Several Points of Business

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!

When someone searches, they'll look first for a word ending in -ing. Thus, "crowdfunding" is a better search term than "crowdfunded". But we can use both forms to good effect.
