Is terrible for artists.
Now that I've tricked you poor bastards into reading this journal, please support PACT. It's an amazing project that is being severely underfunded. The head of Illuxcon recently posted a rant on the subject. This is sad for two reasons, one because he felt the need to rant in the first place, and two because his rant has forestalled whatever vile and obscene (and highly entertaining) rant that Jim had brewing in his head.
"To date, PACT has raised barely $10,000 of their $45,000 goal. Let’s put this in perspective; the Art of Brom kickstarter raised over $235,000 for a single art book. (Albeit, of course, an awesome one.) Hell, a Kickstarter project to put a miniature Tardis into orbit has raised over $88,000. So one must acknowledge the fact that a project with thousands of potentially professionally interested parties has raised barely ten grand is pretty damned sad."

And once you've done that, go support it.

The $29 a year membership fee will put off quite a few people in itself. It's also fairly specific to professional artists for any real benefit, which further narrows the field of those willing to invest since they'll have to endlessly invest in it.

OP
$29 a year is less than ASFA or GAG memberships, and will pay for itself the first time you look up that new company that sent you a work for hire contract and find out that they routinely ask for 5 hours of revisions on a finished piece. There are a lot of people in the fandom who want to be professionally published who would benefit from PACT.
