This week, ysabetwordsmith is having a Half-price Sale in Polychrome Heroics. I will be focusing on the Trichromatic Attachments poems this time, starting with "Our Power to Change," which is $168 at quarter price. "Bad Turn to Good" ($36) will be the stretch goal. As always, joining the pool automatically gets you quarter price and if you are contributing money you have a say in the targets. This can be especially handy if you want a poem that is under $100 but still out of range at half-price; joining the pool cuts it in half again.

I will be closing the pool Saturday evening EST, in order to collect the funds and deliver them to Ysabet for Sunday. If anyone is interested, feel free to comment here or PM if you have questions or would like further details.

I'm also interested in the Mercedes poems, especially the second (pricier) one. "A Bit of Comfort and Kindness" is $22 at quarter-price, and "One of the Best Ways to Fight Crime" is $76.75.

Think I'll open with 1/4 of "Our Power to Change" ($42), half of "Bad Turn to Good" ($18), and "A Bit of Comfort and Kindness" ($22), which totals out to $82 -- feels about right. Will consider further contribution depending on who shows up with how much. Absent further action, I can swing the Mercedes money into the Trichromatic Attachments buy to get closer to getting the two poems there.

That sounds good to me. I have about $100 to spend this time around and I'm happy to shift it as needed. I'm on board with the Mercedes poems as well, so hopefully we can get some other takers to cover the rest.

Good to hear. The two Trichromatic Attachments poems you wanted were $204. If nobody else shows up, I'd probably up my buy and settle for those two. If another $40 or so shows up, that would make me comfortable putting "A Bit of Comfort and Kindness" back into the buy, and then the pool could start chasing "One of the Best Ways to Fight Crime".

If no one else shows up, I would also be okay with "Our Power to Change" and "A Bit of Comfort and Kindness." And to avoid stranding "One of the Best Ways to Fight Crime," we could open it for microfunding; I have a bit of wiggle room for price.

All just tentative plans of course. I'm happy to wait and see what happens before making final plans.

janetmiles just bought "A Bit of Comfort and Kindness," so you can cross that off your list. I know you wanted to avoid marooning single poems, so you've got an opportunity to switch to the other Mercedes poem if that also interests you.

Thank you for letting me know! We are indeed interested in switching to the other Mercedes poem, and have enough funds to do so. I will send everything along in the morning when I can make sure I won't make any mistakes.

Yay! I look forward to seeing that.
