October News Roundup

|

Some Interesting News Bits happening in the Blog Fiction World. Some old, some recent, all of it was news to me in the last month. I know I usually post this on the last or second to last day of the month, but I can't quite seem to squeeze it in lately.

Novelr on hiatus
Novelr announced early in October that the blog will be on hiatus until December 4th. Nothing too unusual. Novelr is known for taking occasional breaks. With the quality of his observations and dedication to blooks, I guess we let him.

BlogRush Over
Obviously my damning review of that useless BlogRush widget did them in. BlogRush has announced that their idea and experiment is over. It's a shame really. I think the idea had merit, but they didn't experiment enough with it. They did try different things, but one thing they never messed with was the look of the widget itself. A shame, really. Something that was better at drawing people's eyes might have really helped the thing.

Newly Found Blog Fiction sites
Some really high quality blog fiction sites found in the last month or so. (well, in some cases, they found me) All of the ones below were found this month and are still active.

Evangiline's Ride
Follow the story of a girl as she and her band go from nobodies to rock & roll super stars. Jealousy, romance, and tension laces every post.

Tapestry
A fantasy diary of a family as they struggle to survive living in a world ran by a corrupt kingdom.

A Stab in the Dark
Believe it or not, A blog fiction that is based on a video game. Follow the story of a Rogue in World of Warcraft

The Diary of a Dhampyr in England
Follow the story of Tavoris Tarvoris, a half vampire half human. Great conflict right from the start.

Did I miss anything? Have your own October news? Let me know in the comments.

Blog Rush went to pot but Entre card is going strong. Can we say "money"? Monetizing Entrecard was the smartest thing they could have done. What it does is open up a new level of marketing that people can afford. Bloggers don't need the numbers of major companies. We're happy with just a few more readers!

I submitted my zombie story blog to your list, but I think it got taken down. I'm so excited about the kinds of stories that can be told in this format, and I'm glad I'm not alone. Thanks for doing what you're doing

Dustin said...

Tim,
It didn't disappear. I moved it to a different forum. It's right here.

Tim Kay said...

Ah, thanks. I'm still not quite sure what to call the format I've been writing in, which kind of makes it more fun.

Hi Dustin,
I just wanted to let you know about Children of the First, a serial webnovel I started back in June.
Hope you like it/ get a chance to read it.

Either way, it's always nice to find people in the community. Rock on.
