Crowdfunding Creative Jam
Welcome to the sixteenth Crowdfunding Creative Jam! This session will run Saturday, March 16-Sunday, March 17. The theme is "memory." (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.

Open Playground: "Schrodinger's Heroes"
The background material and some sample stories, poems, and scripts are linked from the menu post. If you do play with this, I'd love to know; I'll link to other people's contributions if I know where they are.
Open Playground: "Torn World"

Title Prompts:
History's Keeper
These Remembered Instants
The Future of Memory
Text Prompts:
Amnesia.
How memory shapes personality.
When you are the last person who remembers something.
Re: Prompts
From your prompt "The Future of Memory", I got the poem "Of the Aftermath" - after Hunter's first visit to the Archives, Gilbert Rome needs to acknowledge the consequences of everyone's actions.
She’d been the Oracle, once. Not the Oracle he knew,
the one he had studied, but still, when her invitation came,
he didn’t turn it down.
This is a pay-what-you-will poem. If interested, please comment for paypal information.

Muscle memory
Remembering how Lilacs smell, but it isn't lilacs at all
I remember an occurrence that never happened

Re: prompt offered
From your prompt "how lilacs smell, but it isn't lilacs at all", I got the poem, Every Spring - for me, lilacs remind me of my parents' divorce. We had lilacs along the borders of our backyard, thick bushes, a long row, bursting every spring.
This is very much a personal poem, and does not fall into any previous-created 'verse.
This is a pay-what-you-will poem. If interested, please comment for paypal information.
Re: prompt offered
in it, I am in a room, I am dead. No, that’s not right.
I am in a room, I am asleep - I am unconscious -
I am -

being haunted by a melody
if it's not written down, it never happened
Re: prompts
From your prompt, "if it's not written down, it never happened", I got the poem Evacuation Day.
Evacaution Day, if you are not familiar with it, is a holiday celebrated in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and commemorates the day the Continental Army successfully kicked out the British.
I have posted this poem as today's freebie, in honor of today being Evacuation Day.

Prompts
Before finding people like xem, xe felt differently from the way xe does now.
How long ago did xe reach the age xe never thought xe would live to?
Nostalgia for living on a planet.
Nostalgia for a relationship it was right and healthy to sever.
Re: Prompts
On the Earth that was,
humans had a habit of burying objects.
