Guest bumblebee Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hello! Sorry if this has been brought up before; I tried searching, but couldn’t find a definite answer. I was wondering if authors on the archive are allowed to accept donations from readers. Not commissions! Not “Hey, give me money and I’ll write you something,” but simply donations. If an author posts a link to a donation page in their story or on their profile or even here in the forums, is that ok? I didn’t think it was advertising, since they’re not selling anything, but I wanted to check for sure. Thank you for your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxWench Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Because fan fiction involves copyrights held by people other than the authors here, we don’t allow the mention of donation sites, Patreons, GoFundMe pages, or any other form of monetary exchange here on the AFF archive or forums, whether in profiles, stories, or forum posts. While a donation page isn’t really selling anything, and might not directly represent pay for services, we find it’s best to be like Caesar’s wife and avoid even the remotest chance of impropriety. So, I’m sorry, the short answer is no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
