They swim in the pool with the fishes

[ng_moonmoth]

ysabetwordsmith is having another half-price sale of their poetry. (For those of you who have not been on my friends list long enough to see this, they are a crowdfunded author and poet with a large body of work I enjoy. Most of the sale poetry comes from their monthly Poetry Fishbowl.) This half-price sale features works from their Polychrome Heroics storyline.

One common feature of the half-price sales is a volume discount: any person or persons who sponsors more than $100 worth of poetry need only pay half the half-price rate. This is a great bargain. Some of us are inclined to offer people who wouldn't otherwise want to spend that much a chance at that bargain by running sponsorship pools, where we designate a list of targets of interest and provide the initial funding. Anyone interested in seeing any of those works sponsored can chip in a bit toward the pool targets, and then use the quarter-price discount for anything else they may want to buy.

This pool, usual suspect fuzzyred and I are proposing to buy out the Big One and Kraken threads. fuzzyred also wants "A Serious Eater" from the Shiv thread. Together we can already just about cover that. This means that anyone interested in joining the pool is free to specify any new target they would like to help sponsor, and new pool funds will go toward funding it.

Looking forward to the action!

Yay!

Signal boosted.

If you let me know which poems are already fully covered by the pool, I can mark those as sold.

librarygeek just joined, w'ith enough to cover the bit of space between the initial sponsors and their target list. So you can mark those as sold, and add "Ace of Ages" to the pool targets. I'll keep you informed of any stretch goals.

Re: Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

Done! I marked the earlier set as sold to the pool, and put "Ace of Ages" on the target list. :D

No additional pool action. Sponsorships have been collected and sent. Looking forward to the results.

[fuzzyred]

Yay! I shall boost the signal for the pool (and the sale in general) after I have gotten some sleep and can actually brain. :D

Time to settle

[ng_moonmoth]

Looks like no further action. Time to wrap things up and send them off. You know where to send the money.

Re: Time to settle

Money incoming shortly.
