[community profile] crowdfunding was created 9/9/10 and actively seeks new members.  This community exists to connect creative people and patrons of the arts.  Early posts offer background information on crowdfunding and how to practice it as a creator or donor.  Crowdfunded projects will be added to the community's Links list as people announce them, with priority given to projects hosted here on DW or at least run by somebody with a DW account.  

This doesn't closely match extant tags, so I made my best guesses.  I recommend adding "networking" as a tag.

What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding (aka Cyberfunded Creativity) is a new, growing business model. It allows creative folks such as writers and artists to sell their goods and services directly to online audiences. It enables viewers to support their favorite creators, which encourages them to produce more goodies. It cuts out the middleman. CFC can be done through blogs or personal websites, in assorted variations.  For a good example of a crowdfunding project, check out the serial [personal profile] wonder_city.

What this community offers for creative people:
Use [community profile] crowdfunding to promote your crowdfunded projects and reach a wider audience. You may explain how your particular CFC project works: what you produce, what crowdfunding model you use, what your perks are, etc. You can ask for people's input on projects or decisions when you aren't sure what you want to do. Discussions of CFC theory and practice, success or failure, are also welcome. All kinds of creativity are welcome: writing, art, music, webcomics, crafts, etc.

What this community offers for patrons:
Use [community profile] crowdfunding to find new projects to view and/or support. You may also share your exciting discoveries of projects that you think other viewers might enjoy. Give creators feedback about what kinds of methods or perks you like. Compare/contrast cyberfunded creativity with conventional business models. Full reviews of CFC offerings are especially welcome.

For service providers and seekers:
In cyberfunded creativity, the creator has to do or hire everything. Use [community profile] crowdfunding to find freelance artists, editors, programmers, etc. to handle aspects of your project that lie outside your own skills. Likewise, promote what you can do for potential customers. In both cases, mention if you're open to barter -- this works especially well with matched skill sets such as swapping writing for art or editing for writing. Post thoughtfully and don't spam.

It's high time the woman who set the standard for "Smart is Sexy" got some lovin'!

[community profile] scully_slash  is where that beautiful redhead of the X-Files gets to have the fun and lovin' she never got on the show. Dana Scully set the standard for "Smart is Sexy!"

Here we give our dear Agent Scully lovely, loving women to spend time with and fall in love with. Since the show didn't really provide much opportunity for Dana, crossovers and original female characters are not only allowed, but desired!

Action, romance, fluff, smut, case files, etc. The kinds of stories are endless... as are the lovely women out there who can be paired up with Scully.

So if you have a drabble or an novel, G-rated or NC17 smut (and anything in between!) featuring Scully slash, this is the place for it!!!

Please come join in the fun at [community profile] scully_slash!

(I am shocked now. I can post by being merely a subscriber, not a full joined member.)

I'm respectfully plugging [community profile] bakuman, a community for fans of the manga (soon to be anime) series BakuMan, by Takeshi Obata and Tsugumi Ohba, the Death Note duo.

To those who don't know it, BakuMan is the polar opposite of Death Note. It is the down-to-earth adventures of a writer/illustrator duo in making their big break into making a famous manga with an anime version. Part fictionalized biography, part insider look into the Japanese comics industry, part how-to-make-manga tutorial, all interesting and fun.

It's a newly-made comm so not much is there yet, but all kinds of fan love is accepted.

Well wonder no longer, good dwenizen! [community profile] gilliananderson is here for all your Gillian Anderson needs. (Okay, maybe not those needs. But all the rest.)

Come, join, post, comment! Make [personal profile] tree stop talking!
