This underscores one important point: unless you plan to rely on charity, you need to offer more in rewards than your goal. However, its creators are offering just $1780 in rewards. The only project now in pledge mode seeks $2000 to create an erotic alleyway mural. Funding used to be paid out through Dwolla, but is now sent via bank transfer at no extra charge.

Successful projects get 75% of the pledged amount or 80% if it's over $10,000. It's not enough just to draw comics in this case, those 170 voters didn't translate into backers. Those passing the voting stage have to put up a deposit, and hope they raise the cash. In fact, the first two projects to take payments were furry as well.

That's a different story.Ĭrowdfunding has proven very popular, funding projects from digital aardvarks, roleplaying rats and space-abducted foxes, to fluffy ears, Furcadia's 'Second Dreaming' and seemingly every other work by M.C.A.
