Dear Patreons…

…an administrative question. So far, I’ve only been posting links to actual fiction pieces through Patreon. But as you know, that’s not all I post here. So, since that’s just an arbitrary choice, I thought I’d ask y’all about your preferences for it:

Note: Since my Patreon is set as monthly, not per-piece, whatever you pick here will have no effect on how much I’m costing you.

 

2014 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 24,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 9 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Trope-a-Day Note

Just to warn y’all, things are going to look a little off in the trope-a-day world for a while, because while the next trope up technically is The Beautiful People, it happens to be sitting on top of a dependency chain 24 tropes deep.

So we’re going to be rather spectacularly out of alphabetical order for most of the month of April, okay?

Okay.

Trope-a-Day Disclaimer

Okay, from today, it’s going to look like I’ve just given up on posting the trope-a-day in order entirely, I’m afraid, but in actuality, that’s not true.  The trouble is that the ones that would be today’s and tomorrow’s in linear order, Ave Machina and Awakening the Sleeping Giant, have dependency trees with four and fourteen other tropes in them rather than the usual one or two, and using the dependencies-come-first rule for posting them that I’ve been doing to simplify link-chasing…

Well, you won’t get to see the second of those one until the 22nd, is all I’m saying.  Just so you don’t think I’ve lost the plot.

(At least these only have three loops in them.)
