haikujaguar wrote a post about payment models for crowdfunding. She was specifically writing about fiction, but the "pay to vote" model she described got me thinking. I already do specific revisions in exchange for tips, of course, but maybe each tip could also count as a vote so that the sketch that has received the most tips gets another round of work...similar to my current perk for linkbacks. This is something I already track, so it wouldn't be difficult to implement using either the number of individual contributors, or the actual dollar amounts. The latter seems a bit less democratic, since it favours those who are most willing/able to spend money, but I do have other perks for non-cash support methods. What do you think?

linky!
