That Fanfic Line’s A-Blurring
Now that the Silo series by Hugh Howey is ending, he’s opening it up to fanfic on Kindle Worlds. This is even more interesting as he cultivated his audience online.
I’ve begun speculating, as have my fellow MuseHackers, on just where fanfic is going to go now that Amazon is monetizing it. This of course gets even more intereting when you ask about social pressure to “fanficify” your work, or ways alternate works could be made. I mean if you think about it one book could been written and spawn FAR more fanfic than its original contents.

Thoughts On The Psychology of Crowdfunding
We’re no strangers to Kickstarter here. Hell, Rob is writing his own series on the experience (which you should be seriously reading just for the resources). Our friends are using Kickstarter. I interview people using Kickstarter.
There’s also other sources of fundraising. There’s Indiegogo. There’s Rockethub. There’s specialist sites from Gambitious for games to – and I’m serious – Offbeatr for adult (and no, no link sorry).
Even tightwads like me get into the act. I got my Ouya fully knowing it was more of a lab experiment than anything else, but it was worth participating. I’m waiting on several projects to move forward now and really enjoyed being a part of them.
