Crowdfunded Ideas You'd like to see completed
🕑 Added 2025-03-10 00:21:52 +0000 UTCRegarding the previous post, I want to get some feedback on stories that you'd like to see completed in the future. I'll list the current stories in limbo, and I'll ask you to vote on the ones that you're interested in. Please vote for every story you eventually want to see done so I can get an idea of which ones people are excited for/interested in seeing. If one of the ideas doesn't get a lot of votes, I might take off the WIP and shelve it for the time being. I have a few different ideas for monthly stories going forward, one of which is to work on a particular long story each month until done so you don't have to wait. But for now, your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Was not there a Board Game story?

after i get the book review, i may switch it out for you to finally get the story off the ground

It kinda seems there's interest in keeping everything and eventually making them stories, so I shall!

I really want the mutagenic planet story to take off
Gabriel Moon
Mostly I don't want to leave all these stories in limbo forever
Gabriel Moon
I'll be doing lots in the future that will give people a chance to submit their characters. I want to make that a focus on these larger crowdfunded stories, scenarios that don't need specific characters going into them

The stories I am most interrested in are the untiteled alien story -the cabin , because I liked annihilation -the prison and safari story. I would be more inclined to contriubute to stories I would have a cameo in or some other imput. but that is probably hard to do afterwards.
Falkie
I did not know that. I definetly do respect that perspective. well, cool then.
Gabriel Moon
personally I like working on multiple projects at once, if I get stumoed and come back, I often add to the story from a refreshed perspective and it really adds to the piece
Falkie
I speak of someone who does not have the reward tier of adding words to those stories, but I would prefere to focus one story down, one after another. I do not like the principle of splitting the attention. and I am not writing those stories, but I imagine it is better to focus one story down to stay in the mindset, rather than continuing them piecemeal. but I dont know how exactly you structure those finances, or how you feel about that.
Falkie
oh right, I forgot it was part of teh reward for higher tiers.
Gabriel Moon
yeah that is also true, that's why I want to take the stories that aren't getting love and make them a monthly story, or, put another way, 'crowdfunded' by you all
Gabriel Moon
It's more to give some reward for people that are at the higher tiers, as well as a way to make my own ideas into fruition. That, and often I do allow those funding to add a character
Falkie
and the 2nd problem is that once they go on for too long the interrest dries up and others become more popular. then you end up with multiple unfinished stories and too little to go around.
Falkie
the problem with crowdfoundet stories is often that, I personally would rather just finance a story for myself. to put it in plain speak. "why should I pay for a story if someone else could do it, and I save for my personal story." that is the thought I always have in my head. I would maybe pay if I had a say in the development in the story or a cameo, but I would not pay beyond the parts I have influence in.

I have a few different ideas of things I want to do for monthly stories, I'll talk about them later this week. A mix of taking a story that isn't being funded and write till its done, new stories that use people's submitted characters, short stories, themed months where the choices are all around the theme, etc
mistergamerz
So is the idea that instead of writing a couple thousand words for multiple crowdfunded stories each month, you would complete an entire story each month?
Gabriel Moon
It's just all the ones that are already works in progress, I'm trying to see if there are any I should purge before adding new ideas, and there will be ones that have more general tf themes to come. The alien planet one will have female characters and a nice array of changes, as an example
Osprey Hawk
Quite a lot of sausage fests in this list...
