I am really looking forward to attempting to raise some money, but I'm torn between KickStarter, RocketHub and Indiegogo. Below is a short description of what our project consists of, it crosses genres, fiction and non-fiction, essentially we have two main thrusts to the website and our efforts:

Non-fiction: Reality, science, medicine, psychology, sexuality, etc. We have artists, doctors, scientists, free-thinkers, etc. We do NOT have religious nuts, crystal druids, etc; we'll discuss anything but we won't believe everything! The Core Reality Hacker videos give you a glimpse at a small part of what the reality side is going to be, and the articles and commentary I have posted also is this side.

Fiction: Based on reality and all the above with extrapolations into the past, present, and future. Of our current videos the Maniac Loveseat plays most towards our irreverent style we bring to psychological and scientific ideas placed into a fictional universe, we are improvising characters and ideas that may be a part of the eventual fiction. We also have the Lovecraftian influence, for one because his works are Public Domain, but mostly because his universe incorporates the fantastic in a manner that avoids the good/evil dichotomy so prevalent in most fiction. The Unknown Truth is very heavy into this area, with the idea that the forces that play on the universal stage have drives, impetus, and powers beyond the understanding or definition of good/evil. While most of our collaboration is setup to be online or cross online/in person lines, certain aspects we really need folks local who can take that in person step. I will be setting up munches soon!

We are taking on education, discussion, collaboration both local and world wide, societal preconceptions and prejudices, and creating new art. I hope you enjoy being part of the ride, like I said communication channels are coming back online soon and the forum/wiki aspects of the site will be reinstalled also. - HEX

I'm a spammer for posting something that relates to GMail Apps and if it can be used by a company? You're a troll. - HEX

Found out today Google Apps doesn't support .XXX top level domain, thought that was pretty strange since it was finally an official TLD. Oh well guess I'll be running my own email server instead of paying Google. - HEX of www.HEX.xxx

Bullshit that the MPAA/RIAA spouts has forced me to go completely outside the Hollywood system, and I have never regretted it. The success of Kevin Smith, Louis CK, Khan Academy, and in depth looks like This Film Is Not Yet Rated have been my inspiration. Check us out, we do both online and in person collaboration. - HEX

Also wanted to mention that Kaltura is pretty much the list of online video collaboration once we can either get it implemented on a VPS or hosted. (new YouTube editor is also surprisingly good for a web video editor) Currently we are running on a decent HostGator VPS with CloudFlare and MaxCDN, and I recently got a free trial node from VPS.NET to try new Wordpress configs on as well as examine moving from a single HostGator to a cloud VPS model. - HEX

Also perhaps you missed the Help Wanted and WTFAQ in the top menu bar? Granted I've spent more time working on the backend platform (and fighting with a faulty OCZ 128G internal flash drive) than I have on fleshing them out completely, but the project is still in it's early phases and the info there is decent and is mostly made up from bits that evolved in news posts. - HEX

Dude, come on is this a ploy to get pictures of female "models"? Have you gotten any to bite so far? I doubt it will work, but I wish you luck nonetheless. I seriously visited the links and couldn't figure anything out or find any materials except your essays and poems, which are ... interesting, but probably more suitable for a blog than for what you are claiming you are trying to do.

I do get pictures of female models via responses to my local advertising channels, but since those pics are not part of the project and I have no release for them I certainly wouldn't post them. They are comparable to what you can see on Model Mayhem or the CC Flickr nudes I use. However getting amateur models and actresses in my area is quite a pain, which is why we have been talking to professional fetish models trying to get a reduced rate for a shoot. Most of them have no issues with a Lovecraftian video shoot.

I pulled the Wordpress plugin based wiki down a while back so yes quite a bit of data has ended up in news posts while we considered other options. Additionally quite a bit remains to be transferred from notes and disparate locations into the website, once the backend is complete. Now we are back to implementing a full featured wiki even if we have to sacrifice single sign on between Wordpress and Wiki to do it. Not sure why you couldn't find any videos anywhere in those links, there are three separate video channels listed. (Although Funny or Die doesn't have all the videos, as not all our stuff is meant to be funny.) - HEX

Yeah, I think you're the one that's "a bit unbalanced" to be quite honest. Just because you're blowing money away on shitty indie films doesn't mean you're not "screwing around." Go spam some hipster site with your link diarrhea.

Of course I'm a bit unbalanced, I've spent over 25 years as a Windows admin contracting for National and International corporate migrations, roll-outs, and OS/application packaging. I then became so unbalanced that I then started this project while simultaneously working 9p to 5a writing and implementing custom migration code with an international team. I wanted a place to work on the ideas that I, as a long time science fiction and horror reader, had developed and discussed with a few very close creative friends. Frankly I'd take a /. troll with a brain over a hipster any day, but most can't handle not being an asshole long enough to actually collaborate on anything. You may enjoy some of the essays I have on the site, particularly The Fictional Lexicon which combines a Video reading of Roger Zelazny with an essay. - HEX

Not even close, but my link to verbiage ratio is a bit unbalanced. But then again it is meant to be a list of links and info to show we are not just screwing around, we are putting our own money and time behind the project. - HEX
