Fair warning: Once you donate to one Kickstarter campaign, it's likely to become an obsession. Your Scoutmob editor, for example, has already donated to more than a handful and so far, everything she's given her hard-earned money to has surpassed its original funding goal. Now, obviously, she can't take the credit for these projects being funded—that most definitely goes to the men and women with the great ideas—but she can vouch for the warm and fuzzy feeling one gets inside knowing that however small your donation, you're helping someone get one dollar closer to achieving their creative dreams. This said, here are three current DC-area Kickstarters worth chipping in for:

HELP A NORTHERN VIRGINIA FILMMAKER GET HIS SHORT FILM TO FESTIVALS


HELP A DC NOVELIST MAKE A MOVIE OF HER WORK STARRING ERYKAH BADU


HELP A WASHINGTON COMIC BOOK ARTIST PUBLISH HER WORK
