We’ve had a couple folks check in with us to see how we’re doing with how crazy this week has been on the internet. And we’re touched, really. Thank you for thinking of us!

All things considered, we’re doing as okay as we can be. Our Developer Team is working on a our next site update and squashing bugs. From a social media standpoint we’re encouraging people to follow us over on Bluesky.

As we stated in our previous funding update your support has helped us remain online until August. In case you are curious, here are our current statistics:

March Funding Update - 55%

We’ve had a couple questions regarding what funding means after 2023 End of Year Fundraiser and yes, each month we are able to hit at least 100% of our funding goal extends our site’s life by a month. The End of Year Fundraiser gave us enough funding to remain online until at least July 2024 if we did not meet any funding goals. Your support has already extended our life until August 2024 which is incredible given how dire things were at the end of last year.

For example, if we are able to at least meet 100% of our $5,000 goal in March we would have enough funding until September.

We hope this answers any lingering questions on that.

For those of you new here: Hi! We’re not a large corporation nor are we backed by any investors. We’re a small team of part-time contractors passionate about everything fandom and what Pillowfort is all about. Our funding is still entirely user-funded thanks to the support of donations and subscribing to Pillowfort Premium (which gives pretty neat benefits such higher image uploads, multiple avatars, and premium avatar frames).
