Charity Thing Update · 5:34pm Jan 9th, 2015

This blog will be updated frequently, so check back now and then if you're interested.

Okay, so. I know, I know, this is annoying, constant journals about this. But this will be the last one for a while, because it'll be a big one. You can make a donation to charity here, and scroll down to see what's available to buy. I'll update this frequently.

Here is what has been bought so far:

- Character Slot 1: Ariin
- Character Slot 2: Anonymous
- Character Slot 3: Ankaru

So there's lots available, and I'm rolling out a whole lot more available things today. Remember, there is NO MINIMUM DONATION required to buy a slot. You can pay me a penny. These are no longer auctions: only BUY IMMEDIATELY through your donations. That's why I'm updating this now instead of waiting for the tenth. This way is first come, first serve, but people can be more sure they're buying what they want.

I hate abusing caps. Yes that is caps abuse to me. When I briefly had a cellphone, to the frustration of everyone else, I would send paragraphs of text instead of texting properly. I admittedly did it in part to just annoy people and bombard them with a million little messages at once, but that's besides the point.

You can donate HERE! And remember, you're not limited just to this charity, any donation you give to ANY charity can be used to purchase a slot, for ANY amount of money. Seriously guys, let's write this story together, I'm giving you the opportunity to make me write about a polka-dot haired dragonborn raccoon that beats the crap out of a certain writer obsessed with black roses and norse mythology. We're. Crowd-writing. That's my new word. Let's crowd-write this.

Yes I badly need coffee.

Anyway, story elements are now available for purchase! Some of these will be priced, others will be buy for anything. Furthermore, I've decided that the donations I receive will affect the length of the story. I'm aiming for 150 000 words of what will likely end up either pure humor or pure horror. Well, every dollar adds ten more words, so that's 152060 words already. The cut-off for adding to the story will be in six months from now.

Currently Up For Sale:

Partial Character Buy-In:

You are paying here to "create" a character together. IE, if you buy the character's hair color, then you may determine that character's hair color. Once a slot is bought, it is bought. Slots can be bought for as little as a penny, but we'll all look at you judgmentally for anything less than a dollar. Three characters are going to be built from the ground up, so there will be multiple slots available, hence the numbers beside each "piece" that can be bought. If all slots for a character are bought, then I will post a drawing of the terrible creature we've created together.

Hairstyle: 1, 2, 3

Story Elements:

These are various parts of the story that can be bought and determined by you! Some of these donations have specific prices. These can all be bought multiple times over.

Determine what genre I treat the story as - Min 5 $ Donation: For five dollars, you can determine how I treat writing the entire story. Even if it ends up being a comedy of errors, for five dollars, you can make me write and narrate the story as anything from a suspense thriller to commedia dell'arte.

Add Specific Scene - Min 2 $ Donation: Want to see a specific scene in the story? For two dollars, buy a plot element and make me include that scene somewhere. Note that I will purposefully avoid writing anything too graphic or insulting.

Cameo - Want a specific character to make a cameo appearance at some point? Then buy this. The higher your donation, the longer that character will appear in the story, and the greater their interaction. (Less than one dollar, one sentence, more than one dollar, two sentences and brief interaction, etcetera.)

Henchmen For Hire - Buy a generic bad guy for the protagonists to deal with. The higher your donation, the stronger their foe. You get to determine their species and their class. Any donations over ten dollars can be more specific characters, and have a chance to be real antagonists for the story.

Negotiate - Want something else for your donation? Some other modification to the story that hasn't been mentioned here? Feel free to drop me a message and let me know, and we can discuss it and try to work it in to the story. Please note that once I actually get writing the story, there will be more things to buy as well, such as words for pennies and power of editor.
