Writing matters to me. Good grammar, good punctuation, these things are important to me. One of the things about Rooks, for example, was that it read, to me, like someone who wasn't a 19yr old in college. I guess I'm used to all of the SM stories involving young people. It endeared me to think that the writer might have actually been over the age of 21.

Ugh the binary...I regret ever getting my blog involved with this plot device, because it completely screwed me over on a lot of things unless I dramatically pull out from al lfo this...oh well. We'll see where this goes. It's pretty ridiculous right now.

I'm waiting for people to be brave enough to turn comments off and yet still give the player's means of interacting with the story. Maybe slipping the (fake) email of the supposed blogger or something.

Either way the comments are getting bad. All over the board. I don't even read them in good ones like Seeking Truth.

So I take it lots of Slenderblogs threw out a heap of content on the 23rd?

GEE I WONDER WHY THAT WOULD BE. On the one hand, some sly acknowledgement that the series that really kicked the whole Slendy-ARG thing off would have been appropriate and nice. On the other hand, there comes a point where that just turns into trying to ride on MH's popularity yet again.

MH started back up. This was widely expected due to some twitpics posted to the MH twitter feed.

Ol'Slendy

A lot of the blogs start up and die quickly. One was nowheretohyde. It was terrible. So terrible, in fact, the guy deleted his twitter and youtube.

I followed and enjoyed "Dreams in Darkness", "Lack of Lexicon", the one where the guys brother was killed in a house fire and became a Slendy puppet, "Scared" up through the point the kids went on the run, and a couple of others, but I never got into the second- or third-generation blogs.

(Am I the only one who sees a fuzzy boundary between the earlier blogs and the ones that started later? I can't say exactly what it is, but it feels like it's there. I think it has something to do with the scope of the stories. I think that, for me, only deeply personal stories work in blog format. Once a bigger picture becomes the focus, it seems--again, to me--like there's a disconnect between the medium and the message)

I glanced at the Core Theory stuff and quickly looked away. I curse the ghost of Joseph Campbell and all the depredations he wrought on speculative fiction.

So all that's a roundabout way of making another request for a summary of what happened on the 23rd.
