Poetry Fishbowl Tomorrow!

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

This is a reminder for the December 2009 Poetry Fishbowl. This time the theme will be "cultures of the world." I'll be soliciting ideas for culture heroes, historic figures, ancient or modern societies, objects linked to a certain culture, winter holidays around the world, cultural practices, culture clashes, historic evolution of cultures, places associated with a given culture, and poetic forms linked to a culture in particular.

If you're interested, mark the date on your calendar, and please hold actual prompts until the "Poetry Fishbowl Open" post tomorrow. Meanwhile, if you want to help with promotion, please feel free to link back here or repost this on your blog.

Cyberfunded Creativity Website Brainstorming

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

On several previous occasions, we have discussed what kind of things we'd like to have in a website devoted to cyberfunded creativity/crowdfunding/etc. raindrops is working on a way to set up such a site. I offered some initial suggestions for useful features, and a few more have come in since then.

What other features would you like to have? Imagine going to a crowdfunding site, as a creator and/or donor. What would you want to do there? How would you like to do it?

Here are some previous discussions about the promotion of cyberfunded creativity:
