Idea: “elder blogs” by analogy to elder [video] games and human old people. Blogs that recognize/act their age. A blog with 10y of history is like a game long-time readers have played through a few times or an old man who repeats same old stories. How should elder blogs evolve?

Realistically? The author has shown the clever and attentive reader their one to four tricks and there are no surprises left, just repetition of the same themes, with stale meta humor and some change-ups, until death.

That is what I had in mind. But multiauthor dilutes voice and focus. That said, I have given much thought to world building, and your idea of extending that systematic work to this domain is brilliant.

And I think I can safely claim to have pulled off multi-author. The trick is that it’s not about voice and focus at n>1.

Good point. I think coherence & consistency beat voice in the multiauthor realm. Should be like numerous ppl describing the same world. The New Testament is the canonical example.
