In the name of fiscal transparency, here’s our 2012 financial report! You can read them from 2011<\/a>, 2010<\/a>, and 2009<\/a> too! We’ve made a lot of headway this year and feel like we are approaching a good place despite a recession and changing publishing industry. We’ve resolved a tremendous amount of old debt so big thanks and hugs to everybody who stuck with us this year. We are still working on re-instating last year’s reduced wages and healthcare but we are finding creative ways to work out those problems by next October. Here’s a toast to continued improvements in 2013! If you want to help, it is always helpful to sign up for a BFF subscription<\/a> or purchase anything from the site!  <\/p>\n
