and we can win it with your help!
It's time for the Second Annual Groovy Awards honoring the best (or grooviest) web series and performances of 2012 as well as the hottest hunks (see above pics). My only rules for consideration are that a series had to have aired at least two episodes this year - and, of course, been featured as a Web Series Worth Watching.
Now it is up to the readers of DEEP DISH and the fans of the nominated series to select the winners by voting in the ballot below. Voting will end at midnight on Saturday, December 29, and the winners will be announced on Sunday, December 30 - along with the first series to be selected for The Groovy Web Series Hall of Fame.

KICKSTARTER: The After Effect!
Vince: What does it say?
Ellie: We are being sued...
[Handing Vince the Summons]
Vince: I only see your name on it!
Season 2: Episode 1
-------------------------
OMGosh! you know the story of Fumbling Thru The Pieces the
making of..., right! (smile) - so I will try to not rehash the same story
again...
As you know we have had a delay in the release of
Episode 2
of Season 2
"The Feature"
Fumbling Thru The Pieces
- and that, I am
chalking up to the KickStarter Effect...
The unexpected by-product of
"Crowd Sourcing".
Season 1 of 'Fumbling' had its Successes! We got a full
twelve Episodes produced and distributed (if Youtube is Distribution?), but we
also had some issues! Let’s not list or relive those issues, and unknowns that occurred, but we are aware that these things happen.
Heck, an outfit like ours which is
comprised of friends, industry professionals, and the best actors in the world!
This is just amazing! - There is still a lot of things that we did not know and have learned quickly. With that said the effort and pride that we have maintained to
bring you the best 'Fumbling' that our bones will allow - IS OUT COMMITMENT TO
YOU!...
So, with our own issues of quality product, being a must! We
insist that you get a well written, imaginative, entertaining product with
sound, with consistent color, with Sharp cuts - and anything else that we can
find to make it better! – and then we run into The Kickstarter Effect...
THE KICKSTARTER EFFECT is that additional standard of excellence
that is related to everything that has been done for us to make Season 2
happen. Every friend we have has done something for "Fumbling' - Thanks!
(smile) Everyone we meet gets the 'Fumbling Thru Stick!', and well you know us
from Twitter and FaceBook! But what was done for us through our Kickstarter,
has value to us! A great value! and dang-it that is a doubling effect on our
very best + 1000%... (smile)
We will keep you posted on the status of the next episode - and are looking forward to getting you that episode as soon as possible... (smile)

of our loveable and dysfunctional
friends,
that make up Fumbling Thru The Pieces…
(smile)

It Start again…
We Present (TA-TaTa Dah! )
Fumbling Thru The Pieces
Season 2
(The Feature - WebSeries)
~~~ * ~~~
from the craziness of Season 1:
Jesse – leaves her husband and arrives in Los Angeles, which
is a bit different then Ohio!
Elle – a Psychic with a past, a Husband, and friends and
neighbors…
Vince – The Husband, with depth on so many levels and not so
much… (smile)
Shara – The Neighbor, a frequently murdered movie actress,
who has a past, present, and suspected future…
Barb – Could be a troubled girl, that is just your best friend…
Stella – the shrewd, no nonsense business woman
( Non- @AvaAssistant bio’s are available
on our web site http://www.fumblingthruthepieces.com/ )
~~~ * ~~~
The story begins in Season 1,
(you will need Season 1...
Trust me on this!)
I know you caught it!,
watched it!
– Liked, followed, added,
and friend-ed it!
But just in case "re-cap" it!
~~~ * ~~~
So, you ask:
“Ava, what can we expect in Season 2?”
Well,
besides getting me killed if I divulge to much about
of what is happening,
Or actually anything about what is happening...
we have some of the most amazing people joining our cast:
Michele Lee
Christian LeBlanc
Bobbie Eaks
Dale Raoul
Jason Stuart
There was an interview last Friday
(10th August
2012),
which will provide “approved” insights
into what is in store for Season
2. -
Thanks SoapCentral.com
Interview: http://bit.ly/PS5Vyo
for an amazing
interview...
~~~ * ~~~
LAST-LY:
– Another story was occurring at the same time,
we created Season 2.
That story is of the dozens of people who donated their
time, interest, funding,
and best wishes to help us create Season 2.
We don’t forget,
we appreciate you every day,
and you are the best part of
Fumbling Thru The Pieces…
Cheers to you,
for what you have
helped accomplish!!!

