Frankenstein's Family Collection

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today I collated the collection for Frankenstein's Family.  Now this series will be available as a year-end perk for k-fans who have earned a single series collection.  Current word count is 25,400.

Could you explain k-fans, and the process of earning a collection? I'm interested! (Drooling!)

1) K-fans are folks who spend $100+ a year on my Poetry Fishbowl project, although I tend to count other stuff if they're also sponsoring the fishbowl. (I don't have any other projects bringing in that kind of money from sponsors, so that's where the main perks are.)

2) You've already earned a copy of the Polychrome Heroics collection, if I can get that assembled, in trade for reprint rights to the PH stuff you're writing.

3) Beyond that, there are currently three levels of perk for k-fans. $100 gets the single-series collection, $300 gets a half-year collection, and $500 gets the full-year collection of everything from the fishbowl. You're already over $100 but so far it's all Schrodinger's Heroes stuff rather than fishbowl ... not really sure how to count that.

Just keep counting. I'm fully intending to drop $40 a month until Christmas-- if I need to focus more directly on the fishbowl, *GRIN*, I'll also be combining prompts from your published cards.

About mid-October, I'll check in again while I still have time to steer funds significantly.

W00T!

I'd say put at least a little of that into the fishbowl proper, but not all of it. I don't want to quash what else you're doing, because I like exploring different projects and types of writing, and because having the money come at different times is helpful.

Maybe think about the half-price sales? You've prompted for a lot of poems that have yet to be sponsored; if you watch for those series to hit the half-price sale, you can get twice the bang for your buck. Activity is consistently lower then so it's useful to have more sponsors mid-month.

That sounds good.

For what it's worth, combining your projected plans with the current tally would put you over the threshold for the half-year collection. You get to pick whether you want the first or second six months. Or you can stick with the single-series collection if you prefer -- sometimes people want to trade down and that's okay.
