briefly saw a notification in my mentions about Trans Writes and truthfully the bottleneck is money. I know people would do work for free but the point was always to make sure trans people get paid for doing work. So that's not an option. But I am going to do more streaming & save up the pennies

ball park figures... but to take what we already have and remake it into something I can eventually commission people to help me expand is probably around the £10k mark. Writes currently has a bit over £2k. So it isn't completely unreachable via streaming over the course of a year.

I want to bring it back and slowly but surely expand it out in all the cool ways I've mentioned previously ie regular online game nights, stickers, tshirts and other stuff. But I want to do all of that stuff 'right' and not just quick cheap and easy. eg we make our own tshirts, not using a service.

I could bring it back and start doing those things tomorrow but it would defeat the point. We'd be giving up a lot of your money to said services rather than keeping it in the community and lifting us all up together. And that's just not what I want for Writes. It can be so much better than that.

So yeah. My greatest apologies for it taking so long. But unless some rich cis folk are about to drop upwards of ten grand in my lap or somehow I win a lottery I don't play, it's gonna be a long road towards where I want it all to be. rest assured, I think about it every day and I'm trying my best!
