Queer Eyes Needs Your Help!!!

As you all know I'm not Queer Eyes' webmistress anymore (and I don't follow fandom stuff since QaF ended) but I know some of you are still very much into it, so maybe there's someone out there willing to help...

The lovely mwil298 - which is the actual Queer Eyes' webmistress just sent me this email:

Hi Gio,
My server fees are due in 27 days and I don't have it to pay it. I'm out of work right now, was laid off. Right now I don't have grocery money let alone extra for anything else. I've put a donation button on the queer eyes site asking for help from everyone that loves the site to help cover the fees along with a list of how much is needed for however many months. I hate to ask for donations but I really don't want to lose all my work and all of your work because if it gets closed then everything will be deleted. Could you possibly help spread the word about the situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, I did spread the word... if there's someone willing to help keeping the website alive, please contact mwil298!

Thank you soooo much and happy holidays! ♥


Can you help? This is an archive that we cannot afford to lose! This is where a lot of us got our first icons, mood theme, and the best fics in fandom. Some of these authors can't be found elsewhere. Any help I'm sure would be appreciated!

ETA: Wow, you guys are amazing! Thanks to those who have donated so far, and those who linked to this from their journals. Let's make sure Queer Eyes is around for a long time!

ETA2 The lovely webmistress, Misty, has left a lovely message in the comments here. Thanks again to all of you that contributed, you are made of awesome!!

well, also lost my job last month and just got a new one, so no payment yet, but I sent 5 bucks. not much, but I can't afford more at the moment.
but if a few other ppl would send 5, too - then the site will be safe for another 3 month.
and as soon as I get my salary, I can donate more.

Queer Eyes was the first source I found and used when I discovered QAF, it would be a big loss if it wasn't online anymore. I sent enough money to cover 3 months, but I hope more people will help so we can keep it up for a longer time.

I knocked in ten.

Can you tell me how I can donate? Thank you!

[teatotaller.livejournal.com]

I made a donation. I hope they can get enough pooled together to cover three years. That would take a lot of pressure off the mod and let me know that I can always go get my myrna fix.

Chipped in with $5. :)

[josieb1.livejournal.com]

I chipped in with $15.00. Not too bad with the UK rate as its just under £10.00 (in case anyone else from the UK wants to donate)

I put in 5$, it's really all I can afford at the moment but it's a great site and I really wanted to help. Would you mind if I posted this on my journal?

[eva213.livejournal.com]

I sent $5. I agree with manueladb - it would be a big loss, esp. after what happened to BJfic.net.

I love this site for browsing for fics and there are so many classics, and also appreciate your maintaining it. I also know how it feels to be unemployed...been there done that. I hope my twenty helps. Sending you positive fibes that you find work soon. SHirls

Please write to me off line.
Thanks.

I donated enough for one year..... all for the love of B/J, an anonymous benefactor

[simplystars.livejournal.com]

Donation sent. :)

[denvercatmom.livejournal.com]

I donated. We can't afford to lose any more sites.

[(Anonymous)]

donated for six months. at this point, the site would be running for a while. We can't loose those really good fics.

Donated $5

mwil298, thanks a lot for working so hard to keep Queer Eyes'.
It's a great site, I love it.

Good luck to you in finding a new job.

Best wishes,

Donation

I also donated enough for a 3 month extension. I hope that the site continues for a long long time.

Cheers!

What a great group of folks we have here, and I'm happy to be added to the list of people that have donated to the site.

Queer Eyes is one of my favorite sites, it actually was one of the first fic sites I found last year while discovered all things QAF and what a treasure trove of outstanding fic it has proven to be.

[paddies.livejournal.com]

Hey there,

I just wanted to add my "thank you" to everyone who donated (or just wished they could *g*)...

Even tho I'm not directly in charge of Queer Eyes anymore, that website is still "my baby", I poured all my passion, love and time into it and it makes me incredibly happy to see that people still enjoy it after all these years. :-)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

*loves*

I also donated $25 just today - what an incredible response! Great to know, as a new member to the fandom, that this site will be around for a long time.

It was a pleasure to donate 6 months for one of the first sites of qaff ics where I landed to read so many beautiful things! :)
