Someone has deigned to inform me of the answer to reduced arts funding. Its easy, they declared, just go and get corporate sponsorship like sports. Oh wow - gee, none of us ever thought of that before. However I greatly suspect that individual has never been trying to raise sponsorship funds for either sports or arts below the elite level (most likely not at all) or they would not have been so patronising. But far from me claiming to know everything so here goes. Dear manufacturer and purveyor of a certain sugary, caffeinated soft drink. I shall be the next Stephen King (albeit without the drug phase - have already gotten past that). You can trust me on that. And in return for your small contribution of $100,000 per annum, I shall have all my characters drink nothing other than your beverage and wear items of clothing bearing your logo. With projected annual sales of at least 1,000,000 copies with on average 543 explicit mentions of your product per book, that is 543,000,000 product, making this a brilliant deal for you. You can trust me on that. Thanking you in expectation of your cheque arriving my return post. Cheers
