As per usual, I try to list costs for art and stories under the month that the stories run on the site rather than when I pay them. Sales are for sales when they take place, not when it’s actually paid out to me. I also cover Paypal expenses when paying authors and artists.
This was mostly a typical month. The spike in art costs comes from payment for the “Postcards from the End” reward in our Kickstarter as well as the cover for our Summer 2015 quarterly.
