Today's entry is a semi-day off, given that I'm just now back from a weekend trip and in the throes of what's turning out to be a particularly nasty cold. But I do have a couple of minor-to-major administrative issues I'd like to throw out to my theoretical readership -- that is, to the six of you who actually follow the site, not the 200 of you a day who come around looking for naked pictures of She-Hulk. Take a gander at these here queries and respond by leaving a comment down below or by writing me at the usual place. Sorry for the lapse, and thanks for your attention. 1. The three-year anniversary of the Ludic Log is fast approaching. What sort of thing would you like to see to commemorate this meaningless, ridiculous milestone? 2. Would you have any interest -- as in any actual interest as opposed to the kind of interest where you say you're interested but never really do anything -- in purchasing a 'Best-Of' collection of Ludic Log entries in book form? If so, what might you want to see in it? 3. Would you like to see the Ludic Log become a contributor-driven, edited blog fashioned more like a literary magazine? Or would you rather just see me write fewer crappy entries? 4. For technical people: needless to say, this site is ridiculously shabby-looking and ugly, which is one of many reasons why only six of you read it. If any of you are web designers, would you be interested in redoing the site to make it look more visually appealing? Although it wouldn't be your regular rate, I could pay, or work out trade. 5. For technical people who are particularly knowledgable about CSS: would it be inhumanly difficult to dump all the archives into a template, or would I have to hand-code the whole fucking thing, thus ensuring I would never actually do it? 6. For artistic types and comics nerds especially: are you interested in seeing the Geek Index (the collection of recaps of DC Who's Who and The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe) done as a separate, graphics-heavy site? If so, have you any interest in helping me set it up/design it/get it running? If not, would you be interested in seeing it done as a paper 'zine you could buy, or be handed at a comics convention, or sue me over as part of your job as an intellectual property attorney for Marvel or Time-Warner? 7. What is your favorite part of the site? Adventures in Referral? The comics nerd stuff? The picture of She-Hulk's butt? The seemingly-funny, remarkably obscure intellectual half-jokes? The short stories and novel excerpts I never finish? The impossible-to-follow unattributed dialogue I ripped off from William Gaddis and Christian Claiborn? The lists? The bad photography? The angry, ill-informed political screeds? The references to people and events you care nothing about? The entries like this one and the next one that I come up with when I haven't got the time, energy or ability to write a real piece? Or something else? The Ludic Log thanks you for your participation. |
