crowdfundingWelcome to the seventy-third Crowdfunding Creative Jam! This session will run Saturday, June 16-Sunday, June 17. The theme is "Creation and Destruction."
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.

Date: 2018-06-16 07:01 am (UTC)He dances the haka to thank Rangahore
For her gifts to her children, the rocks
Tamati dances
He dances the stories of his ancestors
For the people who come to learn, the children
Tamati dances
He dances destruction and creation
Earth moves when he plants his feet, the roots
Tamati dances
Tamati thinks
He thinks about Tane who made Mankind
And left all his wives to do so, even Rangahore
Tamati thinks
He thinks about promises broken open
Like things split by volcanic heat, even rocks
Tamati thinks
He thinks about other gods and godesses
Known for creating and destroying, even Pele
Tamati thinks
Tamati grows
He grows as a person and as a supervillain
Building connections through tunnels, underground
Tamati grows
He grows as a brother and a tribal member
Expanding his family through marriage, surprisingly
Tamati grows
He grows roses and herbs with his Tuahine
Covering planters of lava rock with green, budding
Tamati grows
And he thanks Pele and Tane now too.

Date: 2018-06-16 09:23 am (UTC)I loved your setting's haka-as-power-battle, though. I need to go poking about in SQ-Polynesia to see if there's more soups who dance the haka that way. I want super-hakas to be a thing.
