crowdfundingWelcome to the 138th Crowdfunding Creative Jam! This session will run Saturday, November 16-Sunday, November 17. The theme is "Unconditional Love."
Crowdfunding Creative Jam
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. (Fanfic/fanart freebies are okay.) 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.

Title Prompts:
"All You Need Is Love"
"Unconditional Like"
"A Romance of Undivided Souls"
Text Prompts:
* When parental love is definitely conditional, how do you believe in unconditional love? Or figure out how to deliver it to your own children?
* Is conditional love a good idea or not? And why?
* If you love a child before it's born, are you loving that actual person, or just an ideal?
uh. (content note: animal death, probably) Re: Prompts
Date: 2024-11-16 11:15 am (UTC)and between that and the notorious difficulty of keeping a wild baby bunny alive if anyone other than the bunny mama is trying it? (and that's without an internationaly beloved predator of snall mammals present!) I don't think that one goes where you want it to go
(please delete this comment after you reply to it, either to edit the one I'm replying to or just to get the probable soon-to-be dead animals text off the page, I don't much care which)

Date: 2024-11-16 11:48 am (UTC)As discussed earlier, text prompt: If IIRC William Penn set up Pennsylvania as a safe haven for Quakers, given the more successful nature of them in Peculiar Obligations, I wonder if he would ended up elected as President instead of one of the early ones, James Maddison say, or even Jefferson... makes you wonder in what direction history would've bent...

Re: Well ...
Date: 2024-11-19 06:36 am (UTC)I dunno, maybe the revolution came sooner with the stronger Quaker influence?

I've never been very good at keeping dates and what happened when straight... part of my 'dys' thingamy means I suck at patterns and sequences.
Re: Well ...
Date: 2024-11-19 06:45 am (UTC)Still starts in the same year, I checked the timeline.
>> I've never been very good at keeping dates and what happened when straight... part of my 'dys' thingamy means I suck at patterns and sequences.<<
I'm not great at dates either. I remember a few major ones but that's about it. I had a suspicion that the two timespans wouldn't overlap, but I had to look up William Penn to be sure.

Date: 2024-11-16 05:39 pm (UTC)Bunnies and cats can get along; people used to believe rabbits and cats could interbreed to produce "cabbits". And they fill the same evolutionary niches - rabbits are the herbivore version, cats are the carnivore version. They're about the same sizes. But I've seen adult cats responding kindly to baby bunnies.
