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?

>>I don't think we necessarily get anything else.<<

I think we should, because other professions do. But people seem to feel free to take creative material without giving anything in return. That attitude contributes to many problems in the industry, such as publishers holding onto writers' money. Professionals get paid. If they're not, that's a problem.
