Introducing myself and the Dragon

[shadowhwk.livejournal.com]

Hey all!

I was recently pointed at this community and thought I'd step in and steal a moment or two.

I am both a supporter and creator of crowdfunded projects. I've written in a couple different genres under a couple of different names, and been electronically published, but after having knocked on NY's door and gotten a lot of almost-theres but no yesses, I've decided to see what the independent world of publishing can do for me.

To that end, my current project is attempting to get the funding for my full-length fantasy novel, The Dragon Undone. I'm giving this a shot through Kickstarter, so if you've got a second or two, please come check out the project.

Thanks in advance!

PetriDish: Crowdfunding for Science Projects

I was thrilled to discover this article about PetriDish, a new crowdfunding hub site specializing in science projects. It's currently in beta with a handful of projects. Among my favorites are a search for the first exomoon, gelada monkey linguistics, the wolves of Isle Royale, and interviews of climate refugees.

Now you can fund the kind of science YOU want to see done! Which is good, because the government has pretty much dropped the ball and big business isn't interested in picking it up. Grab it and run like hell.

SO. MUCH. LOVE.
