crowdfundingWelcome to the thirty-eighth Crowdfunding Creative Jam! This session will run Saturday, March 14-Sunday, March 15. The theme is "Portents of the Past and Future." Visit the Creative Jam over on LiveJournal.
Crowdfunding Creative Jam
Everyone is eligible to post prompts, which may be words or phrases, titles, images, etc. Prompters may request a specific creator, but everyone else may still use that prompt if they wish. Prompts may specify a particular character/world/etc. but creators may use the prompt for something else anyway and post the results. Prompters are still encouraged to post mostly prompts that anyone could use anywhere, as this maximizes the chance of having creators make something based on your prompt. Please title your comment "Prompt" or "Prompts" when providing inspiration so these are easy to find.
Prompt responses may also be treated as prompts and used for further inspiration. For example, a prompt may lead to a sketch which leads to a story, and so on. This kind of cascading inspiration is one of the most fun things about a collective jam session.
Everyone is eligible to use prompts, and everyone who wants to use a given prompt may do so, for maximum flexibility of creator choice in inspiration. You do not have to post a "Claim" reply when you decide to use a prompt, but this does help indicate what is going on so that other prompters can spread out their choice of prompts if they wish.
Creators are encouraged, but not required, to post at least one item free. Likewise, sharing a private copy of material with the prompter is encouraged but not required. Creative material resulting from prompts should be indicated in a reply to the prompt, with a link to the full content elsewhere on the creator's site (if desired); a brief excerpt and/or description of the material may be included in the reply (if desired). It helps to title your comment "Prompt Filled" or something like that so these are easy to identify. There is no time limit on responding to prompts. However, creators are encouraged to post replies sooner rather than later, as the attention of prompters will be highest during and shortly after the session.
Some items created from prompts may become available for sponsorship. Some creators may offer perks for donations, linkbacks, or other activity relating to this project. Check creator comments and links for their respective offerings.
Prompters, creators, and bystanders are expected to behave in a responsible and civil manner. If the moderators have to drag someone out of the sandbox for improper behavior, we will not be amused. Please respect other people's territory and intellectual property rights, and only play with someone else's characters/setting/etc. if you have permission. (Fanfic/fanart freebies are okay.) If you want to invite folks to play with something of yours, title the comment something like "Open Playground" so it's easy to spot. This can be a good way to attract new people to a shared world or open-source project, or just have some good non-canon fun.
Boost the signal! The more people who participate, the more fun this will be. Hopefully we'll see activity from a lot of folks who regularly mention their projects in this community, but new people are always welcome. You can link to this session post or to individual items created from prompts, whatever you think is awesome enough to recommend to your friends.

Come by and take a peek. Technically, it is the sequel to two other pieces, already posted, the first of which was also a Creative Jam fill.
Open Playground: Heliodrax
Date: 2015-03-14 01:17 pm (UTC)There have always been people a little odder than most, a little more reserved, a little offbeat. What if they were part of an entirely separate culture and species, living among the greater human population even as they studied it, trying to understand themselves and their neighbors? Aw, heck... what if there were shapeshifted dragons living around the corner, shopping at the same malls and secretly building caches of knowledge? These are the Heliodrax, and this is an invitation to check out the forming sandbox HERE. Jump in, play, and have fun! Just remember, to Heliodrax, “KNOWLEDGE is a verb!”

prompts!
Date: 2015-03-14 05:28 pm (UTC)The power to literally rewrite the past—for instance, writing "Abraham Lincoln died of old age" would make it so.
The Society for Creative Anachronism (or contextually appropriate similar organization devoted to the learning and use of skills from centuries ago) will save the world when the apocalypse comes.
The future is mutable, the past is not: how the power to see both affects the former.
