2024 Holiday Points Bonus, plus: PRICES WILL INCREASE in 2025

This bonus is active now: for the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

We will increase our prices in 2025 to more closely match the inflation-adjusted original launch prices for paid accounts and premium paid accounts.

If you want to give gifts on Dreamwidth, consider points, because that's a gift that everyone here can use. Plus it supports the site so DW continues to exist.

That is likely to be a huge jump in prices -- nearly double for a year's paid time -- so if you're thinking about whether to buy paid time, do it this month.

You will see these around Dreamwidth, LiveJournal, Blogspot, author websites, and more. By supporting these, you help keep the internet a lively place and help creative people survive in the face of megacorps.
