EFFECTIVE 1 JANUARY, 2026

Going forward membership will require a $10 dollar annual member fee. As part of our non-profit incorporation, we chose to have a community-organized membership that has voting rights (akin to OTW/Ao3). In addition to the above, members will have voting rights to choose members of the Board of Directors. The first time this fee will be due is between January and March 2026, with a hard deadline of 31 March 2026. If you do not pay the membership due by this day, your membership will lapse. You may renew at any time.

All members will be grouped into a Winter cohort or a Summer cohort based on when they submit and pay for their membership with Renegade. The Winter cohort’s dues will be paid annually each year between 1 January and 31 March. The Summer cohort’s dues will be paid annually each year between 1 July and 30 September. All guild members who have joined Renegade prior to 31 March, 2026, will automatically be placed in the Winter cohort. After March 2026, members who join between April and September will be in the Summer cohort, and members who join between October and March will be in the Winter cohort.  

As Renegade is an international organization, your membership fee can be scaled based on the respective purchasing power parity of your home currency (e.g., you pay the equivalent in your currency to what $10 can buy in the U.S.). As part of this membership, you will be eligible to vote on the composition of the Board of Directors for each term, and you may virtually attend each year’s annual Open Board Meeting, in addition to being listed on the Renegade website.
