Posting about Kickstarters? Yay or nay?

I've seen a few good ones, too. There was one that was a deck of "idea cards" that you shuffle through when you're stuck with your writing, things like "Kill a character" and "Change the setting," to jump start your thinking. It was definitely a writing resource. And certainly there are quite a few kickstarters that are fantasy-related.

IMO it's part of the industry and deserves a place. But it also means a lot of advertisements, and if someone's using it to raise money to write a novel, that's kind of a difficult venture that I'm not in favor of promoting. Many of them fall through even after raising enough funds, which would feel like we're leading people into a type of trap. And there aren't really other products that we promote - just a handful of books.

I would really love to hear more about cool new kickstarters, so you're not the only one. I just don't know if this should be the place for it or not.
