The State of the Blog

1/3/2014

14 Comments

 
It's been over a week since I first set up this website (largely on a whim), hence I've had more time to think about what I can do with it.

This is what you can expect coming up on a (semi) regular basis:

  • Death Note news from around the world. Gossip too, if we can get it. I'll continue monitoring the world wide web for any information about Death Note, real world and canon, then plonking it here for your delight and enjoyment.
  • Death Note discussions - plot and character chats, based on anything that I've uncovered wonderful and new, so that it's not anything that we've all discussed a billion times on MangaBullet and elsewhere. Like the Mello alternative ending from last week.
  • Death Note Where Are They Now?  Finding anyone and everyone who ever had anything to do with the franchise, and up-dating the world on their current CV.
  • Focus on a Fan - periodically (probably once a month or so) I'll hand over a blog entry to one of the old gang from MB (or the wider Death Note fandom). They'll get to tell you where they are, what they're up to, where you can find them and anything else which they think important to share. This is on the basis that so many of us scattered when the old site collapsed, and it's nice to keep in touch.
  • Product Peer Review! There's so much tat and good stuff in the Death Note merchandising world. I thought that every so often, I could add one in a blog entry, and we could give our expert considered opinions. Have we bought it? Why not? Would we touch it with a bargepole? Is this a want and covet moment? Etc.
  • Death Note feature - This is where I pick on a character from the manga and give them another 15 minutes of fame. I was thinking that the more obscure the better, though I suppose we'd have more to say about the main 'cast'.
  • Read-a-along a Death Note managa.  A bit like storytime when we were kids, but more us all getting our own copies, reading and discussing a chapter at a time. Might be too much like hard work. We'll see. If there's any joy at the prospect of this, we might see a little harder.
  • Watch-a-along a Death Note anime.  See above, but quicker.
  • Updates on my 11th novel in the It Matters series. About once a month, I'll nip in to tell you how much of it I haven't written. Hopefully you might get the odd surprise month, when I knocked out ten chapters. You know how it goes.
Anything there you're thinking 'yay' or 'bleurrrggghhh' about?  This is me brain-storming over the course of a few days, so nothing is yet set in stone. Besides you know what I'm like. I'll probably be bored this time next week, and moved on to blogging about computer hardware instead.

But for now, my 'occasional' blog has turned into 'something every day' and I'm enjoying myself immensely.  Thanks all!

This definitely gets a 'yay' from me, especially concerning even more from the It Matters series! :D I just hope I'll be able to remember everything that's previously happened as I wouldn't want to miss any fun little references to the previous novels. Are there any summaries floating around out there I could refresh my mind with? Not that I wouldn't love to reread, just, school is occupying most of my reading time at the moment orz And because I am nosy and must ask-- have you written anything original since by any chance? I feel like you mentioned something before but I might have imagined it, lol.

Also, hello! Long time to see! :)

...and of course that 'to' is supposed to be a 'no' LOL.

Hello! *mad waving* I've just turned my name in this reply into a website link which may help. Though I'm not sure that I put any actual summaries up there.

Leave it with me, I'll see what I can do.

Original fiction? Yes, but I haven't got it published nor online anywhere. It was a vampire novel.

It sounds like school is being particularly heavy for you atm. Good luck with it. <3

I do really love your idea of starting a blog about Death Note related stuff, the internet lacks it. I'm so excited about what will you come up with :D

It's absolutely wonderful to see you here too. :)

I'm not sure that the internet lacks Death Note news per se, but I'm yet to find a single blog devoted to it alone. Maybe we're just not looking very hard!

My heart gives a little leap with each new name appearing here. It looks like the old Death Note grapevine really did get whispering this last week. Everyone is coming back!

Then I intend to with aplomb. 284 unique visitors came here yesterday alone. Not bad, eh?

And you've got me looking at that list and reminding myself of all the things I said I was going to do. LOL

Thanks for your advice on the banners yesterday. Do you like how they turned out?

Woot! Thank you very much. And yes, anyone can link here, with my thanks.

The Mello alternative ending was just something that was being discussed in the comments to a blog entry. It was never real. :(
