i am mailing you a letter! i'm sending some out this week (sup zeyik and ftward). giving y'all a heads up in case you're like "i don't know a mimi hoshut in dallas gtfo with this spam bullshit" and toss the envelope without opening it. i mean, you can still do that, you don't have to open it and look at my crummy drawings. also if your address has changed since you donated and you would like a letter, please give me a heads up here or email me: mimihoshut at gmail dot com. i'm including my return address if you would like to mail me your crummy drawings in response, but please don't send letterbombs it would be very cruel for all the innocent bystanders who live in my building (one of whom owns a very cute little corgi). |

If it's not too delicate a subject, how's the podcast operating cost burden these days? Just in broad terms, e.g. "about right for a hobby", "quiet martyrdom", "so light that I feel compelled to spend excess wealth on postage", etc etc. |

You seem a little manic... haha, i'm fine. i just found this personalized stationary i received for christmas and decided it would be a good time to stop being awful and send out thank you notes to listeners. and then i remembered how fun the isketch nights were, so i thought it'd be cool to set that up again. i'm pretty sure that getting fired would not result in my renewed devotion to the podcast community, but rather my slow and inevitable suicide via fried chicken. |

If we donate now can we still get a letter? |

I just donated - just in case cause I couldn't remember what address was on the original donation and well this is a cause I totally back. (plus I'm really hoping the whole taptalk snafu gets sorted :P ) |

You should mention the donate button on the podcast more often. I rarely go to the actual podcast home page, just the forums usually so I never really saw it there. I just donated (not just to get a letter). Also I'd be happy to send you all books as well if you'd be open to that, but for now I'm happy just sending something through Paypal. |

I think that guy might have one up on you Thomas. I think he was a fan of Stannis Baratheon before it was cool. Look at his chest tattoo. |

Thanx so much (tapatalk) and as for donating, even without the letters us fans just want to show how much we appreciate what you do in keeping the forums running. :) Maybe we can sneak in a mention on one of the VoK podcasts ;) |

I understand but you shouldn't be afraid to ask for support from the community that gets a lot out of what you all do. Even if Itunes or other platforms don't charge to listen there are still expenses. There are podcasts with millions of listeners that ask for donations every single episode, so I wouldn't be offended if you just drop a note in once in a while letting the listeners know there's an option. |

This guy is just scary. Is that really the flaming heart stag on his chest? FTWard wrote: Just to prove linecom1 right. I finally remembered to make the APOIAF amazon referral as my bookmark for amazon so that whenever I go to the site it will be through the referral link. Prepare for that diaper money to be rolling in!

If official benefactors receive hand drawn art on custom stationary, what do plebeian requests warrant? If one were interested in receiving inverse fan mail would they just pm you their address and say "yes, please"? |

Thanks Mimi. It was insanely sweet of you. Hung it on our fridge next to a note we had George write to our cat when she had cancer. |
