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 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
Replying to
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
