Today marks not only Halloween but also the first anniversary of Bleeding Fiction. It was one year ago today that the site went live. To celebrate, I went out to a Halloween party-sort-of-thing at the home of a friend of Jeni's. There were some people there I'd met before and some new people besides. Wasn't a big thing; mostly sitting around talking and answering the door for the trick-or-treaters.
So, if you remember way back when I complained a bit about blogs. I haven't changed my mind about them so much, but I'm a little more comfortable now with the things the technology can do. I'm still not Making Light or Die Puny Humans, but I never really expected or wanted to be. I don't know that this space has done what I set out for it to do. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I set out for it to do much of anything. But almost two-hundred posts later it's been a good tool for self-indulgence and people have from time to time provided me with witty commentary. That's something, I guess.
And so, for another year, Bleeding Fiction will continue. The only question is: who has ideas for a sight re-design?

I think we should add a secion that includes how to fight crime and how to find the best hot chocolate.

I'll work on something. Something easier to format than Fables.

Cool. Of course, now that I've done Fables, I feel as if I can do anything. In thinking about it, I'm pretty sure I said that after I formatted this site, too...

Nothing at all. But do you think I'm fool enough to reveal my secret methods here?
