We're happy to have you here.

Yay! This is one of the really cool things that crowdfunding can do. If you watch this community, you'll see announcements for projects that call for prompts. That's a good opportunity to ask for the kind of writing/art/etc. that you want to see more of. Let's see, I run a Poetry Fishbowl once a month, aldersprig periodically does microfiction, and ellenmillion runs the Sketch Fest. Others pop up too.

I like your art project and have linked to it from various places.

Thank you for the signal boost! =)

Let me know if you want me to boost the signal for the submission call later; I have a handful of folks in my LJ audience who are interested in mental and/or physical disability.
