Alright, Alright, Come On Then

[Neil Struthers]

I think it's time we woke Ficktion from its long winter slumber. Is there any good reason not to? Are we all too busy at the minute? I know I didn't post anything for the last few pictures, but that was a lack of decent ideas on my part, not because I wasn't paying attention. Now it's May and I am primed and ready, fingers poised, eyes wide and staring, sweating pure writerplasm. It's a seasonal thing,

What if we were all involved in submitting links? I mean, we each have a Ning page here. Or we could use a common forum post. What if we picked out, say, four or five decent links per week, and used that as a kind of image pool? It would ease the burden for our man Donal, and our individual aesthetic senses might pick out some interesting stuff for the others. It would also open up an extra dimension of inspiration--a story could be inspired by a juxtaposition of multiple images from that week, by the strange links they form in your head. I promise mine will not be all heaps of discarded circuit boards and bundles of cable and pictures of offal.

I think the photo slideshow thing is a generic widget across all of Ning. Club of Mars uses the same one.
Need to clear out the brainbox alright. Winter was long this year.

Question:
what happens to the photos after the week? Do we delete them from our page?

[Neil Struthers]

Um. I hope the image widget can take a date range. Otherwise, gah, we might have to do this with some sort of weekly forum post.

We'll see next week.
