Once again, [personal profile] ysabetwordsmith is holding a half-price sale in Polychrome Heroics. The sale runs until Sunday, and the quarter price discount is available if more than $100 is spent.

I'm happy to run a pool this time, if anyone is interested. I will close the pool on Saturday evening, so that the funds can be forwarded in a timely manner and things can get posted as soon as possible. I get my contract bonus from work tomorrow, so I have more funds available than normal. The target list will appear below.

As always, if you are contributing funds, you can suggest a poem you would like to sponsor, even if it isn't one of the pool targets. Any little bit helps, so even if you only have a small amount, you can still participate.

Targets:
I'm going to go for both China's Mistake poems and as many of the Rutledge poems as I can fund. I would also like to sponsor a Shiv poem, though which one depends on how much money comes in and where people's preferences lie. If anyone wants to join in, let me know and I'll give you the necessary paypal information.

EDIT 7/21/21: In light of new information and ideas, I am going to update and focus my target list.

New target list:
Open "Come Together to Learn and Create" for microfunding. $100 to start, more if more interest pops up.
Purchase "Getting to the Next Part of Yourself" and "A Spotlight Can Change Everything," $91 total at quarter price.
Purchase "A Vibrant Symbolm of the American Dream," $83.75 at Q.P. This is the next poem in the series of Rutledge poems about the Syrian food truck. It also frees up the final poem in that batch for posting, which is much cheaper and potentially doable for more people.
"Without Stable Shelter" will be the stretch goal, at $133.25 Q.P.

If all of these are met and there are still funds to go around, more money can go towards "Come Together to Learn and Create" and/or to any other poems that might strike someone's fancy. Buy all the poetry!

We're still thinking similarly

I'll throw in the $91 package. That will free up your money for some of the other things, and leave me able to pick up the poem I prompted last fishbowl with the current arts budget. I'm not entirely maxed out, but wouldn't want to go too much higher right now.

"Knitting by the Numbers" and "The People Who Give You Their Food" are both attractive and inexpensive enough to be possibilities. Either would be great.

I'll toss 20 at you to deepen the amount we kick off "Come Together to Learn and Create" for.

I'll toss in $25 for whichever. I don't recall your PayPal details.

Other than the ones already marked "purchase", I'm most interested in "Without Stable Shelter" (the stretch goal) and "Before the Nature Wants" (QP $53.50; total $186.75 for both). If we can get those, I'll toss in $250. I don't think I have your PayPal info.

Sent!

There's nothing else I particularly want more than the rest, so the extra going towards the epic (or anything else someone wants) is fine.

Thanks for running the pool! :)
