Why do you need $25,000?

Does anybody find this even remotely funny?

Also, PDF.
He wants money for a pdf which costs nothing to make. Hahahahahaha, fucking lazy nigga.

>> No.2921020

Why don't you just write the book? That's usually how these things work- write a book, find an agent or self-publish, then receive any income from it. No one's going to give a stranger money just because he has an idea for a book like every other fucking person on the internet. We could just go read Oglaf and get our fantasy dick jokes for free.

>> No.2921035

Normally when authors ask for money on kickstarter the novel is finished or almost near completion. The costs are then known to go into publishing and so forth.

You are essentially asking people to give you 25,000 for a story idea which is ridiculous. If for some insane reason you get enough money then you will have to fulfill your pledge otherwise you will face a hefty legal lawsuit.

Tell that to Animal Collective's DEAKIN

Also, the thing about this is that he can make a PDF of a very shitty novel and send it out.
$25,000 later he wont give a fuck if people drag his name in the mud.

OP, that is one of the worst ideas for a novel I've ever heard. You should be trying to get people to give you money not to write it.

Rainbow turd with no sense of humour. It's painfully obvious the guy put in a goal of 25,000 only to make sure he'll never reach it - and everyone silly enough to back him gets refunded.

Yeah man, ink and shit is prolly expensive.

Also, if I wanted to give money to an egotist with a domineering sense of self worth I'd give money to the homeless outside my flat. At least he screams when I pay him.

That's exactly how writing works, you silly goose. It takes an average of about seven years to become a full time writer from your first published novel. You don't just announce you are now officially A Writer one day and expect the world to fund you for the next few years in hopes you will produce something. Take a look at author biographies some time- unless they're lucky enough to be rich or married to a wealthy partner, they typically wrote their debut novel in their spare time while working at something else.

Even then I don't really get it. Unless I'm wrong on this... you can format your masterwork and sell it on Amazon without much in the way of costs, right? What would you need Kickstarter for?
