It seems I’ve ended up on an every-two-weeks schedule for the linky. But stubbornly I refuse to stop blogging! I know my enormous* fandom needs me! That’s why they never comment, the emotional stakes are too high!
*I haven’t had any visitor numbers for this blog for several years, so I think it’s reasonable to presume that over that time my audience has grown ten-thousand-fold.
Huge numbers of us are now writing for an audience – thinking in public. And this is changing how we think. Svend sent me this noting it was part of why he writes up reviews of every film he sees at the film fest each year (he sees LOTS of films) – and it’s the same reason I [used to] use this blog to talk about things that bugged me or were on my mind. Writing for an audience here helps me think things through, to assemble a mess of thoughts into a structure and take it a few more steps than I can manage otherwise.

I am 90% sure that these dinosaur-human erotica books are a prank, and not a genuine expression of someone’s weird fetishes. They just seem a little too contrived. But still. [EDITED TO ADD: ayup]
Archive of classic comedy monologues, particularly lots of Vaudeville standards.
The great American novel has already been written, and it was the first 27 years of the Fantastic Four comic.
