‘Tis pledge season here at TheOneRing.net! You may have noticed the new ‘banner’ at the top of the homepage, letting you know about our fundraising drive. Often at conventions, staffers get asked about how great it must be, being paid to attend conventions, organize line parties, go to film screenings, etc. While those events are of course all fabulous, no one at TORn is ever paid a penny.
