The Cleolinda Industries tip jar

We (and by "we" I mean "me") at Cleolinda Industries bring you a variety of goods and services, including movie news linkspam, TV and book recaps, award show liveblogs, Movies in Fifteen Minutes, The Secret Life of Dolls, and an embarrassment of sparklepire-related content. (You can also get The Annotated Movies in Fifteen Minutes: Wizards e-book at Lulu; there is a published Movies in Fifteen Minutes out there, but it's somewhat rare now.)

~*AND NOW*~ there is also a tip jar. This is it.

~*~ omg ~*~ look ~* it's right here*~ 
what? I just thought the button looked kind of lonely by itself

~*tap dance*~ omg ~*sparkle*~

You can also shop at Amazon and Entertainment Earth through my affiliate ID. In particular, I get store credit at Entertainment Earth, which I'm going to use towards Secret Life of Dolls. The Amazon Honor System (donation function) is no more, however. If anyone knows of another donation method they'd prefer, let me know.

What I decided to do...

... is a combination of options I mentioned in the previous entry, having weighed various considerations and y'all's feedback, etc. What I'm going to try is this:

1) Continue posting things, like the suggested Varney commentary, in smaller increments, and for free. That way, everyone gets to read it, and I continue to benefit from any incoming traffic I get from people recommending things to others. If this turns out to not be the best idea, I can always switch to a pay-only model.

2) When we've got a good bit of content accumulated--like, say, Volume 1 of Varney--I'll put it up as an e-book/bound book to buy at Lulu, if anyone wants that. Kind of like a trade paperback in comics. I may do that for a couple of other things as well; people said they wanted to buy hard copies of the Twilight entries.

3) I'm trying to revive the Cafe Press store; we're working on some designs. One of the things I used to do was put up a number of little things--stickers, magnets--so I would get the markup but you could afford a larger variety of designs. I feel kind of weird to think that "Cleolinda Industries" is getting to be less and less of an offhand joke, but... I don't know. Most people probably think I'm crazy for not doing this sooner.

And finally: it only took me seven years to do it, but voila: a tip jar.

So. Um. Here is a magical dollhouse. Thank you for your time.

Oh! I nearly forgot. Tonner just got the Marvel license. This should be interesting.
