New entry, new look

Goldkin — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 05:27:27 +0000

After the last few posts, I’d become dissatisfied with the direction this blog was going. So, we now have a new look!*

The last months have been brutal. I’ll spare the details, as drama posts aren’t exactly a novelty on the internet. The good news is I’ve decided to support this blog again as my writing outlet, and funnel my other thoughts through Twitter and my DA.

I’m currently working on the art side of things over at goldkin.deviantart.com. My writing has somewhat lapsed due to the 140 character limit, so I’ll be working on some larger posts again as the muse serves.

I’m also working on a few novel ideas that I’d like to share here:

AesTerra: The Musings of Another World

An alternate reality based around practical flight, without devolving heavily into Ye Olde Steampunk. The few ideas I have scribbled down rely heavily on bending the rules with regards to magic and technology ever so slightly.

Elterra: Adventures from the Electron Stream

Life has formed on the internet. Starting slow in the primordial ooze of drama and lolcats, our bots and systems have gained sentience. This is their story of existence in the sea of electrons, and of what happens next.

New Game+

What if everything in life worked exactly like a game of D&D? A hilarious devolution into “everything as numbers,” everything practical in life is now governed by levels, stats, and The Rulebook. This book will give you 2500XP toward your next level in scholarship and comic fantasy!

If any of these strike your fancy, I’d love to hear about it! I could definitely use the inspiration and critique.

This post serves two purposes:

1) To test whether entries posted to WordPress are slurped directly into LiveJournal.
2) To re(-re-re-re)start this blog as my own. Seeing as baxil was kind enough to supply me with it so many years ago.*

Entries will still be going through my main blog (see above), but I figure it can’t hurt to use this space. Unless someone Googles it with malicious intent, at least!

So, watch this space! Again! For like, the hundredth time!**

* WordPress doesn’t seem to like LiveJournal user tags.

At all.

So I’m going to cheat and use proper anchoring instead.

This is a test post for blogging from my desktop publishing suite for Emacs.

More entries should hopefully flow from this that are a little more substantial than test posts.

Restart

Test entry. For now, bask in the glory of a shiny new blog layout!
