Let me tell you a story.
Back in high school, I was a nerd. A lazy one. I spent the majority of my time either doodling or writing stories or sleeping. (Mostly sleeping.)
Well, one of my close friends, who I'd known since I was a kid, spent a fair amount of her time doing the same (minus the sleeping). Now, I wasn't very good, but she was a fantastic writer and artist. So when I say "we exchanged", I mean I waited eagerly every day for the next chapter in her stories, or for the next redesign of her characters. I even had favorites that I would ask to read over again - one in particular, spawning from a lesson about feigned fainting in the Victorian period. I won't elaborate, just in case it becomes a Snape-kills-Dumbledore sort of spoiler.
Now, she wasn't the lazy type like myself, and eventually went on to the University of Tampa for her B.A. and subsequently attended the Savannah College of Art and Design. She has shown amazing dedication and drive, and it has been a pleasure and an honor to see how far she's come.
Fast-forward ten years. Time and distance have come between us, but I've still followed her career path attentively and with admiration. Dana Corrigan is now heading up a project to animate those same characters she drew back then. I can't tell you guys how amazing it is to see what is essentially my childhood, coming to life like this. I always knew she would be successful, and now I'm proud to see what she's managed to achieve.
Her project needs backing, so I'm appealing to my friends and family to pledge what they can to help her. The pledge fund and pilot can be found here, as well as Dana's biography:

Please, please, please help her get this project off the ground. Even as little as a single dollar helps.
