Mild depression but plenty of hope.

Well, that wonderful RAM I put into my machine? Seems to have gone bad after a scant few weeks. I have to call a repair person in and get the Mac checked out thoroughly, serviced, cleaned, and then have the RAM checked on and replaced if necessary...which means of course, lots of money. Which I have very little of. SO...I am offering up CD's of all the artwork, and prints, and anything else I can sell, really, to help generate some much needed computer fundage. But I also wonder...should I just ask in here, or should I bother with an official Kickstarter, since I also want to get that webcomic/print comic of Nynaeve and mine up and running as well, which I can't do without a machine...so...the question remains...how best to solicit donations?
Already figured out some of the low-tier rewards in case of kickstarter...them there CDs and art prints. >.> Where to go from here? Don't know if IRL will allow me to complete actual commissions for the kickstarter...although I am considering a limited number of those...the real ticket, for a large donation, is gonna be an 18x24" full oil painting. Yep. PAINITNG. OIL. on Canvas. Delivered either to a con the donator and Nynaeve can meet up at, a place in California you can meet up at or shipped CAREFULLY at our expense...But that's all still in the planning stages. SO much to do. Off to bed! Gonna get some sleep as tomorrow is repair day. Wish us luck! We're gonna need it...

I wish you the best of luck, sweetie!

OP
Well the final cost of the servicing and repair was $250 or so. Minus the refund from the faulty chipset and it's down to $150...So I think I lucked out there. I need a better back up though, or a new computer to act as the main and this one as a backup. I am currently working on "reward tiers" for a kickstater-esque project. Definitely think the high end is gonna be painting, and the lower end gonna be prints and CD packages. Going to spend this weekend talking with Nynaeve and hashing it out.
