. What will it be about? Got me! But it’ll be original, never-before-published, at least 2,000 words, and for a year at least, exclusive to the fundraiser supporters. I’ll write it this summer (I have a couple of deadlines before then), and then out it will go into the folks who have supported Locus.
So: Wanna make me write a new short story? This is how to do it. Here’s the link to contribute to the fundraiser. There are three days left as of this writing, so don’t delay, get on it soon. I know you want to make me dance like a monkey! Do it!
