Welcome to Gaia! ::


<center>Sarrah's Charity for the Literate
v. 2.0

Please enjoy your stay, and remember the most important rule -- if the subject line says CLOSED, do NOT ask for money. Thank you!
Preamble

Hi, everybody! You may remember me, you may not. I'm an older user of Gaia that was on hiatus for a while, but I'm back now. When I was an active Gaia user, my very, very favorite thing about Gaia was this, the Charity forum. I went around donating gold randomly to quests I thought deserved it, but after a while, I wanted my own charity, so I created Sarrah's Charity for the Literate. Well, while I was away, apparently my charity was "archived," so, here it is, in its second incarnation. I hope you all enjoy it. 3nodding
Rules

Well, I'd really appreciate if my applicants would read <i>everything</i> in this section.

Here's the way it works. Come here, tell me about your quest and why you deserve my money, and, if I think you deserve it, I'll give you 1000g. Yes, that's right, 1000g. If you're thisclose and just need a little smidgen extra, maybe 1100g, I could probably swing that for you too, if I'm feeling generous. (:

As much as I'd like to, though, I can't just give gold to every Tom, d**k, and Harry that comes wandering into this thread. I've got to have some standards. So, first of all, you need to have been a member of Gaia for at least a month. I'll be honest, I'm not going to check the join date of every single applicant, so I'm mostly taking you at your word for this one. However, if you're completely naked or in peasant clothes, or I feel like I'm being duped, I won't hesitate to give your profile the once over and find out. Also, include a link to your quest thread, if you have one. If you don't have one, your reasoning for why you need my gold had better be outstanding. As for the reasoning, I'd like at least a paragraph written about this. Come on, all that gold for nothing but a paragraph? That's a pretty good deal! I'm not a huge stickler on this, I'm not going to count and make sure you have exactly five sentences including an introduction and a conclusion or anything crazy like that. Oh right, and one of the most important things. Just to make sure you read all and this, and because I'm feeling completely arbitrary, make sure you mention peanut butter and jelly somewhere in your request. Last, but not least, please include a thank you in the subject line of the return trade. I probably won't cancel the trade if you don't, but it does make me feel nice to get some thanks. (: One more thing before I forget, stop telling me your post counts as I really, truly, don't care, and it's annoying to see them all.

This is a one shot deal -- please do not keep posting "new and improved" applications, all that does is clutter the thread. Thanks.

That's simple enough, right?
People I've Served

..not! 3nodding Something those of you who remember me may recall is that I never had one of those lists of who has gotten money from me. I dunno why, it always sort of felt like bragging to me. And that's not what I'm about.

No one is <i>ever</i> under any obligation to donate, but this post is for those kind souls who do.

Special Thanks

I'd like to take this moment to thank two of my very oldest Gaia friends, T_M and Zephnon. I'm not sure if either of them still uses Gaia, but they were part of what made this place so wonderful to me when I was first here.

Thanks, guys.
I reserve the right to turn anyone down for any reason I want, so, please, save the drama for your mama. Thanks.
