crowdfundingWelcome to the thirty-fourth Crowdfunding Creative Jam! This session will run Saturday, October 18-Sunday, October 19. The theme is "Paradigm Shifting Without a Clutch." (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.

After that, they play the original, non-garbled clip. And then the garbled one again, except this time (and every subsequent time) it is understandable. Your perception of the sound has been irrevocably changed. You can't unhear it.
I'd like a story/art about something like that, about someone who has noticed some order or rules or phenomenon in the universe, and now they can't un-notice it!

Date: 2014-10-18 08:39 am (UTC)Wendy stared down at the brittle, yellowing page, the heavy paper smudged and marred by a short, feathered tear about an inch long, the outer edge folded so sharply against the body of it that she thought she might've cut herself.
Her hands were fine. Dry, though her eyes were wet.
She blinked hard, glaring at the typewritten form with its rubber-stamp outline and a single sketched line.
“Separation.”
Her mother always said that she was precious, a gift, born on her mother's birthday. Wendy sometimes doubted it, when her face bloomed in angry red dots, or Melody Sayers got lead in the school play /again/.
One hand traced the silvery scar, barely visible on her left arm. It ran sharp and fine from elbow to wrist, and Wendy hadn't even noticed it in years. Her right hand scrubbed across her eyes.
She lifted the page away, determined not to cry. Her mother wasn't here to frown disappointment at her. Her mother could never frown at her again. Light from the attic window lit the page, words jumping at her like attack dogs.
“Viable.”
Wendy's grandfather would be here sometime today, and Mr. Jiminez had stopped in twice to check on her, sitting with her for the first hour as sobs had shivered through her soul without ever becoming sound.
He wasn't her grandfather, or maybe /she/ wasn't Wendy.
It wasn't real, or she wasn't real.
There was no way to be sure, no one to ask. She slapped the page back into the dun folder, smudged and somehow cheap... fake.
As she lifted her left hand, the scar seemed bigger. Brighter.
Two words bit into her mind as she slapped the folder closed.
“Test subject.”
