Signal Boost

[fuzzyred]

There is a Half Price Sale in Polychrome Heroics this week. Boost the signal for the sale, and you can reveal a verse in one of the linkback poems.

I am willing to run a pool this time, if anyone is interested in joining me. I have about $80 this month, though I do have a little extra as back-up if it's needed. All of the poems are awesome, and I don't know where to start, so the target list this time is more of a wish list. If you are interested in contributing, simply let me know which poem you are interested in and I will direct money there. And as always, if you just want to join the pool for the quarter price discount, and you can pay for all or most of your poem, you are free to pick any poem you like.

Target/Wish List
*"The Paramount Importance of One’s Fishing Companions" Sale price (SP) $71.50, Quarter price (QP) $35.75
*"The Mother of Trees to Come" SP $78.50, QP $39.25
"Often the Beginning of Great Enterprises" SP $104, QP $52
"The Mixture of Spices, the Subtle Flavors" SP $92.50, QP $46.25
"Who Chose the Darkness" SP $68.50, QP $34.25
*"Selected as Staff" SP $50, QP $25
"More Valuable Than Money" SP $21.50, QP $10.75
"Two Thirds of Our Miseries" SP $42, QP $21
"Play with a Sense of Destiny" SP $72.50, QP $36.25
"Inside of Him a Piece of Good News" SP $85.50, QP $42.75
Grand Total: SP $686.50, QP $343.25

I know this is giant list of poems, but I really am having a hard time deciding. And if you have your heart set on a poem I didn't list, just tell me; all the poems are great this time. I can get two or three poems on my own, depending on which ones I choose, so exact picks will be influenced a lot by other pool interest. Let's buy some poetry!

Worth mentioning: I usually list threads for which there are 2+ poems, unless I have a lot of singles piling up. That promotes variety as different threads get featured over time. But it also means that single poems can drift in the background for a long time without getting featured.

Therefore, if you can buy out a thread's current poems, that avoids leaving one hidden for a while.

Interesting. Having as complete a story as possible at the moment is one of my big sponsorship drivers. (Increasing the number of poems that can be published is another, which is why I often target prerequisites.) This encourages me to keep tabs on what I'm buying to avoid orphaned poems.

Yeah, there's only one prequel-sequel pair at the moment, not like when there's a whole chain of things depending on each other.

Having batches of related poems published at the same time can make it easier for readers to follow a storyline, too.

I only have a handful of folks who tend to buy in big batches, but I figured this might help you make decisions.

That is something I will keep in mind for the future, and as I allocate the funds at the end of this sale.
