Date: 2007-05-15 04:07 pm (UTC)In the narrow sense, because it relies on the whim of a relatively small population - certainly smaller than your readership - and isn't as directly tied to your performance as a magazine (I suggest) as actually taking money every time someone wants your content.
In the broader sense, because Rose's question was about business models, and I don't think of taking donations as being part of regular business practice. Regular charity practice, sure - heaven knows, I work for a charity. I have no problem with sf entities running on their fannish energies and without a "professional" structure of payment/cash flow to sustain them; but in a sense, what I'm trying to bottom out here is whether Rose's aspiration of payment from a venue like Scalpel is a reasonable aspiration for anyone in the field.
