[Kira 'Not the journalist' Lerner 🩵🌊🇺🇸 🌻 @kiralerner]

While hunting writing samples for a project, I came upon the @epiguide's October 2006 news blog where, appropriately enough, @footprints_soap received some justified adulation from a community member. A fun snapshot of how busy we were then! https://t.co/IWJvCrIxOn

This is super inside-baseball, but seeing the whole NaNo/ai thing... WeSeWriMo would *never.*

@odaat_webseries @theblackthornes @footprints_soap @bredrew2 @BenightBeguile It's definitely gonna happen! My dev's working miracles. I considered a GoFundMe to pay the guy & add necessary changes to start up again, but it's not terribly expensive for me to handle. I really want the site up so it can be a snapshot of the early history of the #websoap.

Tonight we light City Hall in recognition of the steadfast support from President Joe Biden and the entire United States following the horrific attack on our country. To my friends in the US and all over the world: we will always remember who stood by us during our darkest hour.

@FesWorks @WebfictionWorld I am aroundish. Great to hear from you! How's everything?

[Kira @epiguide]

Is this a teaser for a film/tv/web series? Is it an interactive fictional experience on its own? Is it an ARG? Is it an AI creating an AI studio that creates AI-driven shows? All I know is, it's beyond creative and right up my alley.

[Kira @epiguide]

@footprints_soap @olderbrother21 TRAVIS!!!! Yes, yes! This is the advantage of your having, what, 20 years' worth of fewer dead braincells than I. But I've got a gift for you: Two other names on Lake Cybersen were, I kid you not: Shakey and Santorum. (This was before the latter was, uh, redefined, but still!)

[Kira @epiguide]

& Can I just add, what the ever-lovin' HELL was I thinking with this design? Yipe. I was using AOLPress in those days & had only done 1 website before (ASF's) so be kind. Still, fuglissimo.

[Kira @epiguide]

Sorry, I'll stop spamming ancient cobweb-strewn links, but here's the 1st issue of the Episodic (proto EpiGuide) available via the Wayback Machine. I can probably find older ones on our server but for now, here's the first issue announcing our forum! https://t.co/kWCwk8aVzt

[Kira @epiguide]

@footprints_soap @olderbrother21 Nostalgia overload: 1999 Episodic, w/featured sites including "In This Life," "Dimensions of the Lake," & Tom's "Revelations"! (Good lord, from the old Cultureland URL yet, lol.) https://t.co/J0Gc5ArKNK

[Kira @epiguide]

Me FINALLY able to give proper credit to a classic #webserial--Dead Kelly--that I've mentioned a billion times but could never find it. (I knew the name, but it was taken offline in the late '90s.) Reader polls, separate scene pages, dark mood... big influence on ASF.

[Kira @aboutskyfalls]

WOOHOO For ages I've lauded 1 pioneering #webserial as a major format/design/mood influence for ASF--"Dead Kelly" by Daniel Price. Since it disappeared 20+ yrs ago I could never show it to ppl. Only just now thought to try the Wayback, duh: https://t.co/q1fuZrq6Tw!

[Kira @epiguide]

@footprints_soap @olderbrother21 Yay, the Epiguide had its uses back in the day! :) Or EpisodicReview, as it then was, ugh. You might've also seen "Casino" (by Daryl of "Newport" fame) & "Lake Cybersen" (Eric), both of which predated ASF & maybe even FP by some months.

[Kira @epiguide]

@ruzkin Browse through KU and you'll see the contemp/SFF/paranormal romance field of the past fifteen years proves no AI is needed for *that*.
