Art of Asking, activate. Just for the FREE MEMBERS: Would you like to RECEIVE a gift of free patronage?🎁
🕑 Added 2025-12-17 21:18:27 +0000 UTCHello, all my free Patrons!!
SHORT STORY: go fill out this form if you'd like to request a free gift of patronage from a generous secret santa!:
https://forms.gle/1Zi9XMbGw4UHgMsy5
.........
Here’s a fun experiment. (Well, perhaps this depends on your definition of "fun"). But.
Here goes!
I'm so grateful that you're here. If you know my philsophy - from my book or from y TED talk - I believe that art should be as free as possible.
And also, the money's gotta come from somewhere. I love this commjnity that we have built around me and The Dresden Dolls - and how everybody contributes what they can...and it's worked this far.
IF YOU MISSED THE HUGE NEWS:
PATREON now allowes "gifting".
And MY TEAM decided to try something experimental:"
You can now ASK for a gift of patronage, and maybe someone will be randomly generous and GIVE IT TO YOU!
You can ask for a gift by filling out this form.
............
HOW?
Some of the crew on Team AFP are literally going to do this by hand. The team will organize a waiting list of people from all over the world (and from the free membership tier) and we will send the unique gift membership links out BY HAND to people who want them.
If you're FEELING generous??
To be a santa benefactor: just create a gift, and share the link (or links) with us by emailing it to patreongifting@amandapalmer.net and we can give out the links to interested folks for you. (FUN TIMES!)
NOTE/QUESTION: I am all about transparency....if anyone who gifts WANTS to be thanked/shouted out in a post as a benefactor, that's totally great and we can do a dedicated post. Just let us know when you email us the links.
Technical thing! If you purchase a gift through the app, the App Store adds a whole bunch of fees - so make sure to use your browser instead and just go to http://patreon.com/amandapalmer/ and purchase directly from there!
Here are some more detailed instructions from Patreon if this is at all….confusing. Or comment here and we will be checking all day today and tomorrow. We will make a bigger post to the whole Patreon in a couple days and if any of you have been generous enough to secret santa, there will be gifting to give!!!!
OK, GO!!!!
AGAIN: To gift a membership (or memberships), just click here and then hit "gift membership!" Reminder to do this instead of going through the App Store to avoid additional fees ;)
If you do it and it works, please please please leave a comment !!!
If something doesn’t work, comment!! Ask!!
We are here, reading and READY!
