The big news of the moment: I’m writing an article on fashion in the Northanger Abbey adaptations for my friend Laurel Ann’s “Go Gothic” festival at Austenprose Blog. It’s set to publish on October 15. If you’re a fan of Jane Austen, you’ll really enjoy her blog!
Now for the boring stuff:
Kali enjoys simplifying her internet life. Kali also has trouble letting go of past projects that have outstripped their usefulness. This means that Kali has trouble making decisions as to what to update and what to delete.
I’m in the process of redesigning and otherwise generally cleaning up Better Haunts & Graveyards. The current design is something like six years old, and it looks it. Once that’s out of the way, Halloween-tree.com and Livadia.org are going to have their days of reckoning.
Right now, I’m thinking I’ll just merge the Halloween site with Better Haunts; there isn’t enough left to justify its continued independent existence. As for the Romanov site, I’m torn. On one hand, it looks old and we just don’t have the time or interest to update it anymore. Further, all it seems to do in its current limbo state is invite image-ganking bandwidth thieves and freaky Russian spam. On the other hand, it would sincerely suck to see all of our hard work on the scrapbooks and such go down the crapper. As usual, I’m the queen of indecision.
In other news, Strawberry Canyon and Desire are closing up shop. The current plan per Marsha and myself is to open up a new, joint writing workshop with no sim and a broader focus. I think most of us were bored with the figure skating premise.
When will it debut? Not a clue. Probably sometime before Christmas.
