Reminder: The current DGC fundraising goal is for $250 by May 15th, when the current plot arc will end. If you’ve never put into the tip jar, or haven’t in a while, now’s the time! The more money is in the kitty, the more hours I can devote to writing new material. Remember with each donation this month, you can vote for which secondary character you’d like to see a bonus story from, as well. Remo, Bart, Ziggy, Chris, Carynne, Jonathan, or even Digger?
