A PRO-independence blogger is urging Scots to come up with "brilliant suggestions" for a new poll.
James Kelly of ScotGoesPop will be running a new poll ahead of a No-Deal Brexit and his fundraiser is at £5432 of its £6000 goal at the time of writing.
He thanked the Yes movement for supporting the campaign, particularly National columnist Paul Kavanagh, author of the Wee Ginger Dug blog, who suffered a stroke last week.
"I was particularly grateful to Paul Kavanagh for spontaneously helping to promote it, literally just a couple of days before he was taken ill," he said.
"It was great to see him in such good form in his telephone interview with The National the other day, and I know that all our thoughts and good wishes continue to be with him as he recovers."

Kelly said the poll will be commissioned between now and mid-December but he isn't sure what question to ask.
He went on: "Now is certainly not too early to be thinking about possible questions, so if you have any brilliant suggestions, please leave them in the comments section below."
Kelly also asked for Scots to suggest who would be president of Scotland if the monarchy was abolished.
He said: "I'm looking for serious nominations, mainly - I'll be interested to see if we can demonstrate that we can produce Presidents that are just as good as Ireland has managed of late.
"And remember that even if we retain the monarchy, we'd probably still need a Governor-General, which amounts to the same thing apart from the lack of democratic accountability."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
