What Crowdfunding Would You Like to See?

[ysabetwordsmith]

It occurred to me that there may be folks wondering if they should try crowdfunding, or wondering what kind of project to attempt.  That got me thinking about what kinds it would be nice to have more of.  

There are tons of people writing fiction but some niches still under-served.  A handful of us writing poetry, more would be good.  A handful doing character icons, good ... but I haven't seen anyone who currently does more than a single character per icon or who specializes in non-character icons like houses or starships.  There used to be an illustration project that sketched scenes from other people's work, with donation thresholds for working more on the most popular sketches.  A few music ones have come and gone.  Oodles of people draw webcomics, but there's not much of that activity here.  I know at least one fine art photographer into crowdfunding; more would be awesome.  I'm also very partial to nonfiction and would love to see more folks trying that in this business model.

What kinds of crowdfunding project would you like to see, or see more of?  What have you toyed with trying but haven't done yet?

Hmm. I've been in a creative slump for the last several years, and I've never been productive enough to do a prompt call. Maybe for non-fiction; there are a few subjects I know well enough to write about.

I could write about my songs, and the songs I cover; a few have extensive notes, but most don't, and notes could really enhance my site.

And, of course, I should write more. Poetry and meta seem to be where I'm at currently.
