Not necessarily. In truth, it's actually quite beneficial for me to do the badges. I spent four years of my life at art college, but due to the crappy work situation over here/tough industry, I've not done anything with it. I enjoy doing the badges and it helps me keep up with my creative side. Besides, while I do also do a lot of other things for the site, I do go through phases with anime where I don't watch so much, and I've had a rather lengthy slump recently, which is why I haven't reviewed anything for a while or done any entries, so it's nice to have a variety of things to do.

As it is, I can juggle everything I do on here, just look at my December... in the first 24 days of the month I not only created the set of Christmas badges from scratch, but I also added synopses for 47 manga entries, blogged about those manga entries AND did a series fo 12 Days of Christmas blog posts. Even if there were a team working on the badges, it wouldn't guarantee that I'd spent that extra time working on other bits for the site (frankly, if I hadn't been doing the valentines/birthday badges, I'd have been on Skyrim XD).

sounds to me like cassie simply desires a monopoly on the designing badges business jk

Alright. The badges are done well, cassie is happy, sothis is satisfied, so I have no complaints. : )

BTW: cassie, make character badges at some time in the future. I'd totally buy them and give to friends - OR, keep them all to myself. =P

Character badges are unlikely due to copyright issues, particularly if they were donation related ones they'd be in seriously iffy/dangerous territory.

I don't seem to be able to donate : <

I get "Sorry, the action you were trying to do was not accomplished, please try again later".

I've tried for a few days now : ( Me very sad & forever alone.
I want badges : 3

I'm not sure what would be causing that error - are you using the paypal link? What step does it do that at? If it's anything on paypal, you might want to check with them on the error (as I'm not sure ;_;)

[Crimm]

Well I donated and forgot about this.

I'll sit in the corner now :P

Have these badges been given out? Because I donated last month and nothing has happened so far. I don't mean to rush anyone, I just want to make sure that I wasn't left out for some reason.

[Funari]

^ what he said for the most part. I don't mind waiting, but having no idea if my donation got into its destination at all is fairly unpleasant.

[sothis]

sorry guys, i'm really behind on adding donations :( i've been trying to get my machine fixed so i can work on AP features easier and it's taken the last few weeks, i think i've almsot gotten it finished and then will get all remaining donations inputted

[LLORAtheLLAMA]

I don't mean to rush, I just want to check on the badge situation~ Do you have a record of donations so that when the time comes the badges go to the right place? (I just don't want my gift badge for my friend to get forever lost )
