Hello dear readers! WN page 15, chapter 7 is now up. Enjoy!
In other new, today, January 11th, is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. There are currently 27 million enslaved people worldwide, more than double the number of enslaved Africans during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. UNICEF estimates that 1.2 million children every year are sold into slavery, most of it sexual. The US Department of Justice estimates 16,000 victims of human trafficking are brought into the United States every year. Unlike slavery in the 19th century, what is happening today is happening in secret. So it won't end until awareness is raised, and people like you and me take a stand.
So, Lora Innes, creator of The Dreamer, has gotten together the Comic Creator's Alliance--a group of over eighty comic book creators (both web and print) who volunteered our artistic talents to raise money and awareness for this cause. Each creator contributed an original drawing of one of our own female characters, and combined them into a single wallpaper image. Comics included are The Phoenix Requiem, Girls with Slingshots, Earthsong, Looking for Group, Shadowgirls, Marsh Rocket, The Uniques,Fallen Angel, The Dreamland Chronicles, The Dreamer, No Need For Bushido, White Noise, and many, many more! Check it out:
Donate today to download this unique, once-in-a-lifetime wallpaper. The Donations Drive will last for two weeks, from January 11th - 24th. All proceeds will be split evenly between Love146 and Gracehaven House- two organizations working on rehabilitation of victims and prevention of this crime.

I made sure to donate the minute the Twitter went up. Such a terrible thing. D:
Thank you for drawing for it!
Now I feel bad for being upset that I had no money to BUY things... I have nothing to donate. But I posted the link almost everywhere I could.
I love the whole idea for the picture. It's really great. Anna's socks are awesome, by the way. Sad they're covered.
I'm donatin'! Soon as I get the money into my paypal account, (which will be soon) I'll donate. Do we just follow the normal donate link from your page, or is there some other link we have to follow?
Will donate as soon as I have $$ to donate with... Might not be much, but I'll do what I can.
Also, have you guys considered hooking up with a company that does prints/posters, to offer a print or poster to higher donors?
I'll gladly donate! Where is this site? Do we just donate to you Snipes, and you forward a percentage to these guys, or do we have to go to their website to do it?
Oh, please don't donate to me! Follow the link to the website hosting this charity! Thanks for the support guys! You all have hearts of gold.^^
Ack, sorry, I didn't realize the links weren't working. They are now!
