Clarion South needs money.

Clarion South is the absolute singularity of speculative-fiction talent in the entire southern hemisphere. If you feel its attraction, it sucks you in and spits you out into another universe, and you are a different — better — writer. Ready to use your powers for good (never for evil).

My Clarion buddy Chris Green says it best:

If you give them money, Clarion South will colonize mars, solve global warming, prevent global cooling, genetically engineer a vast array of wrong things before eradicating them with a singularly designed right thing, invent FTL, save you from the Zombie Horde, etc. And they’ll do it EVERY TWO YEARS, with something in the region of 17 different host bodies.

Go to http://www.clarionsouth.org/donate.htm to donate. They have a $4,000 goal by the end of March, which is any nanosecond now.
