Sale Signal Boost

[fuzzyred]

ysabetwordsmith is having a half-price sale in Polychrome Heroics again. My budget is smaller than normal, but I'm willing to host a pool if other people want to join. I don't have a clear focus this time, so I'm open to suggestions, but I always like Shiv, and I'm down for sponsoring the Rutledge thread too if anyone is interested in that. Yay poetry!

EDIT: Since ng_moonmoth is willing to run a pool and has aims on Kraken and Rutledge, I'm going to let them run the pool instead and throw my funds over there. For more details, see their comment on the notice post for the sale.

Sounds like we're on the same page again

[ng_moonmoth]

I just got done posting a pool offer in the announcement post, focusing on Kraken and the Rutledge sequence. Looking for (I think it's) $66.25 to sponsor the first long poem in that sequence. Chip in some of that, and if you want to add a Shiv poem to the target list, I'm all for it.

I'm more than happy to defer to you on this one. I have about $50 to throw in this time, though I do have some wiggle room if we need a bit extra. I'd like to aim for "An Elusive, Tantalizing Partner" from the Shiv group, if that is doable.

Sounds good to me. I'll put you down for $27 to sponsor "An Elusive, Tantalizing Partner", and put the other $23 on the Rutledge thread.

Sounds good :) I'll keep an eye on who else joins in and whether I need to chip in any extra.

zianuray has sponsored two Shiv poems in full (including the one I was after), and has opened the last one for microfunding. "The Only Real Stumbling Block" needs $20.25 to be completed. Does it work for me to finish that poem and then put $29.75 towards the Rutledge poems? I also have some extra floating around if it is needed.

Alternately, all $50 of my contribution can go towards your intended targets if the math works out better that way.

Sure does. I will adjust appropriately. Still haven't heard from anyone else; will figure out what to do if that remains the case soon.

Re: Sounds like we're on the same page again

Yay! I am planning on making my (belated) weekly post later this afternoon, and I'll mention the pool again there, in case I can catch anybody's eye.

"The Only Real Stumbling Block" just got finished. I'll pivot all of your $50 over to the Rutledge track, and see how far I can advance that thread.

Looks like I can get all the Kraken and the first three Rutledge poems once I toss in what I'm willing to contribute. That will be the plan unless someone else comes in late.

Re: Sounds like we're on the same page again

[fuzzyred]

That sounds good to me. :)

Great! Can you send your contribution sometime today, so I can forward it? Whenever you decide there isn't any more sponsorship happening.

Re: Sounds like we're on the same page again

[fuzzyred]

That is doable. I will probably send it around 6 or 7pm EST, just to give people some time (since I didn't actually get my post up until this morning).

Re: Sounds like we're on the same page again

[fuzzyred]

My contribution has been sent, though as a heads up, librarygeek sponsored one of the two Kraken poems, so I don't know if that changes how far your funds go. If you need more than the $50 I sent, let me know and I can send a bit more.

Re: Sounds like we're on the same page again

[ng_moonmoth]

Got it, thanks. The contribution from librarygeek is likely to make it so I can do the next one or two.

Yay!
