At the bottom of posts, as of today, there are now a series of buttons just before the tags. These buttons are quick one-stop-shops to Digg, Facebook, del.ic.ous, and other stuff like that.
There are there to make it easy for folks who A) use such things and B) like one of the stories to spread the word. If they wish. No harm and no foul if people don’t have an interest in doing so.
Thanks as always!
Edit: Hrm. Though I can’t say I like that it throws the buttons at the bottom of RSS feeds on those (rare) posts where I don’t have a cut between the introduction and the story. It looks kind of ugly in the feed.
Ah well. I can cope. I have Coping/5.
So, every so often things don’t work out quite as you expected them to. That’s not too surprising at this point. When you’re a writer, sometimes the stories take unexpected turns. Which is what happened to me this time. You see, I finished the Prosperina myth, and figured I was going back into normal production. …

We have returned, with a special myth. It’s also a long one, to warn — though I don’t think people will complain. Unless, of course, they do. People find the time to complain, sometimes. This is a holiday special, though the holiday in question is somewhat vague. I don’t think we can call it Christmas, …

As I mention here, we seem to be in a bit of a service disruption writing wise. It’s nothing you’ve done, and I am not dead nor terribly sick (though I have been sick). I’ve put a lot of thought into writing, but the actual writing hasn’t been happening. I apologize for the inconvenience, and …

So. It’s all the fault of Gary Olson. Gary, for those of you who don’t know the name, is perhaps the best of the old Superguy writers. His series were well done, with the appropriate blend of humor and pathos. And he managed to actually finish them. He finished Rad. He finished CalForce. He finished …

Another fragment. Another incomplete story. Distinctive this time because A) I have absolutely no recollection of writing it (though it’s clearly something I wrote) and B) I have absolutely no idea where I was going with it. But it seems interesting to me. In a way, it’s more stock than a lot of what I’ve …

It’s always interesting to go from “the plan” to the execution. Scenes you think will be long and drawn out turn out to be perfunctory. Scenes you figured wouldn’t go anywhere will recast your series in an entirely new light. The characters in your notes come to life and start making noises at you. Sometimes, …

When we go back to stuff I wrote in the past, moving forward, I think we’ll call it “From the Vault.” That’s the sort of thing we’ll do on Tuesdays and Thursdays, on those Tuesdays and Thursdays we actually do something. This is a fragment — an incomplete chapter one of a book never written, …

It was a week of system issues and exhaustion, but that is done and now it’s Myth Time again, and with a little luck we’ll be on the full on normal schedule again starting this week. Starting off, we’re going back to Banter Latte pal CrazyDave, who asks us: Why have people stopped wearing watches …

One of the interesting things about writing something like Justice Wing is the kind of story you get to write. It’s hard to convince a publisher to let you write a comic book about this guy who interviews a supervillain for a week, with very little in the way of action scenes, for example. Not …
