      <title>Winner Page Wording</title>
      <description>This may just be me but this line on the winners page read as misleading:  "Before you claim your Winner Goodies below, please celebrate your victory by making a small donation to cover the cost of this NaNoWriMo and our classroom-based Young Writers Program."

I understand you're saying that it'd be great if people would make a donation to help cover the cost of NaNo, but the way that's worded makes it sound like "before you claim your winner goodies you need to make a donation".  I wonder how many people have made a donation feeling that they need to in order to claim their winner goodies, or how many haven't had their goodies because they can't make a donation and didn't realise it wasn't mandatory.

As I said, it may just be me, but it didn't seem to be worded very well and came across as more demanding and an obligation for all winners.</description>

      <description>How about rewording it like this:  "... please consider celebrating your victory by making a small donation ..."</description>
