"Begware"?

I can't say it's inaccurate, but that's a really unpleasant term for
it.  We prefer "donation-sup****ted."

All receipts are first used to cover our costs (which are low; server
space is cheap these days), then split evenly among our authors and
staff.  This doesn't pay the writers as much as they deserve,
unfortunately, even with most of the staff kicking their shares back
into the kitty.  (After seven issues, I've yet to accept my share.)
