How long have you been on crowdfunding here? Since it started in 2010.

Are you a creator, fan, or patron? All of the above! I do a Poetry Fishbowl in my blog the first Tuesday of each month; next up will be January 3 with a theme of "short forms."

What kind of crowdfunding interests you? I like all kinds. I miss the free icon days and one-card draws that used to be so popular but I haven't seen in years. I like the Creative Jam here, and some friends' projects such as Feathering the Nest and Magpie Monday by dialecticdreamer.

Do you use Kickstarter, IndieGoGo, Patreon, or other crowdfunding sites? On Kickstarter I usually look at games and books.


What is your blog like? It's a combination of living room and office.

How busy is it? I post daily. The Poetry Fishbowl is the biggest interactive activity, and there's usually a mid-month half-price sale too.

What topics do you post about most often? reading
writing
cyberfunded creativity
poetry
networking
fantasy
news
weblit
science fiction
personal
nature

What kinds of friends are you looking for? I'm always interested in meeting other folks who like crowdfunding. I'm especially interested in boosting the signal for other people's projects, and finding more participants for mine.

How long have you been on crowdfunding here? Since about 2017
Are you a creator, fan, or patron? From a crowdfunding perspective I am mostly a Patron, but I'm considering adding a Ko-fi tip jar to my blog.
What kind of crowdfunding interests you? Good stories, funny/touching webcomics, diverse art, and indie TTRPGs.
Do you use Kickstarter, IndieGoGo, Patreon, or other crowdfunding sites? I've supported 5-6 projects on Kickstarter, I'm supporting 1 artist on Patreon, and I enjoy buying poems in several of ysabetwordsmith's poetry series.

What is your blog like? Short snippets of fiction with minor edits. I don't share much personal stuff on my writing blogs, and the little bit I do share on FaceBook is skewed towards neutral/positive things.
How busy is it? January-March tends to have the biggest rush of creativity and posting, then trickles lower as my ability to go play outside increases with the weather.
What topics do you post about most often?I'd guess that 90% of my posts are my little fiction pieces, and the other posts are primarily bingo cards.
What kinds of friends are you looking for? Kind people who don't mind longish gaps in updates to my blogs/stories.

Much appreciated.

Go for it!

Yay! I had a really good run on Kickstarter with this year's holiday shopping. My Neanderthal comic book just arrived and is awesome.

LOL yes, once the spring planting season hits, it gobbles up my daylight hours like crazy. That makes it harder to find time for crowdfunding poetry.
