crowdfunding | Crowdfunding Creative Jam

Welcome to the second Crowdfunding Creative Jam! This session will run Sunday, November 20-Monday, November 21. The theme is "Inner Worlds." (See also the corresponding post on LiveJournal.)

Everyone is eligible to post prompts, which may be words or phrases, titles, images, etc. Prompters may request a specific creator, but everyone else may still use that prompt if they wish. Prompts may specify a particular character/world/etc. but creators may use the prompt for something else anyway and post the results. Prompters are still encouraged to post mostly prompts that anyone could use anywhere, as this maximizes the chance of having creators make something based on your prompt. Please title your comment "Prompt" or "Prompts" when providing inspiration so these are easy to find.

Prompt responses may also be treated as prompts and used for further inspiration. For example, a prompt may lead to a sketch which leads to a story, and so on. This kind of cascading inspiration is one of the most fun things about a collective jam session.

Everyone is eligible to use prompts, and everyone who wants to use a given prompt may do so, for maximum flexibility of creator choice in inspiration. You do not have to post a "Claim" reply when you decide to use a prompt, but this does help indicate what is going on so that other prompters can spread out their choice of prompts if they wish.

Creators are encouraged, but not required, to post at least one item free. Likewise, sharing a private copy of material with the prompter is encouraged but not required. Creative material resulting from prompts should be indicated in a reply to the prompt, with a link to the full content elsewhere on the creator's site (if desired); a brief excerpt and/or description of the material may be included in the reply (if desired). It helps to title your comment "Prompt Filled" or something like that so these are easy to identify. There is no time limit on responding to prompts. However, creators are encouraged to post replies sooner rather than later, as the attention of prompters will be highest during and shortly after the session.

Some items created from prompts may become available for sponsorship. Some creators may offer perks for donations, linkbacks, or other activity relating to this project. Check creator comments and links for their respective offerings.

Prompters, creators, and bystanders are expected to behave in a responsible and civil manner. If the moderators have to drag someone out of the sandbox for improper behavior, we will not be amused. Please respect other people's territory and intellectual property rights, and only play with someone else's characters/setting/etc. if you have permission. If you want to invite folks to play with something of yours, title the comment something like "Open Playground" so it's easy to spot. This can be a good way to attract new people to a shared world or open-source project, or just have some good non-canon fun.

Boost the signal! The more people who participate, the more fun this will be. Hopefully we'll see activity from a lot of folks who regularly mention their projects in this community, but new people are always welcome. You can link to this session post or to individual items created from prompts, whatever you think is awesome enough to recommend to your friends.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yes--no need to commit to which three poems, and doing a meta post (or just posing a question to the auidence) is entirely optional. People usually do a brief 'yo, I'm so-and-so, and I'm the poetry host this week' intro post as well.

Any interest to giving it a try this week? Anything you post would be better than nothing; it's such a busy time of year that just about everyone left on the volunteer list for hosting is saying they won't be available to do so until mid-December. *gently tears her hair out in frustration*

If not, but you are interested in doing it at some point, just comment on the signup post & I'll be in touch when your turn comes up to see if that particular week works for you.

Sure! I'm not particularly busy this week (or, er, in the coming few, actually) and it sounds like fun. Expect some stumbling as I try and find my feet, though. ^-^ I could do an intro post (later) today, and then spread the poems out over the rest of the week. Tues-Thurs-Sat. Sound good? I'll try and make sure there aren't any doubles with poetry others have posted.

(Please be careful with your hair. Pulling it out hurts...)

YAY!

Thank you so, so much--I really appreciate it. Your posting schedule sounds just fine. There's more info at the signup post re: guidelines, but I suspect just browsing through previous posts will be sufficient to give you an idea of how it tends to go.

I really look forward to reading what you choose to share, and hope this proves a fun experience. :oD

You're quite welcome! I'm excited about it (when I'm not busy being scared ^-~)! You may have to help out a bit with the tags, though. ^-^; I'm hopeless with them. Organisation is... not my strong point.
