Several Points of Business

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

1. Sorry for my silence here! I've been away at a 9-day fair that simply ate my time. When I last checked, we were batting around domain names for a crowdfunding/cyber-funded creativity site. I have offered hosting, which has php/mySql capabilities, and I can (fairly) easily install a forum and/or wiki for our use. I will donate the first year of registration on a domain name, and put up a donation button for further registration as needed.

Names we were considering (that were available at the time and *probably* still are...):

creativecrowdfunding.com
crowdfundingcreatively.com
crowdfundedcreatives.com

What do you like? Other alternatives?

2. Torn World, my own crowdfunding project has just closed entries for its first contest, and opened its second for submissions! You can read more details here, and learn more about joining as a contributor here.

3. EMG-Zine is accepting fiction and artwork on the theme of "Faery Court" until Sept 1 for our October issue. Reprints are welcome. Full guidelines are here! While you're there, enjoy our 44th issue, on the theme of "Wizards!"

4. Will any of you creatives be at Dragon*Con this year? I will be in exhibitor's booth 1240!

Is "crowdfundedcreativity.com" available? If so, that would be my first choice, followed by ... yeah, your three suggestions in that order.

I'll have to check out #2 and #3 more thoroughly when I have time. Right now it's a few minutes to supper (crockpot beef medley and stuffed jalapenos).

Would you be willing to put out Crowdfunded Creativity flyers for this community on your DragonCon table, if we could make some? I could probably condense the Profile material and some of our how-to posts for the text, if someone else would contribute suitable line art (or we could use clip art).

crowdfundedcreativity.com is also available!

Flyers would be no problem - I should have some space for them. You can use any of my existing work.

Yay! Howbout doing a poll for the URL name?

I'll think about the flyers. What's the date for the con?

The con is September 4-7, I'd need copies on hand by the 3rd and can give someone an address is Atlanta to send 'em to.

I'll see if I can get a poll up today. It's turning into a big of a nuts day at work...
