      I'm no longer a blogger. I've been upgraded to hyperwriter by the authorial elevation events of 2020 like blogchaining and threadapaloozaing.

      Hyperwriters don't write individual works. They write extended universes.

      Also @RoamResearch as the first medium for extended-universe building. Kinda like ILM for the kind of CGI-heavy movie-making that eventually gave us the MCU

      I want to be like kevin feige tbh... don't want to actually write 80% of the things I'm stubbing out these days that belong in the ribbonfarm blogomatic universe, but I wish I had a bunch of people with enough shared headspace to flesh those stubs out

      I have a lot of readers who seem to have the required level of mastery as *readers* (some more than me actually), but I'm not sure any of them want to help write more of it

          I think, assuming I can find people who are interested, the challenge would be laying out a map of the existing content that's suitable for gaining *writerly* situation awareness, which is not the same as readerly. I'd have to make a lot of the underground infrastructure visible

          In hindsight, I think I instigated threadapalooza to scratch a subconscious itch to sort of lab-test the mechanics of coordinating a lot of people writing about stuff in a loosely shared extended-universe type context
