Hey everyone!

ysabetwordsmith is holding a half-price sale this week, specifically for the Shiv series of stories and poems, in which a determined young supervillain is slowly learning that not every other person is terrible or out to get him, some of them are actually really nice, and there are cool ways to use his power over sharp things that don't involve stabbing someone.

Since Shiv poems are generally long, I don't have enough to sponsor one myself, but I'd be happy to pool with any of you who are also interested in reading more about him. The easiest to raise for would probably be "If You Don't Have Experience Sewing" at 69.50, or "Intelligence Having Fun" at $108, but if we do break $100 we can also get longer poems at quarter-price. I'm interested in most of them, so I'm willing to be swayed by what contributors most want to get.

Any takers?

Sure, that works for me! I didn't see any posted and figured I'd better start one, but I'm happy to contribute instead.

OK, great! Pick a target poem and a dollar amount, and let me know what you're signing up for. Settle up via PayPal to my financial representative (will PM you the address once you've signed up), and

ysabetwordsmith will get the contribution and post the results.

Glad to have you aboard.

I was planning to spend $40-50, which currently works out to 30-37 in USD. That takes care of your hanging 14 and leaves 16-23, but I don't think there's another poem that would be finished at that point. The next logical one after the ones you've listed would be The Heart of Creativity, but even at quarter price there would still 34 USD left for that.

technoshaman just jumped in. We now have $37 available to fund another poem. The quarter-price leverage equates that to $74 of the half-price numbers. So adding your $30-37, and doubling again, means that we could add more poetry with half-price list price being $134-148.

So go ahead and pick something in that range that you'd like to add to the list. Knock $74 off its half-price list, and plan to contribute half the remainder. I will PM you soon with the PayPal handle to send it to.

Since ng_moonmoth is out of town until Tuesday, I will be running the pool for xyr. If you send your contribution to me, I will send it all to ysabetwordsmith, and we will receive our three poems. If you can send the funds before Sunday night, that would be greatly appreciated.

I will PM my paypal address.
