Hi, frankly, this seems like a really poor decision on your guys part. I know you're not the ones who are running this LLC, but I'm wondering if you guys understand how badly this can effect the reputation of your company if this fan falls through with setting up their store, or fails to provide good quality.

You are promoting and giving an exclusive license, so ultimately the failure of this falls on you just the same as this person.

Some red flags;

This person does not have any logos, or proof of concept of their store. Just a slideshow presenting different images of goths. A scarf for a potential character actor, a sketchbook, some makeup brushes not produced by the vendor they're interested in working with I'm 100% sure, and no stuffed animals that they've claimed to make. Simply the promise that they will make one out of a bat sticker... Which they don't mention if it's even their own work. Basically zero branding.

While the idea for this buisiness with it's actors, models, vendors, and such sounds impressive and could be amazing if done correctly. It is also promising a lot while showing nothing for it. This person doesn't mention having any connections to the local goth scene, they never mention having even worked with character actors before; just that they have potentials lined up. They don't give an explanation on how they would protect their actors from unseemly fans, same for their models. Which you should consider pretty damn important, cause if a Heath actor gets assaulted because this person failed to have any plans for protecting their actor it's on you aswell.

Promises of fashion and style advice, no examples of their own skills in that. Atleast showing them dressed as their character might have given an idea to their skills.

Also, the use of Gofundme. AKA, a crowdfunding site that KEEPS the money if the project does not reach it's goals. These are things that should be more thoroughly explained IMO before requesting fans money.

All of this 100%.
