ng_moonmothAs is often the case, fuzzyred and I are combining forces to offer a quarter-price pool on one of ysabetwordsmith's discount sales of their Poetry Fishbowl output. This round's sale offers poems from a number of threads in their Polychrome Heroics storyline.
The normal discount for poems offered in the sale is half-price. However, large buyers (at least $100) get an additional discount, and can buy anything they wish to sponsor at quarter-price. Because that may be a difficult number for many to offer all by themselves, multiple people can combine money to reach that threshold, and all participants receive the quarter-price discount.
So here's how this pool works:fuzzyred and I came up with a list of poems we wanted to sponsor that added up to enough to trigger the quarter-price discount. Anyone else who would like to sponsor poems at quarter-price instead of half-price may do so by pledging a meaningful amount toward the pool's funding targets, and either fully sponsoring a poem they wanted or asking for sponsoring assistance from other pool members for a poem they can't entirely sponsor themselves. A good guide for "meaningful" would be at least $5, or 10% of one's pledge.
For starters, this pool will be buying out the Aquariana ($117.50 at half-price) and Officer Pink ($131) threads, and "The Glue of LIfe" ($201) from the Shiv thread. This is $224.75 at quarter-price. The pool will also be finishing the microfunded poem "Rainshadow Road" ($23, locked price). So i you are interested in supporting any of this funding activity, simply comment below or PM me with the amount you wish to pledge, and any additional poems you would like to buy at quarter-price, and I will update the pool's buy list.
Funding that comes in for pool poems enables the pool to buy more poetry. This round's stretch goals are the Shiv thread "That Big, Booming Drum" ($132.75 at quarter-price) and "Coyote Never Loses" ($99.50 at quarter-price). If those get funded, more stretch goals may be added.
Settlement is by PayPal by Saturday evening, so I can forward the money then. I will send my PayPal handle to any sponsor who needs it.
Hoping for lots of fun and lots of poetry!