84 Backers - A Kickstarter Tale (Part 3)
84 Backers - A Kickstarter Tale (Part 3)
- The Referendum Movement! –
1 dollar, 1 vote!
Hi! @AvaAssistant here...
I am almost DONE!
The Referendum Movement!
1 dollar (US) - 1 Vote - 1 Fan at a time!
These "Pledge Drives" are probably the most under rated of all of the activities that we do! - And that is because we use them as intended.
They are intended to rise funding in a short period of time to accomplish the project. The 84 backers of our "Pledge Drive”
- have no idea
how appreciated and respected
they are to us -
they get the vision that we have!
And not only got the Vision,
they are willing to help
- Truly amazing people!!!
(smile)
(Donna Hurst and The Hurst
- LA Web Fest 2012,
BEST THEME SONG)
But imagine a time
when the Goal is $X0,000 dollars,
and that project reaches
that goal with X0,000 pledges.
-*- That project is talking to people! -*-
-*-That project is a project of the people!-*-
-*- That project is liked and respected,
in the project community! -*-
- You would not be paying
to Vote your acceptance
or like-ship of a project,
you could and would help a lot of projects.
In the WebSeries Community
- your $1 dollar (US),
which is part of X0,000 other $1 dollars (US)
give us the funding that we need
and the encouragement to continue.
(DIANE DELANO
- LA Web Fest 2012,
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS)
Okay, not every project that asks for funding,
you are going to want to fund.
And for sure,
you have not seen every project
that asks to be funded.
And you may not
even be interested in a project
presented to you,
But the ones that you are connected to,
need you!
Need you all!
NEED US ALL!!!
<<<<<***** >>>>>
This idea that
"BIG PLEDGES"
are need to fund a project,
is insane!
“I
@AvaAssistant being of Sound Mind
(Rihanna S&M, is playing right now),
most of the time...
can say,
that X0,000 votes
(whatever the Goal amount is)
for our project is,
would be,
could not get any better
(after the funding goal)
- then AWESOME!..
(Hillary B. Smith
- HollyWeb 2012,
BEST Actress)
It’s the chocolate, whip cream, cherry and nuts
- on any pledge drive...”
I'm just saying!!!!...
So, please consider!
The next time you see a pledge request,
and it’s a project you have watched,
a project you like,
"Take a Stand;
and give that 1 dollar (US),
give that 1 vote
- be THE REFERENDUM!!! - “
~~ * ~~
Okay! I am done!
Can someone please move
this "soap box"
- okay, I might be standing on the couch...
So, we are good! (smile)
You know! (big smile)

