Just introducing myself. I'm new to the forum and would like to take a greater part in the crowdfunding community!
I have just launched my 2nd crowdfunding campaign. My first was two years ago — I had raised $13K for a horror short called 'TIL DEATH, which has since been made and delivered — and picked up a few awards, too! But I was thrilled with the whole Kickstarter connecting-with-the-fans aspect of the whole thing, and I've been dying to do another campaign since then.
So now, I've launched a new one. It's a children's book called I AM FARTACUS! About a superhero with (ahem) farting powers. It was created by my 9-yr-old and we're working on it together. Now I HAVE to get this funded or I'm a bad dad.
It's been fun so far, but it certainly is different than raising money for a film! A different mentality in a different fan base. I'd love to hear everyone's take on it, and also hear from others who have crowdfunded kids' books before. Here's the info:

So that's what I'm all about. Thanks for checking it out and lending your support!
