The main side effect of the Penny Arcade bump for Ommatidia has been a notification avalanche–via email or Technorati–of other people who have started (or were already doing) tiny story blogs in a similar vein. I think this is awesome, but honestly I lose track of which site is which, and even I can only read so much blink fiction in a day.<\/p>\n
So here’s an offer: if you’re doing tiny stories on some sort of schedule, email me<\/a> with a link and a little summary and I’ll add you to the directory page<\/a> I’m putting together now. I am not promising to subscribe to all of them, for the aforementioned reasons, but I will go through once a month to check them all, maybe make a recommendation, and clean out the dead ones. (If you have emailed me about your story blog, and it’s still going, and you want it to be on the list, I would appreciate it if you’d email me again.)<\/p>\n Besides the obvious<\/a>, I’ll start it off with just such a recommendation: The Two Minutes Project<\/a>, comprising Two Minutes Less a Third<\/a> and Chasing Concordia<\/a>. Very short stories and<\/i> very short songs! Read The Eternal Question<\/a> if you need convincing, which you shouldn’t, dammit you have got to start TRUSTING me someday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The main side effect of the Penny Arcade bump for Ommatidia has been a notification avalanche–via email or Technorati–of other people who have started (or were already doing) tiny story blogs in a similar vein.
