From Grathew's Desk
Hello All,
Been a busy few weeks. Filled with tech issues. That isn’t entire story on why this is late, but it is a good starting point.
Long story short I am moving the Gazette to a new platform, specially https://grathewgazette.com. I for one welcome the new url. For some this may seem like a sudden unexpected change. Where as in reality, I shouldn't have started on substack.
Substack is the home for newsletters, be that text, audio, or video. Frankly for that use case it is the best you can get.
I'm not just doing that. I am also doing a web serialized fiction, and a blog. The only proper newsletter part of the operation is this, my author to subscriber ramblings. Everything else isn’t really a newsletter being pushed into a newsletter format.
This has given me more than a bit of trouble on the back end. Couple that with a binary public/paid option and I've been looking for a new platform since December. It has been one of the background things that I’ve been shuffling though when I should be writing more. All in all I think the setup, once it’s finally set up. I have a few more pages and whatnot to set up over there. Should be set up by the end of the month. Ultimately the blog portion should be more bloggy, the website part should be better put together and everything should look better. I know it looks about the same, but that’s just the beginning.
That big piece of news out of the way on to the more expected stuff.
Noah Bannon dropped a new chapter Monday you can find it on Royal Road or the new site. I fixed up all of Royal Road’s version of the chapters to match the master document. I will be going though the versions on the new site and cleaning it up to make sure that everything is where it should be and whatnot.
Project Ghost (BTL:SG) is on it’s way. Should be done with the prologue and the first chapter soon. They will be going up at the end of March. I’m excited although I’m not going to share anything more than the acronym, not right now. I doubt any of you will be able to guess the full title. It’s a bit long, and very foreshadowing.
Worldbuild Wednesday got delayed a little bit, both parts will be out this week. I wanted both to go out on both platforms at the same time. Because of that I ended up delaying it. Thus a double feature on Ash Wednesday.
The second half of the Sci-Fam crossover will be out this Saturday. It too will be going out on the new site. What do you think of the merged concept? I’m thinking it may be something I do from time to time.
