Novitious

Sfstory, one of the ‘net’s longest-running (if not the longest running) shared fiction universes online, now has a new home for its dedicated html archives. That home is… here!

sfstory.novitious.com

I finished my long-running resurrection of the logs over on my old Earthlink site, and decided it made more sense to host them here. After all, I might as well be doing something with this site, right?

(And hopefully soon, I’ll even have new Universal Solvents episodes coming…)

So, what have we learned?

We’ve learned that, whatever else I am, I am not an essayist.  I mean, two reviews in close to a year?  That’s it?  No analyses of current events, no outright weird speculation on conspiracies and secret technologies and suchlike, no strange fiction… bah.

To be fair, I have been busy, and I have been a bit better at updating over on my LiveJournal, Hypnerotomachiapet, but it’s safe to say that the, ehrm, vision I’d had for this essay journal is a bit wide of ‘realized.’ And that’s not likely to change.

Not sure what that leaves as for the future of this journal. I may change my mind and decide that yes, I do have a lot of rants stored up on politics and television and whatnot (especially whatnot — I can talk all day about whatnot, and what not to do with whatnot). I may get my ass in gear with the webcomic called ‘Novitious’ that I’ve had in the back of my mind for ages. Perhaps not.

But until I do have it figured out, I expect you won’t have much to read here. Sorry about that, but that’s how it is.

Hello, everyone. My name is Gary. This is my shiny new site. For the moment, I’ve decided to fashion it into an essay site (and by “essay,” I mean “ramble”). Should I ever get into gear with creating a webcomic, this is probably where it will go (since “Novitious” is what I’m tentatively planning on calling it).

But there’s a lot of other things that must happen before I can get to that. For one, I must finish my novel and shovel it onto a publisher’s slush pile.

In the meantime, this site will feature longer-form works that I don’t do on my livejournal. I used to do long-form works when I had a simple online journal, way back in the prehistoric days of 1999 and 2000, and even a couple years later when I was doing a blog via Blogger. I don’t seem to do that with LJ, and now that I have this shiny new site, I don’t need to.

So, figure on seeing reviews of books, movies, TV series, and such, along with meanderings on politics, current events, writing, and future technology. Maybe more, once I get the novel out and done with, sometime in 2007.

Thank you. This is Gary, signing off and heading for the tub!
