    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;In between smiling winningly at the lot of you in the hopes you&amp;#8217;ll &lt;a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1959034636/faerie-blood-and-bone-walker-novels-by-angela-korr"&gt;help me with my project&lt;/a&gt;, I&amp;#8217;d like to take the opportunity to mention some other excellent crowdfunding projects going on. Because I believe in subsidizing awesomeness, not to mention arts patronage and signalboosting!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First, I give you &lt;a href="http://peerbackers.com/projects/we-see-a-different-frontier/"&gt;We See a Different Frontier&lt;/a&gt;, which is on Peerbackers rather than Kickstarter&amp;#8211;but the same general mechanism of crowdfunding. (Peerbackers collects payment via Paypal rather than Amazon.) This project is for an anthology about colonialism in space, but they&amp;#8217;re specifically interested in non-white, non-First-World perspectives, and it&amp;#8217;s headed up by Djibril al-Ayad, general editor of &lt;i&gt;The Future Fire&lt;/i&gt;, who I know via the Outer Alliance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Second, back over on Kickstarter, let&amp;#8217;s talk &lt;a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mkhobson/the-warlocks-curse-3-in-the-veneficas-americana-se?ref=users"&gt;THE WARLOCK&amp;#8217;S CURSE: #3 in the Veneficas Americana series&lt;/a&gt;, which is M.K. Hobson&amp;#8217;s effort to continue the series she started with &lt;i&gt;The Native Star&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;The Hidden Goddess&lt;/i&gt;! I liked &lt;i&gt;The Native Star&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.annathepiper.org/2011/12/24/book-log-36-the-native-star-by-m-k-hobson/"&gt;quite a bit&lt;/a&gt;, so if you like steampunk with a heaping side helping of romance and magic, you might go check this out!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Third, if comics are more your thing, you might check out &lt;a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/charles-d-moisant/whispers-from-the-voidtm"&gt;Whispers from the Void&amp;trade;&lt;/a&gt;, a project that came across my radar thanks to the Paranormal Mystery list I&amp;#8217;m on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And last but most assuredly not least, I&amp;#8217;d like to give serious plugging love to &lt;a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1051013401/mine-to-love?ref=users"&gt;Mine to Love&lt;/a&gt;, the Kickstarter by none other than &lt;a href="http://leannansidhe.com/"&gt;Leannan Sidhe&lt;/a&gt;, a local musician who&amp;#8217;s worked with (and performed with) my very own Dara! She&amp;#8217;s working to get her second album out, and I&amp;#8217;m here to tell y&amp;#8217;all, girl can &lt;i&gt;sing&lt;/i&gt;. She has an amazing sweet soprano voice, and so if you like music by oh, say, Loreena McKennitt, you cannot do wrong at all by checking out her work!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anybody out there know of other awesome ongoing projects you&amp;#8217;d like to promote? Link &amp;#8216;em up in the comments and spread the signalboosting love!&lt;/p&gt;
