Quentin Long here with some bad news... and how *you* can help to
make that bad news go away.
You'll recall that when I announced the uploading of ANTHRO #13, I
mentioned that I was in danger of going homeless, *real* soon. The
support this brought was welcome... but it just isn't enough. And
here's how bad things are now:

I need USD $500 in the next five days, or I *will* be homeless.

The people who have *already* donated and bought advertisements,
they've done their part... but there's only, like, 20 of them. 20...
out of a grand total of about *ten* *bleeding* *THOUSAND* people who
read and enjoy every issue of ANTHRO.
So here I am again, exhorting furdom-at-large to open your wallets
on my behalf, so that *I* can continue to do something which has been
a distinct asset to *you*. I'm not exactly enthused to be going all
"PBS pledge night" on y'all, but if it works, it works, okay? So
here's the deal...

ANTHRO on PDA!
I've reformatted ANTHRO #1 so that it'll fit nicely on a 240-pixel-
wide screen -- which means it will work nicely on Palm Pilots or
Blackberrys or whatever other PDA you might happen to have. Cross my
palm with $2.99 in good USA silver, and it's yours!

Art commissions!
Would you like me (Quentin Long, aka Cubist) to do a portrait of
your character? I will -- for a mere USD $15. Or USD $10, if you want
a con badge. I won't do spooge, but beyond that, pretty much anything
goes.

Send me an email containing a description of what you'd like me to
draw -- the address is cub...@aol.com -- and PayPal the money to me,
and you're good to go.

And leave us not forget all the other options:

Donate or subscribe:
http://anthrozine.com/site/support.html

Buy copies of ANTHROlogy ONE and/or THE HUMAN MEMOIRS and/or the
FREEDOM CITY typeface:

Buy ANTHRO ad space in arbitrarily small chunks:

Buy furry fiction (with ANTHRO getting a small cut of the purchase
price):

Buy T-shirts, posters, and other things with ANTHRO art on them:

Check out a wide range of furry-type goods selected from Amazon.com's
vast inventory:
http://astore.amazon.com/anthrozine-20

Buy other art-type things I've created (not necessarily furry, but
still good):

USD $500 in five days. If furdom-at-large can inject $2,000,000
into the Pittsburgh economy via Anthrocon, is $500 in five days
*really* too much to ask?

um... Honestly never heard of you or your publication. Which means
nothing as I have exceptionally little contact with the 'furry'
community. Truly wish I could help you, but we are in little better
condition than you due to unexpected medical bills. Basically, I'm
barely able to walk anymore.

Best of luck to you.

Correction on that URL, which I apparently failed to copy-and-paste
properly:

What format is it IN, though? Plain text? Doc? .prc?


(BTW - get my email? If you need a place to park Anthro for awhile,
I've got plenty of space.)

Good old generic HTML -- I certainly *hope* every PDA out there can
handle *that*!

I did get your message, and fortunately, I don't need to accept
your kind offer. Okay, that sounds weird, but you know what I mean...
Anywho, thank you!

Somehow I get the feeling that a lot of us are in similiar circumstances.
The next few years are going to be interesting, and not in a good way.

Ditto, and I'm off to do more packing myself.
