Increasing Our Numbers.

I’ve been thinking (it’s what I do when I’m between novels!) We currently have seven active members. A nice little cabal to start off with — but should we perhaps be thinking of inviting a few more people along for the ride? I’m sure we all agree that we don’t want just anyone joining our exclusive little club, but perhaps there is someone you know who you think should be here and isn’t it that you might want to invite? If so, shout up and we can take a vote on it.

One criterion that any new member must meet, however, would be a willingness to participate. Someone who blogs regularly and likes to get involved.

What do you think?

Well Done, Mike!

Just a quick post to say thanks to our fellow Idiosyncratican, Mike, for setting up our appropriately snazzy new group blog. Good work, dude And, yes, to answer the question you asked by e-mail, I like it. I like it a lot.

While I’m here, I might as well take a moment to address a couple of points regarding how this is going to work. My understanding is that group topic posts like the one we’ve just done will still be posted on our individual blogs. Do we all agree with this? This site will effectively be for announcements and discussions on how the group should grow/develop and so on? Yes? With maybe one post a month linking to all the individual group topic posts? The reason I suggest we work it like this (and it is just a suggestion — please feel free to disagree!) is that many of my non-Idiosyncratica readers will also be interested in the posts and… well, I want to keep page hits up!

What do you think?

I said a couple of points, didn’t I? Can’t for the life of me remember what the other one was, though!

Welcome to Idiosyncratica!

A warm welcome to all of our members and anyone else!

Following the success of our recent My Fiction And Me opening posts, we’ve decided to start this blog. We thought it could be a hub for the group.

Accordingly, we’ve made everyone an administrator that we possibly can, and just need the requests to be responded to from your emails. I think we just need to have email addresses for Will Rhodes and Kallioppe so we can put you in as admins. That way we can all be on an equal footing and post suggestions, discussion points and so on.

Future announcements will probably come from me or Gary, but anyone is of course welcome to contribute!

Our next topic will be announced on the 15th July, and I will be the one choosing it. We’re accepting nominations for August, either of yourself or others, or we can go alphabetically, depending upon what you guys want. What do we think?
