Will never understand why this needed a nonprofit organization at all, ever. It's a personal goal in an agreed-upon timeframe; it's a task tailored for local gatherings, not an international non-profit organization that needed a $1.3M annual budget and 12 paid staff.<p>There's a bullet point on a slide:<p>> The hope was that the community would come through and support us when we were transparent about the organization's financial problems. That didn't happen.<p>Probably a good sign that the non-profit wasn't valued, much less required, by peer groups of prospective and active writers to set personal goals over a month they collectively pick, hold each other accountable, and provide feedback to each other.<p>They acknowledge this in the slide deck, too. Many (arguably most) of the friction came from the fact that the non-profit wasn't necessary for writers to self-organize in Discords and other venues, but because the non-profit existed, it took the brunt of the complaints, even when it had nothing to do with them (whether loud on AI and minors participating, or quiet on the fact that after you've done it once, it becomes an expoentially less valuable goal to do it again, and the non-profit offered no meaningful evolution of the concept).
