Not related to this: here’s a butterfly from the exhibit at Woodland Park Zoo.
Once again, we’re looking at numbers. This time for July!

Processing Fees: ($22.86)
Printing: ($272.97)
Conventions: ($5.20)
Donations: $37.71
Ad Revenue: $0.26

All Time: ($14,835.01)
As 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. (This does not apply to special content, which does not have a specific month associated with it.) 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 as best I can. Paypal has made it more difficult, so I’m not as capable of covering international fees.
Submissions
We were closed to submissions in July. All time acceptance rate remains at 45%.
