Lost in the Desert

September 3, 2009 By Mark 2 Comments

Can you point me to the best blog fiction on the internet? Not just the best web fiction — although I guess I wouldn’t mind a few pointers there as well — but specifically blog fiction, however you define it?

The reason I ask is that I’ve been rooting around for a few weeks now, clicking links and following threads, and I’m seeing a lot of fiction on the internet. And I’m really glad that so many people are publishing to the web. It can only make them better writers, and it can only speed the process of networking which is so important to any writer’s ability to develop. (All writers need to find good readers. It’s a nightmare for all involved.)

On some level, however, I’m still not connecting with a lot of what I’m reading, and I keep feeling like I’m wandering in circles. So…if I said to you, “Who’s writing the best blog fiction on the internet?”, what would you say?

(I tried searching for ‘best blog fiction’ but I was not encouraged by the number of hits I got in return. And ‘best blogfic’ turned out even worse.)

      I think that’s really interesting, but it also highlights a problem I have with some of the sites I’m visiting. Time and again I don’t feel confident about what is and is not part of the fiction of the site — and that ambiguity doesn’t make me titter with curiosity. Mostly it just confuses me.

      Allowing for the possibility that I’m a dolt, however, I will take a closer look.
