I boosted the signal on DW. May I have a verse in "Spirit of Truth," please?
I don't currently have any intentions of running a pool, but I suspect I will end up snagging one of the cheaper poems, or dumping money into the open epics.

Your new verse is up. :D

We don't really need one this time, unless people want to fund a larger poem they couldn't afford singly. Without the quarter-price option, it's not as helpful or attractive to bundle up.
Remember these need to be posted in order. The first one is affordable, the second one about average. None of these are really huge, especially at half-price.

OK, here's the deal. I'd like to try and get at least two poems published; for now, that would be the first two. But every time someone pledges enough to cover the least expensive of the two currently unpublished poems or the one just after those two, that next one goes on the target list. And so on until they all get out.
To show how this works, the first two right now are "The Seeds of Civilization" ($41.50) and "Beads and Mirrors" ($160), with the next one up being "The Eyes of All People" ($82.50). So pledging $41.50 would result in three poems being published, and make "Just Starting Down This Path ($40) the next target -- and $40 the next contribution to add another target poem.
Folks, this is a really cool series. ysabetwordsmith took a prompt of mine and spun it out into the beginning of an enthralling alternate history. Please come and help me get it out there!

Oh, that's a clever idea! :D

Aww, shucks. I'm glad you like it so much. I'm having fun with this series. And I keep being startled by how the local tribes take some resource and use it creatively.
OK, fuzzyred got things started. I'm now looking to fund "The Eyes of All People". If anyone is up to throwing in $40, I will add "Just Starting Down This Path" to the list.
