2018 Incentives: Rewards for Everyone!

So you know I play games to raise money for sick kids, but did you know there are rewards for everyone who donates at least $5? That's right. Rewards for everyone! If you didn't know, or someone only just showed you this blog, please read on and consider helping me raise money for sick kids this year!

✦ Personal Incentives ✦ 

When an individual (non-anonymously) donates any of these amounts, they get the reward for the amount they chose and everything else before it.

$5 Donation

A personal thank-you across all of my social media channels. 

This includes: Facebook, Twitter, my public Steam group, my team's Discord channel, and this blog.

$10 Donation

Choose a theme for a mini feature in Gamer Reverie. 

That means you get to pick a game or topic for me to write a blog entry about! I reserve the right to make use of creative license.

$25 Donation 

Earn an entry into monthly Amazon gift card drawing. 

For every $10 donated in a given month, I will put $1 on the gift card. (Example: $200 donated = $20 gift card.) Refer others to donate in the same month and earn additional entries in the monthly drawing. (They MUST mention your name when they donate.)

$50 Donation

A digital art sketch by me.

Did you know I do the arts and the stuff? I'm a little out of practice, but this and this are examples. Subject and content at my discretion. I hope you like fantasy creatures.

$100+ Donation

Be entered into a drawing for a LARGE Amazon gift card.

Drawing will take place at the end of the fundraising (January 2019). Total will depend on number of $100+ donations: for each donation of this amount, I will put $15 on the gift card. (Example: 4 people make $100+ donations = $60 gift card.)

✦ Milestone Incentives ✦ 

These amounts represent my fundraising total. When I reach one, everyone who's donated at least $5 is eligible to receive the reward or partake in the details. You also get to brag that you helped me!

$100 Milestone

All donors receive a digital art sketch by me (approx 4x6) for Christmas. 

I've done actual Christmas sketches as Christmas cards in the past, so you'll probably get some kind of Christmas/fantasy creature sketch. Since I'll be doing the artwork digitally, it will be sent to the email address you use when you make a donation. If you're a $100+ donor, you can ask about getting a physical print mailed to you.

$200 Milestone

I will play and blog about Dead Mountaineer's Hotel.

Words cannot describe how much I hate this game. Well, I take that back. I wrote this review of it back in 2013. It has Mostly Negative reviews on Steam for a good reason. Bottom line: It's a terrible game, but I'm willing to slog through it if it means you'll donate! By the by, my best sarcasm seeps into my writing when I'm fed up or irritable. The resulting blog entry will probably be absolutely acidic.

$300 Milestone

I will play and blog about a sports game. SPORTS!

I don't know what kind of game this will be, but it will likely rely on a sale since I don't think I own any sports games. Does Probably Archery count? I hope not. That one's pretty hard. Tell you what, I'll make a poll if and when I reach this milestone. That seems fair. SPORTS!

$400 Milestone

I'll read and review a cheap romance novel. Ugh.

This is not my genre. At all. But my Kindle ads love to suggest them to me. If I reach this milestone, I'll find a free or cheap one to read on my Kindle. It will be awful. Donate if you want to make me squirm and suffer!

$500 Milestone

All donors receive a digital art sketch by me (approx 8x10) for Christmas.

Same deal as the $100 milestone, but this one will be bigger and more detailed -- might even have a background to it! This will, again, go to whatever email address you use when you make your donation. If you're a $100+ donor, you can ask about getting a physical print mailed to you.

$600 Milestone

I will play and blog about Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.

If you haven't heard about this game, just wander over to YouTube and look it up. It is a rage-inducing game and hilarious to watch others play it. I don't like frustrating games, so you can bet your sweet bippy I'll have trouble keeping my blog entry clean. Only you can help make me suffer -- donate today!

$700 Milestone

I will read and review 50 Shades of Grey.

We've already established how much I hate romance novels. This one, from all reputable sources, is badly-written fangirling of imagined BDSM. Just imagine how badly I'll rip this apart once I've read it! If you want to read the scathing review by snarkqueen, you'd better donate and help me reach this milestone! (Not that I want you to. Ugh.)

$800 Milestone

I will sing "Let It Go" from Frozen.

Everyone knows how much I hate this movie. I cringe when people make references or sing the music. It was overdone and the plot was bad. All the hype just made me loathe it more. So now imagine me having to sing "Let It Go." And let someone record it. If this doesn't get you to donate, I'm not sure anything else will.

$900 Milestone

I will play and blog about a Dark Souls game, and keep a death tally.

I've watched my husband play the Souls games (along with Bloodbourne). I cringe every time, knowing my survival likelihood is far less than his. Even so, I'm willing to suffer through at least 1 hour of gameplay and countless deaths if it means you'll donate.

$1000 Milestone

I will watch and blog about the Twilight movies. All of them.

That's right. This one's for the whole pot, dearies. Get me to my goal and I will watch that which I have avoided (I haven't even read the books). Vampires should not sparkle. People who can't smile should not act. BingeClock says that it takes 10 hours and 11 minutes to watch the entire Twilight saga. Not only will you make me miserable for a whole weekend, but you'll be helping sick kids in the process. It's a win-win for you. (I reserve the right to hate you later.)
