Calling for Year-End Reports and New Year's Resolutions

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

I'm working on notes for my year-end reports as well as for my 2012 plans and goals.  I'd like to invite other folks to share theirs too.

Creators:  Did you host a crowdfunding project during 2011?  If so, please consider posting a year-end report about what you did and how well it worked for you, along with any major news in project development.

Do you have plans for a new project in 2012, or expansions and refinements in a current project?  Share your creative goals here too.

Patrons and fans:  What crowdfunding project(s) did you support during 2011?  Are you looking for anything new in 2012?  Maybe someone else is thinking along similar lines.

Everyone:  What do you think about this community?  How well is it meeting your needs?  Are there things you'd like to see more or less of here?  Let us know what the crowdfunding community does for you.

>> Maybe it would help if you included more of the creative side, rather than talking about nothing but money and materials. I can't even tell if the cards you're planning would use photos, or paintings, or vector art, or consist only of a typed quote, or what else. <<

Yes, that's a good point. The more people know about a project, the easier it is to get a grasp of it, give feedback, and think about whether they'd like to follow it.

>> It'd be easier to get interested in a project of yours if there were samples of your work available. <<

Samples are often helpful -- even if they aren't directly connected to the new project, they can introduce the creator's ideas and style.
