Welcome to the thirty-ninth Crowdfunding Creative Jam! This session will run Saturday, April 18-Sunday, April 19. The theme is "Impossible." 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.

"Things that G-d wants not to happen aren't forbidden, they're impossible," helped shape the story, "Conversations and Choices," which would post in two parts due to length (2900 words plus notes) Any amount over $1 (to account for Paypal fees) will post it entirely. The donation button is on my profile page. Your copy arrived via email, and your comments helped shape the final draft, so double thank you!

Invitation to play in the open world of the Heliodrax


What could have been preserved from the Carthaginians? What would an outsider with scientific integrity and boundless compassion learn from studying the American Civil Rights movement as it unfolded? Could a culture more focused on cooperation than conflict survive in hiding among our own?

Meet the Heliodrax.

This is an open world, and for anyone interested in their lives, the Index is the place to start. Shapeshifting, intelligent dracoforms with three genders... “Impossible” has a different meaning for them!

Based off ysabetwordsmith's LJ-side prompt of "what you believe influences what you can do", gave me this session's freebie, "Possibilities" which is a character sketch poem featuring Sohvi, a Heliodrax character I'm developing.

[community profile] nineforthenebulasheart is a collaborative-canon fantasy quest story available for writing and creating in. Core canon, contributor guidelines, masterlist of works, and do not feel shy about participation even if you don't know anything but the core canon because fanworks and multiple contradictory canons are totally a thing.

Text prompts:

"It may seem impossible to you, but to me it's normal."

Vanishingly rare does not mean nonexistent.

"You may not have heard of it before. Though it's uncommon, it's also not unheard of."*

*Loosely paraphrasing both Ysabet's Csilla about demisexuals and Professor Dumbledore re: Parselmouths, though neither need be the focus of anything created from the prompt.

I /love/ the variety of media and senses-- I've borrowed the cookie recipe for a current story, and am looking at the musical pieces for tomorrow's writing, too.

A very, very grateful thanks!

Amen to that!

I'm working on two new prompts, scribbling notes as quickly as I can, and want to finish the second part of "Impossible Skies" today as well.

You helped shape "Storm-Tossed."
Sequel to “Storm-Brought.” Wonderful symmetry, since the first story was from the Sept 2014 Creative Jam, while this was inspired by the April 2015 Creative Jam.

Your private copy was sent via two private messages.

For anyone who wants this published immediately, any donation to my Paypal (the link is on my profile page) over $1 will see immediate results. All funds are earmarked for medical bills.

Impossible! For a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage. Impossible! For a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage. (take any part of the lyrics or the whole song or hell the whole movie as the prompt here)

The thing where one-in-a-million chances are practically guaranteed to happen.

"The difficult we do at once. The impossible takes a little longer."

"Impossible" just means "no one has done it yet".
