Beyond the BlogFor a while now, I've been dissatisfied with how this site was developing. Blogs are ephemeral things. What you say disappears into oblivion in a matter of days. I found that certain ideas and stories seemed to be more important than others and I wanted to keep them more up front. In addition, I am intrigued by the idea of a work that mixes and integrates traditional genre without merging them and the online environment seems a more flexible way of doing this than a book or a movie or a sound recording. All of those media are here if I want them, although given that I tend towards Felix's view that one word is worth a thousand pictures, there is likely to be more text in the mix than anything else. Finally, I like the freedom that the web brings. Being lost in something vast suits my intellectual temperament. It feels like the all-care-no-responsibility experience of the expatriate in a foreign city: engaged but no involved, interested but not committed. This then is the Nectarine Project, the Web's best kept secret - part fiction, part ideas, part an end in itself. This section of the site will tell you how the whole thing is going. Perhaps. 12 September 2008 |
There is really no point in my saying anything because he never takes any notice but I feel it is my public duty to warn any unwary visitor to ignore everything in the column to the left. This whole site is a complete waste of time. Go away and do something sensible. Amanda I think that's a really mean thing to say when it's only just started. Let's give the poor guy a chance.
