Here we are selling books at Foolscap a couple weeks ago. We also talked about our Kickstarter.
We are in the midst of running our latest Kickstarter. (Have I mentioned we have a Kickstarter? Because we have a Kickstarter. You can click this link to see the Kickstarter.)
Most of January was spent getting ready for the Kickstarter, but also reading through slush from December and paying for stories.
The Money Aspect
Amounts in parentheses are losses/expenses.
Hosting: ($17.06)

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.
Submissions
We were closed to submissions in January. All time acceptance rate is 44.2%.