84 Backers - A Kickstarter Tale (Part 2)
84 Backers - A Kickstarter Tale
Hi! @AvaAssistant here...
Premiums:
Why does NPR (National Public Radio) offer Premiums?
Because it works!
- I am an NPR Addict... so, I know their "Pledge Drives"...
During our (Fumbling Thru The Pieces) "Pledge Drives",
I would think to myself,
Would NPR do this?
Would NPR Say that?
- would NPR take off for a weekend to go to Palm Spring?
(and to that one, the answer is yes! (Smile))
- in an NPR "Pledge Break", that last about 5 Minutes,
there are a lot of words,
perfect for all of the content you will need in the “Twitter-verse”.
They stress the brand (NPR),
the content (why you come to NPR),
they tell you the difference between them
and anything else,
they "ask for your help",
and they tell you the Benefit to you...
and they offer you a premium, something unique-ly there’s...
We have autographed pictures, and DVDs,
opportunities to be on set,
phone call from our cast.
This is what we have that might be of value;
to someone that is a fan.
It shows that your pledge, has value, to us, and in return we have something of value to exchange...
Okay, okay!
~~ * ~~
The one thing I wrestled with
was statements like
"Well, if I can't get a dollar from you,
I don't know about Season 2!" -
Just bad!
Just not true!
Statements like this are just a reason to not trust in your commitment to the project!
- Our project was up on Kickstarter with "the full faith and confidence" that we would be funded (the end, period!!!).
And that does not include
"my new bald spot from pulling your hair out",
but we knew that if we worked on this (fundraising)
as hard as we worked on our project,
it would happen
- there is no chance that Season 2
would not be made
- and our 84 backers,
"You are right!, let's get this thing, done!"
~~ * ~~
And The Twitter-verse...
(not at the exclusion of any other Social Media sites...(smile)) –
The valuable thing you have
when it comes to the “Verse”
is the assistance that your team provides!
The people who will Re-tweet you,
who will say to their Following/Follower
- "Hey, here is something you should help with!”
These Fans and Friends will step up and help,
because they believe in what you’re doing!
The message you convey should start with the
"About This Project" section
of your Kickstarter -
build awareness of your efforts, goals,
the vision of what and where you are going.
“Take your message to all of the corners of the earth"
with the “Hash tag Searches” ( # ).
- Now, the danger here is in too much.
The phrase
"TAKE YOUR MESSAGE TO
ALL OF THE CORNERS OF THE EARTH"
has a lot more letters than
"REPEAT THE SAME THING"
(yep! a lot more letters... (smile)) –
There are those 'Thursdays'
when you cannot think of another way to describe the premiums that you have available.
That works!
Put what you have back out there.
But to put
"Donate XXXXxx YYYYyyy zzzZZZ"
every 5 minutes, all day for 21 days
- will alienate people...
Anyone in the 'Verse' for a very short period of time
knows that it can be tough to "invent" new thing,
all the time...
So, work with what you have.
Talks to your friends,
Listen to what other people are saying about your project,
go back to the Facts of your project,
and it will be fine!
Fumbling Thru The Pieces!!!! )
Lastly on this subject
"YOU HAVE TO ASK!"
- If you are not asking, what are you doing here? -
Okay, so you
- Tweet (140 Chars),
next Tweet (140 Chars),
Next-er Tweet (140 Chars),
and on and on
- but why are you telling me all of this? -
Heaven help me!
– “what do you want me to do?” –
be subtle, be blatant (without a threat or doubt),
but you must ask...
Oh! I was wrong! That was not the last thing...
(smile)
We talked about the site you are operating from, right - always, but always, but always mention the site...
So, you say " Fundraiser - for my project, please help!”
– Really! --
" Fundraiser - for my project, please help! #Kickstarter ”
at least I know you are,
I am hoping you are running something legit!
(smile)
- Always, always mention,
okay always, always, always mention
your Kickstarter or Indie-go-go site
- and the link.
~~ * ~~
The "Link"! –
is the start of every message you send out...
("I know! and the link is at the end, of the message!
Who knew!")
- Simply, I am asking you to do something,
and not giving you the tools to do it with,
if I leave out the link!
- Sometimes I will see something interesting,
and there is on link,
I move on!
(sorry, but true!)
- Sometimes I will see something interesting,
But If I have to go,
to 4 other links to find what you are talking about,
I am done...
(even if I find it…)
~~ * ~~
The link to the 'Action' you would like me to commit,
is need!
Since all links these day are “shrunk”,
telling me where I am going, gives me confidence that you are being honest with me…
and asking me to help,
it gets me to thinking that
I can help and be a part…
and mix it up a bit...
Use Different Themes, tones, in you message.
~~ * ~~
WOW! a lot to say about this... (smile)
Sorry, but I wish I could have found this when we got started...
-------------------------------------------------
Okay,
