aldersprigThe call for prompts is now CLOSED!
The Summary of stories is here on DW and here on LJ.
I am now taking prompts on the theme of Gifts, gifts, and the gifted
I will write (over the next week) at least one microfic (150-300 words) to each prompter. If you donate, I will write to all of your prompts,
If you have donated, I will write to every prompt you left.
In addition, for each $5 you donate, I will write an additional 500 words to the prompt(s) of your choice.
For every linkback I receive, I will post another 50 words on a story (See the poll for setting here on DW and here on LJ
If I get two new commenters or one new donator, I will write a setting piece (setting chosen by poll).
And, of course, donations are always well-received:
If I reach $35 in donations, I will post an additional 1000-2000-word fic on the subject of the audience's choice.
If I reach $65, I will write at least 2 microfics for everyone, whether or not they donated.
If I reach $95, I will write to every prompt I get in the next 24 hours (limit 4 per person) - or third prompt for each original prompter. At this point, please allow up to 5 weeks for the writing to be completed.
If I reach $120, I will record a podcast of an audience-choice story and post it for everyone to read. Also, everyone who tipped will get double wordcount.
If I reach $150, I will release an e-book of all of the fiction written to this call and the last one. At this point, please allow up to 6 weeks for the writing to be completed.
I'm still saving up for the giraffe carpet, which will be installed THIS COMING WEDNESDAY (knock on wood!)
