Dear SM Readers,<\/div>\n\n

It is time once again for us bloggers at Sepia Mutiny to extend our empty cups and ask for donations to keep this website running. Remember, every time you visit our site it costs us<\/strong> money. We don’t bother you guys with any money-making ads on this site, nor do we sell out to the man<\/em> and write what he<\/em> asks us to write for cold cash (I drive a Honda Accord with 120,000 miles on it). We blog only the truth from our bunker headquarters in North Dakota, shunning the high life.<\/p>\n\n

Much like NPR and PBS hold an annual pledge drive, we are asking you to donate whatever you can via our Paypal link. Keep in mind that we haven’t asked for any donations in 2 years<\/a>! If you don’t want to use Paypal but would rather mail in a check, then contact us<\/a> for a mailing address. Donations will keep our website ad-free and crap-free. Our administrator extraordinaire Chaitan, will soon put up a thermometer on the sidebar showing our progress in raising funds. It will disappear once we have met our goal for continuing service. If enough of you give just a few dollars we might be able to meet our goal in under a week like we have in the past. As an added<\/strong> measure (since it is only a trickle in terms of revenue) you can also take Amardeep’s recommendation from earlier today<\/a> and help us out by buying South Asian literature (or electronics or DVDs, etc.) via our Amazon Affiliate link (we’ll soon put up a permanent widget). It will give us a nominal commission.<\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n\n

<\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font>Whether you love this site (all you wonderful commenters and lurkers who use us as a time sink) or hate us (you fundamentalists who send us unintentionally humorous death threats) I’m sure you’d like to see us blog on!<\/p>\n\n

Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n\n
