F***ing James Franco -- erotic stories about ... James Franco
"Amanda Palmer, Kickstarter and FUCKING JAMES FRANCO"
Ex-Dresden Dolls cabaret weirdo Amanda Palmer and her equally badass novelist husband Neil Gaiman are performing sold out show at the Moore tonight. She obviously has a fan base that loves her enough to be willing to chip in pretty excessively-the Kickstarter fund she and Gaiman used to fund the live recording of their West Coast tour was a wild success, (with 3,873 backers who pledged $133,341!) far exceeding their $20,000 goal.
Does it seem like everyone has a Kickstarter or Pledgedrive these days? At any given point I have Facebook invites for bands calling for tour support/record labels funding a pressing/photographers or videographers trying to pay for a shoot...If someone who can sell out the Moore at $22 a ticket is using it as a fundraising tool, does this mean that soliciting community support is going to be a part of developing projects in the arts from now on? I've talked to a lot of artists/musicians who think that this kind of funding is lazy and doesn't speak well of your product/art (“It's a racket... Whatever happened to just selling your t-shirts and records?”)
Conversely, if friends and community want to show their financial support, there isn't anything wrong with accepting free money to do something you believe in. There are a lot of really great projects out there funded by Kickstarter that might not have otherwise existed. For example, what about this project I stumbled upon called "FUCKING JAMES FRANCO," a rally to raise $2,000 to publish a book of hypothetical sexual encounters with the actor James Franco as told by various artists, writers and musicians. Do you really want to live in a world without a book of imaginary sex with Daniel Desario?? I'm not sure I do.
"FUCKING JAMES FRANCO"
Portland, Oregon-based Social Malpractice Publishing and Container Corps Art Press team up to bring you a publication that the world desperately needs. FUCKING JAMES FRANCO is a collection of erotic fiction that describes hypothetical sexual encounters with the greatest American actor, writer, and visual artist of all time.
In order to make these books as beautiful as they can be, we're reaching out to the creative community to try to raise funding. All funds collected will go directly towards the printing and perfect binding of a first edition of the books. The group of contributors features visual artists, writers, musicians, and more - all exploring their most explicit sexual fantasies with Mr. Franco. You know who's going to fucking love this book? FUCKING JAMES FRANCO.

HERE ARE SOME SAMPLES SO FAR:
From "Web of Desire" (Tobey Maguire + James Franco in Spider-Man)
"Looking up into his eyes, I took him into my mouth until I could feel him at the back of my throat. I felt him tense slightly as I reached my limit, then pulled back, coating his shaft in wetness so I could begin slowly stroking him to keep his perfect hardness. I took a moment to blow smoke on his balls and take them into my mouth one at a time, until all three were given the proper attention they deserved."
From "Two Lesbians Getting Stoned" (James Franco + the rock from 127 Hours)
"James fumbled around the left side of the rock and found a cleft. He grasped it, feeling the resemblance it shared with a hip in need of exfoliation. He rocked his hips against the stiff crag, drilling into its miserable, unfeeling surface.
There was no use: the path to climax was blocked. The rock just wasn’t enough to get him off, just like Hudson, who, despite his hunky stoicism and unflinching façade, could be a bit of a clumsy blockhead in and out of the bedroom."
(Hilarious, no, ONTD? I'd pay money to read this.)
(NOTE: Just to clarify, it's a group of artists who are behind the project. Some are responses to Franco's recent dive into the art scene and community. I'm guessing that a lot of them are meant to be satirical.)
