Got back from my trip, which was quite enjoyable for the event-related aspects and sightseeing, marvelous for being able to renew acquaintances in person with a large number of friends, and far surpassed even my most optimistic expectations on the personal front. And then I get back and discover that edorfaus is making a significant buy that intersects with my interests, and ysabetwordsmith's folks stepped up and covered a big chunk of my stretch targets!
So here's what I'm proposing. I'm going to designate $132.25 of my pledge to buy out the Aquariana, Berettaflies, Iron Horses, and Strike of the Thunderbirds poems, plus the miscellaneous Polychrome Heroics poems and the stand-alone poems. Then drop another $67.75 on top of that to open "A Desire to be Deeply Known", which will make it an even $200. I'm also sponsoring a December Fishbowl poem that I prompted, so that's probably all I'm good for.
Perhaps better, though, if those don't get marked off right away -- especially the small stuff in the miscellaneous piles. I'm hoping to encourage others to sponsor some of those, in which case the money I don't have to cover can be added to the opening amount for "A Desire to be Deeply Known".
Whee!

Can we make that work?
