Sometimes it's easy to forget that we need the support of fans in order to succeed; sure they can be irritating but we need to remember that without fans all creative endeavors are bound to fail, be they patrons, our support, or the people we're counting on to pay our bills. Here we look at ways to show our appreciation for the fans, from merchandise to giving them some agency, and even just doing what we do. We can't afford to forget what we owe them, and we forget that at our peril.Please support WCRI by pledging at our Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/twosparrows).
