Now, this is something that I'll gladly donate my two pesos to:

I hope it works out for her. I know she has her problems but I get kind of tired of she and her fans constantly being referred to as lunatics. There's a lot more there, and she has so much talent and charisma, it just seems like so much gets in the way, some of her own making, some of this industry.

I wouden't give a dime to that woman and if u do your a fool

She's moved her campaign. I hope she succeeds. I'd like to see this show happen.

That is riidulous. She needs $50,000 to produce her episode but if she only raises $1000 she will keep the money anyway. To do what? Anyone who gives under these terms is foolish.

I agree with you to a point, Q. This time she is giving incentives to people who donate. There's a list on the right, so it doesn't seem as egregious to me, as people keeping the money without giving anything back. As a non rich person, any donations I make go to actual needy people and animals, but I still wish her success and luck. I can't help thinking this could be a drama gold mine.

Did she actually pitch this pilot idea around to the networks? I really don't understand trying to use indiegogo to fund what she wants to be a TV show. Web series or independent film yes but I can't see her making 50,000 off of fan donations.

Well, she made over $17,000 on kickstarter and she had a lot less time. She has 60 days to do it here and it looks like she gets to keep whatever she raises. I can see some super fans giving money for the meet and greets she is offering. Hell, one package even offers walk on parts on the show or some such. I'm guessing she has some wealthy fans out there who might shell out for that sort of thing.

Maybe she's going off the advice of Shemar Moore. His pitch for Kickstarter was worse than hers, imo and he didn't make his goal on Kickstarter and moved it to indiegogo where he made his goal easily.

Personally, her idea is at least more interesting than his snooze of a RomCom.

It sucks that by moving she lost a big chunk of money. The $10,000 bid alone was huge. I wonder if that person will resubmit their bid.

I posted a link some posts up about a board game that raised over $120,000 through kickstarter. It depends on how you pitch things. A couple of years back this graphic novelist kickstarted a graphic novel at an exorbitant kickstart and failed miserably. Her rationale was she needed money to eat and therefore was going to pay herself out of the kickstarter funds. I think she said she needed $60,000, and there is no way that was what was needed to produce a giant comic book.

She's on the latest cover of SOD. Anyone know the story to her almost joining Days?

SOD still refuses to spend much time and effort on quality pics, and proper editorial layout I see.

Maybe they were considering recasting Lexie. Either way, I can't see her doing much if she were on DAYS.

Do they even have a graphic artist? It looks like it's done by an intern.

She has a great interview, very detailed in the new Soap Uncensored. Some things she talks about:

- reuniting with Michelle Stafford and moving on from the drama at Y&R

- She has lots of praise for Bill Bell, Jack Smith, Kay Alden and Sally Sussman Morina.

- Nelson asked her why she hasn't appeared on another soap and she has no real answer, but suspects its because there are so few roles for black actors.

She compared Y&R to Peyton Place and overall it was a very positive interview. She's really excited about The Rich & The Ruthless.
