Holiday Half-Price Sale

[fuzzyred]

The Holiday Half-price Sale for ysabetwordsmith is now live! I will be running a pool this time, and I have some holiday cash to spend, so I'm hoping to get a good amount of poems this time around. Anyone who joins the pool with me will automatically get the quarter price discount, so if you see something you want but couldn't afford before, now is a great time to go shopping. My main interests lie in Polychrome Heroics, but there are other thongs I like and I'm more than willing to chip in to help someone get what they want. I will have a general list of targets below, to be updated properly once I'm awake enough to actually check the prices and see where I'm at budget-wise. As always, if you can chip in at least some money, you are free to suggest a target of your own, even if it's not on my list. Or, if you like a poem I've chosen, you can sponsor that one and I will relocate funds as needed.

Tentative Target List
All Army of One poems
All Arts and Crafts America poems
Polychrome Heroics
Aquariana
Berretaflies
Iron Horses
Shiv
Pain's Gray (as funds allow)
All One God's Story of a Mid-life Crisis poems
If more funds come in:
Daughters of the Apocalypse poems
"A Desire to be Deeply Known," half-price $475.50

Yay!

That looks awesome. :D

Let me know when you want me to mark things on hold.

Bear in mind that "A Desire to be Deeply Known" is unlikely to get funded at full price, and won't always be included in half-price sales unless there's another Mercedes poem available or the single ones really add up. If it's of interest, you might want to nab it while you can.

Checking in

I will be back home Tuesday evening and can take a more thorough look then, but here's the general shape of what I'm planning.

Pending consideration of the arts budget, I will likely pick up all of Army of One, Aquariana, Iron Horses, and Mid-Life Crisis. Plus a bit more to open up "A Desire to be Deeply Known" per ysabetwordsmith's recommendation.

I will firm up details and confirm the pledge amount once I don't have to type on a tablet.

I'm in

I've got a set of targets that matches fairly well with your lists, so I'm in.

My main targets are An Army Of One, One God's Story, and Monster House, followed by Iron Horses, Berettaflies, Shiv and Aquariana.

After those, I have no complaints about helping out with the rest of your targets either.

I'll chip in $250 this time.

Whee!

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".

Can we make that work?
