October Giraffe Call Summary!

[aldersprig.livejournal.com]

I still have 4 prompts to write - 2 for Ysabet & 2 for KC O'Brien - but I'm close enough to the end to post a summary - here on Dreamwidth (http://aldersprig.dreamwidth.org/160124.html) and on Livejournal (http://aldersprig.livejournal.com/304967.html)

Then I get to move on to the paid continuations! This month was a record-breaker for me in terms of the donations received and, I think, the stories written. Reaching higher incentives made me realize I need a clearer incentive for the third (currently $95) level.

The comments perk (a setting-article written for the setting of the story with the most comments) was both a lot of work and sort of backfired (a one-off story has by far the most comments), so I'm not sure what I'm going to do in the future with that one. Do people want/need/like to be incentivized to comment?

I have posted the poll for the story-to-continue here on Dreamwidth (http://aldersprig.dreamwidth.org/160638.html) and on Livejournal (http://www.livejournal.com/poll/?id=1790176), and I've posted a few questions for readers on Dreamwidth and on LJ.

Thanks for everyone's support!
