Is there a site like FundMyComic for musical projects?

They do have a more generic FundMyProject site.

I read a sci-fi book about interstellar travel, only to have them turn around and return to earth. In the end it basically shamed the read for ever thinking it could be possible. At that point I promoted myself from a consumer to a creator.

Once upon a time, the voter could write in a candidate for the Goodreads Choice in the first round. They seldom progressed, but they could.

Now, you can't. You get their seeds and you like 'em.

Or, of course, you abstain.

Nicely done.

Corruption funded woke creators now weep if they aren't catered to, going into protected mode or going to scream therapy. They get praise and promotion for shoddy, even childish work. Based creators run on meritocracy and survive in a system actively looking to subvert them. How will the wokes fare now that their stolen crutches are being taken away.

The White men are self publishing from the start rather than wasting time with the very NPCs who are the enemies of humanity.

Also, this is another instance of Clown World inversion 0 gatekeeping keeps the parasites out, not in.

This is why I had to self-publish my book, The Rooster Rider, currently on sale for FREE (Kindle version) in the Based Book Sale.

It was clear to me after a mere 20 rejections that there were no publishers interested in putting non-woke work out there.

Good article! I've often thought that a of independent and small presses must be funded, as they obviously don't worry about balance or profit. Yeah, a DOGE for publishing is what we need.

Don't forget that soon the leather bindery for Castalia Library in Switzerland will be able to provide small quantities of fine leather books for our based authors, too.

Surviving and growing in such a hostile environment is a microcosm for the new counterculture in general.

It’s clear the extent that the inverted garbage has been directly funded. There’s no path to survive as they are post-DOGE. Any move towards more even competition will be as amusing a bloodbath as any “public servant” terminations.

Woke Women can keep the Big Five Lumbermills and the thin porn-centric gruel produced by them.

Indies will supply Men with the entertainment they crave.
