Editor-in-Chief, Jodi Lee has posted this as a way to raise funds to keep her excellent e-zine going and I encourage all of you to give a hand if you can. I'm not just asking because I'm a contributing editor but because there are some really good small town horror stories on this site and there just isn't enough of that around. Plus I want to see her hair turned all sorts of funky colors.

Jodi Lee's Post on MySpace:
So, as per my agreement with TNBP's financial backer, we've reached the mid-way point (actually, we've skidded past that and on into three-quarters) of the year. Unfortunately, ad sales were down, which put our agreement into a bit of a spin, and while the remainder of this year is covered (as well as the contest, really) after that, we're in limbo.
Fortunately, he's extended a further offer, so here we go on a fundraising drive! If we raise enough to cover TNBPs costs for one year - including the contest costs, the backer will match it, dollar for dollar, giving us a further two years of production. If things go really well with the fundraising - we can raise the per word scale for Volume 2.
For every increment listed below, I'll dye a streak/chunk of my hair some funky color. Each increment is one color, one streak. Craziest thing about this is I'm letting you all choose the colors! Visit the
New Bedlam Cafe forum and vote. You don't need to register, guests can vote as well.
$250 - 1 color, 1 streak
$500 - 2 colors, 2 streaks
etc.etc.
Now, there are several ways that you can support The New Bedlam Project. One is the obvious choice - donations. Second, buying some nifty TNBP swag. Three - promote yourself and buy ad space! Click the banner above, and surf on through to the website where you'll find details on swag, support and advertising space.
PS - please avoid the pink choice. Please?
