Poetry Fishbowl Report for December 3, 2013
Our theme this month was "angels & deities." I worked from noon to 3:30 AM on Tuesday, so about 13 hours 30 minutes counting breaks. I wrote 20 poems on Tuesday and another 5 later. Those covered all length categories, with a lot of medium poems this time. There were many stand-alones, and a fair bit of prompt-mixing.
Participation was enthusiastic, with 58 comments on LiveJournal and another 28 on Dreamwidth. A total of 23 people sent prompts. Please welcome new prompters DW users Stardreamer, Cirque, and Elizabethconall. You have them to thank for the second freebie.

If you plan to sponsor some poetry but haven't made up your mind yet, read the list of unsold poems from December. That includes the title, length, price, and the original thumbnail description for the poems still available.
All currently sponsored poems have been posted. Per the $200 goal, " The Saga of Eriksdottir" is your free epic. Per the $250 goal, this is the third tally so you get a mid-month fishbowl, which will happen in January. I'll give you a chance to pick the series then. Per the $300 goal, there will be a piece of bonus material posted.
Donors this month included: paka, janetmiles, baaing_tree, rix_scaedu, catsittingstill, technoshaman, the_vulture, Anthony and Shirley Barrette. Please welcome new donor paka whose presence helped earn the second freebie. The donor perk post is " Angels as Characters." Be aware that LiveJournal has somehow disabled alphabetizing on the Custom Friends Groups feature, which means I haven't been able to update the Donors list with new sponsors from December. Sorry about that. Hopefully they will fix it.
The Poetry Fishbowl project also has a permanent landing page.
