Just recently, I have been talking to the man in the mirror. He never answers me back, but still I do it. It is because I talk to him about things that would not fit in to this site. Serious things. Or maybe about a film I just watched. Why I hate the government. Many many conversations. Those conversations are very very lonely because the man in the mirror is an ignorant type and never answers me back. I think it is because he agrees with everything I say.
So I had an idea the size of a thing exactly the same size as what I was thinking. Create a second site. But then, I don’t want to write that much stuff all the time. But maybe, just maybe, others are in the same boat. Do you ever have content you think just doesn’t fit in to your site, so you don’t write it? Maybe you have a serious site and writing about a sunburned possum is just not going to work on your site.
So my idea grew. I thought “What about a community site where a select group could write any post they feel like (within reason) whenever they wanted to. And if there are enough writers, each writer would be advertising this “side project” on their site, thus bringing in the readers, who will in turn surf out to each others sites adding more readers to your site. Well, that might happen. I am no expert.
Would you be interested? I have set the site up. It is called “Disconnected Consortium”. I haven’t posted anything yet as I would like to see if any of you reading this would be up for it (or know someone who this might work for and can recommend them.)
It is a no pressure type of site. If you do a post a week, fine. One post a month even. I just think if we get enough people on board, it could work out well. We could have something similar to what I and MOB have been doing with the cross site story and have a mess about on one site etc.
If you are interested, either email me on sy@wheelturninghamsterdead.com or leave a comment, or just use ESP. I am always listening.
