Further further horrors of Kickstarter.
Jul. 3rd, 2014 12:04 pmI suspect that Kickstarter would be more thinly-populated if not for manic episodes with delusional features.
* A Christian fantasy novel with a $100,000 goal.
* Someone who wants $5,000 to start an ill-defined "self-publishing resource" company, for which they have a scribbled logo and no business plan.
* Someone who wants $10,000 to save the world using her music, or maybe her book?
It's simple! (Her album is about her cat.)
* Someone lost custody of his kid, wrote an angry fantasy novel about the evils of the court system, then berated Kickstarter for not caring enough about his problems.
He actually got more than £300. My educated guess is that this came from the other non-custodial fathers complaining about the corrupt court system on his website.

This is a God-given vision and many people might not understand the amount I'm asking for, but I'm doing what God asked me to do and how He asked me to do it! So, if you won't pledge, please pray for me!!!
I want to get enough pledges to print at least 5,000 copies of "S.O.L.A.D.(TM)" by Spring 2012.
I will also use the funds to conduct a successful marketing blitz that will shoot this Christian, Sci-fi novel to the top of every bestseller's list out there.

Risks and challenges: staffing, still working out a business plan but need funding to continue...
* Someone who wants $10,000 to save the world using her music, or maybe her book?
The composer's soundtrack album of songs to her non-fiction book she wrote, heals the world -- with YOUR BLESSING!
YOU CAN SEND ME ON WORLD TOUR TO SAVE PLANET EARTH WITH MY BOOK AND MUSIC, THE SOUNDTRACK ALBUM OF ORIGINAL SONGS, THAT WILL TURN ITSELF INTO A MOVIE BLOCK BUSTER HIT!
I just need to get noticed to make the right contacts - like Jerry Bruckheimer to make the movie and Katy Perry to play the lead !
The funding will pay for the marketing, the transportation/air fare, the musicians to play the concerts; housing and food; the miscellaneous fees and expenses for advertising and printing -- it's simple!

The unique challenge that his project faces is that nobody is interested in it and my attempt at finding subscribers is a total flop. If we don't reach the funding goal then nobody pays anything and the book doesn't get published. Which is sad for those of you who wanted a copy.
