Vocal Creator ChatPublished 4 months ago in ResourcesVocal's Community Investment Round: On Being Both a Creator and Investor
As Vocal's Reg CF Community Fundraising Round approaches its January 31st deadline, we appreciate the insightful concerns raised by our valued community members. There is one question that we have seen pop up repeatedly across a few different channels: "Will investing mean a creator is unable to enter and win Challenges?" We want to address this concern head-on and allay any fears about the potential conflict between investing and entering the writing challenges that are so central to the Vocal experience.

I was there… but how reliable is eyewitness testimony, really? That’s the question GK Bird asks in a stylish winning piece with that title. This Down Under writer has placed as a runner-up in our Vocal Challenges, and then moved to second place, and now is finally in the winner’s circle, so big congratulations. “I know exactly what happened!” one character exclaims as the tale opens, but then we are given shifting perspectives on the scene, undercutting our assumptions and building suspense around ‘the incident’. Well done!

The villanelle is a complex and demanding form. As we said in our Challenge prompt, we’re so glad that our creators — another shout out to Mike Singleton - Mikeydred, Lauren Elizabeth, Sonia Heidi Unruh, Dane BH, and J.M. Powell — suggested that we run this one (please do put your own thoughts into the comments on Share Your Ideas to Shape the Future of Vocal Challenges!)

This week's Leaderboard looks a little different. We're fashionably late to the 2024 party, and we know it — blame it on a bit too much coffee or perhaps a few too many attempts at perfecting that Villanelle Challenge.
