That's a really nice number to wake up to! It means we reached our stretch goal and then some, so we'll be bringing you some longer stories next year.

A huge round of thank-yous to everyone who donated, everyone who tweeted, blogged, or otherwise promoted the fund drive, and to the contributors who let us use their material in our fund drive issue (read the whole thing here, if you haven't). This is one of our biggest fund drives ever, and I think it definitely has the most donors ever -- well over 500. It feels amazing to know we can do that as we head into our fifteenth year of publication.

Thank you!

(We'll be doing the prize draw over the next couple of weeks -- so keep an eye on your emails.)
