New pledges were added this year! We finally had the backend resources to support a couple new additions and both of these have been desperately needed in their respective slots. I'm so happy to be able to add them.
Moving on to you, though...
From all that, it sounds like you want a challenge, not just a number you absolutely know you can hit (75K), so that makes the 150K pledge the fairly obvious choice. The other nice thing is it should give you a little push to stay on your goal of writing interactive fiction samples on the side, and might also account for any on-the-job training exercises you might need to write to develop more skills.

150K seems like a good choice for you next year.
