Please stop sending me requests to plug your Kickstarter project or anything else crowd-funded. I know what you're doing is wonderful and that you have the talent and integrity to bring it to fruition and that it will be super-sensational and will change my life for the better. I also know that since 2013, I have backed and paid money to eleven Kickstarter campaigns and six more via other crowd-funding websites..and of the seventeen projects, I've received eight.
Some of those eight were quite good and they arrived fairly close to when they were supposed to be delivered and what I received was pretty much what was promised. But eight out of seventeen is not an acceptable percentage. One took my money in 2013 and another in 2015 and all I've received to date for that loot are some periodic e-mails detailing their problems and promising that the project is close to completion.
This has led to me becoming disinclined to ever order anything else that is crowd-funded; not unless it's the endeavor of someone I know really, really, really well. Just knowing them really, really well is not sufficient.
One item I backed but never received was apparently actually produced. It was a book and it didn't come and didn't come and didn't come…and then one day, I noticed someone on some web forum saying they enjoyed their copy. So I wrote to the gent who produced it and he wrote back that yes, he got it published and he sent them out to everyone and if I didn't get mine, well, that was just too bad. It was my fault, he said, for not letting him know I hadn't received it before he sold out of all his copies.
I still can't figure out how I was supposed to figure out it was published and everyone else was getting their copies. Such are the mysteries of crowdfunding.
