Do I have to do more math?

No. You never have to math for me, deb. I completely trust you, and if you had needed the money, I'd have just sent it to you, anyhow.

eta...

Deb, it's totally an issue I have, where I'm terrified of being accused of wrongdoing.

I can see you doing that for a fandom project (First Book, for Marti, a save-our-show campaign). In my eyes though (deb, this goes for the erika gift), this was friends pitching in to give a present to another friend (a present from which we'd benefit). Different vibe.

This isn't something you need to do, deb, i mean, it wouldn't occur to me that you would take what wasnt yours.

It's just a way for me to make sure I didn't make an error, or worse, in case anyone ever accuses me, I have proof that I didn't hurt anyone.

My perspective is that I chipped in a little bit to help the group achieve a couple of very cool things. Said v. cool things happened, therefore it's all good. No additional math required on my account.

No slight intended to those who like or need such things, whether accounter or accountee.

It sounds cliche, but I just love all the love, and the stories, and the working together. Watching Nillyfest from afar has been a great experience. Not as good as taking part, but close. I would also like to thank JZ and the others who worked on the Nillyfest t-shirt. It's a beautiful shirt, and she was great about including non-attendees.

It's come to my attention that I have been a dick in taking some undeserved accolades and also in not sending out the anonymous accounting by now.

Okay, this is like pig-pile country again, but I have to add my two cents (no, probably don't have to, but I feel like I have to.)

Allyson, we wouldn't have Minearverse if it weren't for you. We wouldn't have Tim if it weren't for you. The conversation in Minearverse wouldn't have happened without you. Nilly wouldn't be here without you. Whether someone else could or could not do it, you did do it. I, along with many other people, gave a little so Erika could meet Nilly, people gave to get me to SF to meet Nilly, people gave to you to bring Nilly here. We were all given an amazing gift, but you've consistently pointed out others who were helpful in making it happen. I'd not only trust you with my money, I'd trust you with my children (though, really, you don't want them).

We wouldn't have Tim if it weren't for you.

And some guy, right?

Nilly wouldn't be here without you.

Hey, is there a Big Story about how Nilly found the Buffistas (or the proto-Buffistas, as it were), or did she just stumble across the board?

And some guy, right?

So I hear.

Allyson rocks. So does Tim Minear. And his mother. And Nilly. And various and sundry other buffistas who are too numerous to name at this time.

Credit for the world having Tim Minear goes to his parents. According to rumors, and it seems likely to me that they are true, the credit for us having Tim Minear goes to Allyson, and to Tim Minear himself. Thanks!
