Members Eric83 Posted August 9, 2013 Members Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think the particular word choice came off wrong/unintentional , because I assumed something else when reading this. I'll just leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted August 11, 2013 Members Share Posted August 11, 2013 Well, she's raised $2,359 so far with 16 days to go. That's really not terrible all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted August 11, 2013 Members Share Posted August 11, 2013 I did a donation of $50. I hope she reaches her goals. The cast is looking good. She recently announced that one of the leads from the film The Heat is going to be appearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted August 11, 2013 Members Share Posted August 11, 2013 I certainly wish her well. I'd love to see her on a soap again. Whatever happened backstage, I've always found VR fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted August 12, 2013 Members Share Posted August 12, 2013 Is that a roll of life savers on her head? That is some stupid lookin crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 14, 2013 Members Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm really surprised that her fans haven't donated more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted August 15, 2013 Members Share Posted August 15, 2013 According to her Twitter someone just donated $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 It's sad that as she's started promoting it, her Kickstarter is doing well, but it just won't make that target in 11 days. She should've done it on the same platform as Shemar Moore, which allows you to keep the money even if it doesn't reach the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 Wouldn't that just piss off the people who donated? I guess there is also nothing stopping her from trying another platform to raise her money. Maybe she should go for a more modest goal next time? Not sure if you have to have such a large minimum, since I'm not familiar with any of these platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfave06 Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 I didn't know she didn't get to keep the money of the goal isn't reached. That's terrible. I would be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 When Shemar Moore did his, he raised almost 250,000 and he ended up losing all that because he didn't reach his 500,000 goal on Kickstarter. On the other website he used, he raised even more than 500,000 without the time limit. If anything, I'd be pissed if I was willing to donate (which in this case I did) and they didn't give the project my money. Even thought she's nowhere close to the 50,000, perhaps what money she's raised could be used in some way. I wonder what will happen when she doesn't reach the goal.

Members marceline Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 I don't see a problem with the artist not getting the money if they don't meet the goal. My money is going for a specific project. It's an investment that I expect some sort of return on, not a gift. If you don't have enough other support for that project and won't be able to do it then give me back the money so I can give it to another project with a greater chance of success. Otherwise, it's just too easy for someone to scam a bunch of cash off fans by promising something cool that they have no intention of doing and setting an unreasonable goal then keeping the donations they do get as a slush fund.

Members quartermainefan Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 Money is kept by kickstarter for the donor's protection. Had they turned over the $4000 or whatever to VR she would have no chance to produce the show and the donor would have no legal recourse to reclaiming their money. There really isn't much a donor can do now to reclaim their funds once turned over to the project, but at least kickstarter protects it until the project gets the amount needed. This project was to produce a board game: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/forkingpath/the-doom-that-came-to-atlantic-city/comments the game company took all the money, claims he spent it on whatever that was not the game itself, and now all the people are out of luck.

Members Chris B Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 Well that is a little different, because they did reach the amount, but still screwed the people over. Although I do see what yall are saying, now that I think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
