Brainstorming Panel Required

[neonlyte]

for literary project

I've been developing an idea whose time has come, in part because I've reached that 'now or never' stage in my life. The proposition includes a fee paying Literary service, though this is only one part of the project.

I'm looking to recruit people with imagination and brains to help me iron out the rough edges of the Literary proposal. Essentially this is concerned with scope, presentation, mechanics, subscription and authors fees. The bones of this section of the proposal are in place, I need a few people to bounce ideas off and help with the fine tuning.

There is regretably no money involved.

I'm reluctant to disclose details here for commercial reasons and ask anyone who wishes to contribute to contact me by e-mail at bookitnow@mac.com

 

[gauchecritic]

You have mail.

Ideas, I'm pretty good at, it's the actual doing something about it where I fall down.

 

[dr_mabeuse]

I responded.

Don't listen to Gauche. He loves working with details and getting things done.

 

[neonlyte]

Thanks gauche, mab and others. I've sent an initial reply, mail out details mid week when a few more folk have expressed interest.

Mi amor, don't listen to Gauchie or Zoot, I do proposals for a living. You know where I am.

I think you and I may have spoken of this before, I've brought plans forward. I'll e-mail the document midweek.

Count me in. I've given up meeting the demands of an insane administration anyway.

For the 'day' people. I'm out for a few hours, will contact anyone new who's interested later today.

 

[neonlyte]

I'm going to be a day late getting information out to the various people who've offered to brainstorm my proposal. I've just spent three hours standing in the cold with a locksmith - I don't believe further details are necessary.

Then take those shades off that smiley . You sad bugger.

love, C.

Documents have been e-mailed. It is longer than I wished and shorter than I expected.

No hurry on replies

The final page raises questions I'd like opinion on.

I forgot to 'personalise' the e-mails, don't take offence!

Many thanks.

Perdita - can you PM me an e-mail address, the one I have doesn't work.

EDIT: Thanks P and sent.

 

[neonlyte]

You people are fantastic! I've received some great and extremely useful responses. I'll be working through replies this week, and will reply to specific points each of you raise.

Thanks a bunch!

For those of you who spent time helping me formulate this idea, I expect to sign an agreement with a Venture Capital fund to develop the software programme later this month. We expect the programme to be launched on the iPhone/iPod and OSX platform in 15 - 18 months before porting to other platforms.

Many thanks for your support and encouragement, it's been a long road but hopefully all worthwhile.

Yay for you!!! I thought it was great at the time, and I'm so glad that it's bearing fruit for you.

And many thanks to you for your valuable input. It will be place to post stories for which authors will be paid according to downloads, the 'cream' will rise to the top.

Well done, the group of you!

A long and hard-working labor of love, it seems!

Congratulations!

Thanks SSS. It was as you say, the group who contributed were fantastic.


As a side note, I'm looking for people with OSX programming expertise. I mean serious knowledge of creating OSX applications. Spread the word, contact me by PM.

Congrats neonlyte, this all sounds very exciting. My heart skipped a beat when I read Perdita's name in the thread... oh those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance...

 

[neonlyte]

Ok... I'm waiting a conference call with the Venture Capitalists.

They've had my proposal since Friday, I received a message a couple of hours ago asking me to make myself available this evening.

Wish me luck.

 

[jomar]

Good luck! Keep us posted.

 

[neonlyte]

Good luck! Keep us posted.

Thanks, Jomar.
I'm a little excited and not quite sure what to do while I wait

 

[ms.read]

Okay, now you've got me hooked! How is the project going??? *waits expectantly with puppy eyes*

 

[neonlyte]

Well... the phone call didn't materialise.

Who was it who said 'No news is good news'

So I wait. It'll happen, I feel it in my bones that just this once, I've got the timing right.
