I'm not sure if I'm going to move it over, or if I'm going to give it it's own domain. It's a little expensive, but it wouldn't be for several months, until I can determine whether or not Sanctuary is going to work out. I'm actually taking a break from writing the Help Wanted page. After that, I'm going to work on the letter you suggested earlier, the one to be forwarded. If the organization takes off, I'll either have to start charging dues, or I may put an Amazon Paybox up to take donations to pay for the domain, the server space, and the other things I eventually wanted Sanctuary to do, like donating books to students and give small grants to genre writers ~ I can see so much happening with this group! I'm also planning on a newsletter, possibly a printed magazine, the fan con's ~ none of which will be for profit, but will be put towards the organization. If it gets to these places, though, I'd probably start taking a salary and hiring a staff. Even if it got to that point though, it will always be a not-for-profit, and always with an eye on the prize ~~ legitimacy and recognition for genre entertainment. I know there are many other more worthwhile causes, but we need escape and entertainment as well as all the serious issues facing us all in life. Wow, I should probably use some of this in the forward letter. :)
