Beginning with Volume 3, we are pleased to offer a limited number of short personal advertisements in each issue. For 1,000 platinum per issue, any character may submit a brief ad to be included in the publication. These may take many forms, including: |

* Sponsorship acknowledgements |
|||
* Items wanted or for sale |
|||
* Services offered |
|||
* Trader shops, horse training, or businesses of any sort |
|||
* Personal notices seeking friendship or companionship |

Beyond their practical advantages, advertisements are a wonderful way to enhance your character's story and roleplay, while also engaging with the wider community of Elanthia. |
|||
For those who wish to support the publication but do not have a specific advertisement in mind, simple sponsorship acknowledgments are also available. |
|||
For just 5,000 plat per issue, your name will be featured in the issue you sponsored! This is a great way to show your appreciation for our talented contributors and let them know you like their work! The funds will go towards writer compensation, postage and mail supplies, cupcakes, and hopefully in the future we can offer little prizes or things like that. Unlimited sponsorships are available, it'll just mean the writers end up getting more money if I have multiple sponsors that month. |
|||
All contributions directly support the continued production of Berries & Ink, helping to fund materials, distribution, and the many small efforts that go into bringing each issue to life. By sponsoring or advertising, you are helping us continue to serve as a space for creativity, expression, and shared storytelling. |
