Analyzing a Failed Fiction Project

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

Recently I made an attempt at crowdfunding with fiction. It did not work. You may find the post-project analysis useful.

Has anyone else had experience with crowdfunding projects that just totally failed to get off the ground? What do you think went wrong?

Understood. It was originally run through my own journal, which is mostly read by people who do know my writing; I thought I'd toss it onto crowdfunding just in case someone was interested.

Well...

The community is here for networking. Sometimes it works, other times not, but we never know until we try.

I don't mind giving away ideas. I have plenty to share. Some of the ones that I get are not even to my taste.

Something that would be fun for a CFC website would be an idea bin, where anybody could leave some ideas or take some.

Thank you!

I've scheduled a post about it over on "Hypatia's Hoard of Reviews." Thanks for the tip!
