The long and short of it
So as many of you might know, I recently applied for a graduate program out in Oregon. I was accepted! I'm going to be moving out there to get my M.Ed and a teaching license for high school Japanese. This has been something I've been wanting to do since I took Japanese in high school a kajillion years ago, and am finally getting to do. The program is 15-months full time, and when I've completed I might stay out in Oregon or I might move back to Minnesota, but I'll have reciprocity in practically every state. I'm very, very excited (and scared) but mostly just excited.
The issue right now is that at the moment, I can't actually afford to move across the country. There's the $1400 fee for breaking our rental lease early, the $600-odd dollars to fly the cat out, renting a trailer or hiring movers, gas prices, and I'm sure things that I've not even thought about yet. Dan's sure we'll come up with something somehow but he's always been more relaxed about money. Myself, I'm panicking. This is where you can come in.
If you have the means (and if you don't I understand!) please consider helping me save for my move! Here's what I've got for you:
For $5, I will write you 500-1000 words of fic. Any verse, any prompts. I'll write something fresh or add an installment of Slumber or Steampunk or any of my old ficathon pieces or really, whatever. Paypal can be sent to my email of willowmae [a.]t demented-faerie [d.0]t net, with prompt of your choice sent either to my email, left in a comment or PM.
For varying prices, you can also check out the selection of things available on my etsy shop. Prices range from $7.50 - $30.00 plus shipping. There are amigurumi dolls, totes, duck-tape purses, wire jewelry, and I've got other things like scarves and miniature gem trees that I haven't gotten pictures of yet. Part of my cleaning process for the move is finishing projects, so there will be many more pieces going up on etsy as I finish them.
If you can't afford to help but you know someone who might be interested in anything in my shop, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd pass my shop address on to them or help me promote my pieces in any way. I'm cross-posting this to everywhere I frequent, so my apologies if you see this multiple times! The move is happening end of May, so you may see me begging in the streets a few more times between now and then as things become more imminent.
