      However, this giveaway is only available to our Patreon supporters. We've done an awful job promoting our Patreon page, so this is a small way that we are trying to improve on that. Also, we're super grateful for those who do help us out, so we want to give back in some small way (Lord willing, more giveaways to come).

      So even if you only give $1, if you're a Patreon supporter then you're eligible to win!
