I said there would be another Cracked.com photoplasty contest. This time 43 people took on the most overused tropes in movie history (and some TV, too). I agree with most to all of them.

BW-Approved Patreon: Lean Into Artcast

Patreon is similar to Kickstarter or other crowd funding websites in that creators go to the public to get funds for whatever they’re trying to get made. Where Patreon differs, however, is that instead of collecting funds for one project Patreon allows people to fund creators monthly on long-term projects like comic series, continuous videos, writings, regular artwork, and other things. This isn’t a one-time payment but monthly payments, also with rewards.

Since this is a new avenue for creative types (and one I may well try myself with all my articles, videos, and comics, I want to point to Patreon projects that I want to see supported and continue coming out on a regular or semi-regular basis, depending on the creator’s time.
