Nope. Off-brand.

Team owner comments for additional consideration as we go forward (posted with permission):

Thank you for the reply. Now that I know where to look, I can point at the fact that it was referenced here #8 (reference) that a response had never been sent to me. Obviously I hoped for a different response. Before your transition to "Gratipay 2.0" I enjoyed the ability to receive crowdfunded revenue for creative works in a model other than Patreon, but it seems that your new mission does not support generation of creative content.

My team review was rejected due to being off-brand. I do not dispute that the sort of work I do is not in line with the picture Gratipay is painting of themselves. However, the document referenced as a basis for this, http://inside.gratipay.com/big-picture/brand/ really does not back up this statement.

The Gratipay brand is listed in the ultra-vague terms of being pro - gratitude, generosity, love, honesty, kindness, collaboration, openness, direct interpersonal communication, discussion, deliberation, and safety, and anti - conflict, combativeness, divisiveness, intimidation, and outrage. I would strongly urge that, if this document is going to be used as a basis to approve or deny applicants, it should be worded in more concrete, less general terms. I assure you that, as a revenue-seeker and author, I am not anti-love, anti-kindness, or pro-outrage.

I hope that you consider my comments thoughtfully and seriously, the way they were intended. I appreciate your consideration and I am disappointed I will not be able to do further business with you.

Thanks,
Heather Turing.
