Yesterday I had a thought that I would like to share with you.
What do you think about community fundraising for scripts? Basically the community donates to a script creator, the creator releases the content for the mass. I know something like this already exists (excited?) on a Discord server, where people suggest a video to script, a creator says he would script it for a certain price, community donates, script gets released.
I would take a slightly different approach. I would determine a certain donation to be hit, and then release the script. Every time a goal gets hit, the next script gets released and so on.
What is my intention?
I’ve pretty much lost the motivation to create and release scripts. There is quite some time and effort in creating a script and releasing it for pretty much nothing in return feels like a waste of time. There so many cool videos I stumble upon where I think this would make a cool script. But I can bring myself to script it. Having some financial benefit, would definitely help the motivation.
I really want to make sure it feels worth donating. I don’t want people feeling scammed or being pushed to donate. Here are some ideas I have to make it a good experience for everyone:
Donation goals are not too high, I am thinking about $3. So every $3, a new script gets released.
I wouldn’t increase the goal to reach. There is no $3 for the first goal, $10 for the next goal, 15$ for the next goal and so on. Always in the steps of $3. Second goal $6, third goal $9 and so on.
There is no time pressure. I wouldn’t set a “this donation goal has to be hit in 12 hours.” Whenever the goal hits, script gets released.
I would put a clear theme to the fund raising. For example, I would script videos from a certain model / pornstar, a certain theme (blowjob, PMV etc.).
I would always announce BEFORE what video gets scripted. So you always know what you get next. Then you can decide if it’s worth for you to donate.
It doesn’t matter how much you would donate. $1, 50 cent, whatever amount is fine.
If somebody for example donates $9 right away, then three scripts get released.
Goals are visible for the community at any time. I would use my ko-fi for that.
What do you think about it? Do think it’s good? Bad? Does it feel scamy in any way? Do think it’s against the spirit of the forum?
Let me know your honest opinion on that.
Polls are there as well, because you guys love polls, don’t you?
What do think of the community fundraising idea?

Would you participate and donate for such fundraising?
I’d support it. I think it’s overall, if executed properly, it’s the best method to incentive quality scripts to be made. I’ve lost a lot of motivation with the hobby as well. Way too time consuming for too little return. However, if I need a large assed darker skinned lady scripted (rarity on eroscripts), I have to do it myself.
Kinda sounds like the concept of i think its called script pools. From what i remeber the discord that did it to get videos made by pooling together money from various people is dead. Would be a good way to bring it back in a sense. I will say this, definitely cycle what videos are to be scripted or else it could just turn into the same themed content being scripted. Aka vr videos, the same pornstar over and over again, etc. @Zoot i definitely would love to see more diversity in pornstars around here as well.
Thank you for the votes so far! Looks like the reaction is quite positiv.
Right. There was a phase, especially in the beginning, where you are really motivated. Because it’s new and exciting and you want to share it. It was amazing to enjoy your favorite videos in a new immersive way and it felt great and exciting to share it. But after some time you felt a bit, let’s say, down. The exciting wasn’t there so much. You became used to it. And don’t get much feedback or much response doesn’t help. I sometimes had motivations boost again. That was when a script of mind got a lot of attention like the “Eva Elfie tries a big cock”. That was such a big boost for me. Another of the first Aisha Bunny I scripted. There were always some “boosts” in motivation and I always searched for the next perfect video that could blow up again and that would gain a lot of views.
Yeah, you are right. Bringing some variety in is better, than just having the same kind of videos all the time. Since I would always announce the video I would script next, people will now anyway what they get. I’ll keep that in mind.
