Yesterday night I posted a summary (and on LJ) of October’s Spooks and Creeps Giraffe Call.
Looking at incentives:
- Did the linkback story work for you? How could it work better?
- The story that is winning comments-for-a-settings-article is the one-off story Cunning Linguist
Would you rather that story, or the runner-up, get the settings article? - We’re closing in on my original goal of $500. What celebration prize should I offer when we get there?
- What prompt themes would you like to see in the future?
- What incentives work better or not-better for you?

I don’t think a setting article for a one-off makes sense, unless you are already planning to expand that… 5. I mentioned, turning comments into votes that might cancel each other out (“that which gets most” as opposed to “any which receives more than X”) throws me for a loop.
*nods* yes. (If I do “any which receives more than…” I risk really overwhelming my workload, though)
Yep… I was speaking in general terms, not suggesting that you do, sorry. At the moment I’m so overloaded with prompt calls that my eyes glaze over when I think of reading lists of various perks, so I’d even say “KEEP IT SIMPLE, PWEASE!”
Yeah, it’s gotten a bit full out there, hasn’t it? So… maybe just pare it back to the donation incentives?
Well, just don’t make it more complicated. 🙂
1. Yes, it worked for me. I wanted to read the rest of the story so I thought about how I could get that second linkback done. 2. We could make you make up a setting for it… [Where did I put that Dark Lady badge I got out of the cereal packet?] 3. A picture of the giraffe carpet?
4. That would assume I already had something in mind, in the way of theme, that I want to ask for. I don’t. The request for prompts is what triggers my idea of what to ask for. (You prompt me to prompt you, if that makes sense.)
Aah-ha! (my prompts for the last three have come from a personalized icon offer, a comment from Clare, and a prompt call someone else did that I wanted to take my own take on.)
I second this.
So noted!
I get overwhelmed with the sheer volume of writing. So I read it when I can – which means I think I missed nearly all of the September prompt call… This makes me non-typical. I would definitely want photos of the carpet. Before and after photos. Was the linkback finished? That was the one thing I wasn’t sure of. Good luck next month!
Okay, thanks! Yes, the linkback was finished.
