Is there a reason why we haven't made an announcement on the DeviantArt Dokuga page to remind about donations?
Oh, prolly a couple, LOL!
1. The Wiccie forgot she had a DevArt page!
2. I don't have anything to do with the Dokuga page over there & don't know who does?
*sigh*
Right now we're dealing with a power outage... running on generator & worrying that my 'puter might take a hit if things fluctuate too much. I will TRY to remember to get back to this when the power comes back on.

Hey this is the first year I donated though I love reading here all the stories and art are amazing! I could only donate 150, hopefully it helps, I would hate to see this site disappear.

Thank you, Christine, SO VERY MUCH!! Your generosity is truly wonderful and I'm sure we're ALL grateful for the support! Hopefully, with supporters like you and the others who have so generously shared their funds, Dokuga will be here for years to come!

A Patreon is not a bad idea. As a person who subscribes to a couple of people I have to say I love the it auto comes out of my account and I don't have think about it. I have never used paypal, do I need to make an account? Is there a way to automate donations, like $10/ mo ?
Yet another wonderful suggestion! I will make a note to look into Patreon as soon as my power comes back on. Right now, I'm trying to answer queries and emails while on a generator & I'm kinda worried about the power fluctuating, lol.
To donate via PayPal, they SAY you don't need an account, but I'm betting you have to give them a bunch of info anyway. If you like, you can wait until such time as I've been able to research all the options I've had suggested & maybe we'll have a Patreon for you then!
Still, thank you so much for your desire to support the site, I'm so very grateful!!

Okay, folks!! At this point in my day, before I shut down my 'puter to keep it safe from the evol power flux, I want to take a minute to acknowledge the MANY people who have donated anonymously.
We have had donations from all over the WORLD, from every corner of the USA, from our die-hard members who always give to our new members who just discovered our site. The outpouring of affection and desire to keep Dokuga online cannot be overstated here... you are ALL ROCK STARS,'k?
THANK YOU to those who've donated, to those who've come up with suggestions for alternative fundraising sites, to those who've just expressed their love for the site and hope that we stay alive. We are truly a beautiful INTERNATIONAL community, and I love what we have going.
Hope all have a TERRIFIC day/night, wherever you are, and I'll try to update with the funding results tonight!
<3

Ah, I see. That would make sense then. I'm not sure who owns the group either.

My dear, beloved authoress... no worries. We're just glad that you've entrusted us with so many of your terrific stories that we can share with so many others. Deepest condolences for the hard times, and most heartfelt hopes for healing and peace in the future!
Thank you so much for your generous donation... because of you and many like you, Dokuga will continue for some time yet!! I will update this weekend with some numbers and let you all know how wonderfully everyone has come through for this site.

Thank you so much for your generous contribution! I'm afraid that things got a little hectic for me this weekend, but I still hope to have an accounting to send everyone to let you know how far we've come in our fundraising soon!!

Just wanted you to know that PayPal put my donation for Dokuga back in my account. They said the email I sent it to didn’t have an account. Please let me know if there is another one that I can use.

I'd be interested in seeing an update on where Dokuga is at and if there would be access to a Patreon in the future. This site has been amazing to me since I became a member so many years ago. I want to keep it alive and know where I can make donations to through paypal.
Thank you!

I would really like to encourage the staff to set up a Patreon account. It makes it a lot easier for people to donate and donate on a recurring basis. Sometimes, people like me don't remember to donate, but would love to do so frequently.
However, the downside of Patreon is their fees, but I don't think they're crazy high.
Give it a thought, until then I'll just keep sending over the amounts I can afford each time I remember.
