>> I may be judging him against L-American standards.<<

I try to consider a range of cultures.

* L-American: people would consider him a kook, but his rude behavior wouldn't raise any eyebrows.

* T-American: standards of social skills are higher in most areas. This is one reason he hangs out in bohemia so much: they're mellow and don't care.

* Louisiana (both): tighter family ties than many other areas, so the tension there hurts him a lot more than he lets on.

>> Basically, I like that he didn't hurt anybody (well, aside from the magical hangover) and was trying to be mindful of other's needs. <<

True. Ti-Jean is clumsy and damaged, not nasty.

Non-cash support methods

Anything you have read, or just really want to see, you can lobby for during a sale. Sometimes it sways the donors. Also, if I know people like a given character, series, etc. then I'm more likely to write more of it. Of course you can prompt for it too.

You can make any size of donation (preferably about $2 up because PayPal takes a cut) toward open epics. Any time there's a pool going during a fishbowl or half-price sale, you can donate any amount there too. I understand that not everyone has enough for the epics.

Coming in December! The Holiday Poetry Sale typically has items from $2.50 (the original $5 poems) on up. If you get holiday money or people ask you what you want, this is a good opportunity.
