Something I've been thinking about since day one of this campaign...

The response you've all had to The Call of Cthulhu has been extraordinary. Because of you, the cast and crew are already being paid above their standard rates. Audio fiction is not a well-paid arena, so that matters to me enormously, and it's directly because of this community.

A few of you have asked whether there's a way to add something more personal: a direct thank-you to the actors, the sound designer, the production team who are going to make this thing. So I've set up a way to do exactly that.

It's simple. A £10 donation add-on, and you can add as many units as you like. Every pound goes into a dedicated cast and crew bonus pot, held separately from the main campaign finances (so that it isn't subject to VAT etc) and distributed at the end of production. There's no reward attached, because it isn't a purchase: it's a thank-you.

If you want to add one (or more), you'll find it in the add-ons section of your backer survey when it opens. You can also add it to your order now.

Thank you, as ever, for making all this possible.
