Updates, plus upcoming: Post #100!

   Holy wow, readers. I've just realised that we're almost at an important milestone in the life of Probably Not Sane. This is post #97. That means we're almost at post #100. And I feel I ought to do something special. But I'm not quite sure what. I originally thought of linking to all the more quality posts I've created in the last year and a half, but then I figured, that's shit. Why would I do that to you guys? That's not even new content or anything. I needed some better ideas.

   I then outsourced idea-production to my friends, because I was all but ready to give up. This is an appropriate time for some Facebook self promotion.


   Yes, there is a page on Facebook for Probably Not Sane that you can like, if you so desire. 19 people have liked it already. Here's the link.

   If you prefer your Probably Not Sane on Facebook experiences to be more interactive, I also have a group, Fans of Probably Not Sane. It's a public group, so if you want to contribute, all you have to do is request to join, and I promise I'll let you, unless you are actively stalking me and planning to murder me. Even then I will probably accept you anyway.

   The reason I am bringing this up is because I want the readers to have a say in what I do for such momentous occasions for this. Thus far I have had the following suggestions:


  • An audio recording of a dramatic reading of My Immortal. (I'm already planning to do this, but would prefer to do it with friends, notably Scott and Dom, to have a greater variety of voices for the different "characters." Rest assured this will most likely happen, but not by post #100. Seriously, that fanfic is nearly fifty chapters long.)
  • A guest post. I briefly considered this, possibly getting Dom onboard, because I think he's probably a better writer than I am. I've since changed my mind on the idea of a guest post for this, but I still would like a contribution. Also, remember last guest post, when Gareth wrote about weird porn? Yeah, I'm a little cautious about doing that again. He didn't even provide any links, and I wasn't too keen to go hunting for them myself.
  • Something awesome. Well, that's kinda the point, but thanks. :)


   Also, as you may have noticed from the Facebook pages, Probably Not Sane has a new temporary logo, consisting mostly of some of my favourite pictures I've had on this blog. I'd like to incorporate it somewhere on this page, but the background is already a mess and I want to change that first. I have a lot of improvements I want to make to this blog, so hopefully you should see all that change soon. Also, the logo was done in a rush. I might make an improved version. I probably should, I mean look at this.


I feel like I used to do a better job with MS Paint :/


   Anyway, I've got just a few more pieces of news for you.

1. I've got a big trip coming up. I'm going to Dunedin in the next week or so because my brother's down from Auckland and I really want to see him again. After that I'm heading to Christchurch, then Nelson for a cousin's wedding, then back down south via the west coast. Hopefully some adventures will happen so I'll have more material for my blog.

2. I think I promised a possible ongoing fiction series to be added to here. I'll admit, I'm kinda working on that, but the main story I'm writing at the moment is vaguely based on William's life, and I won't even let him read it yet, and I happen to know he stalks my blog. (Hey William, nice to see you again, and oh, I'm baking you some brownies right now. Hopefully this time I get them to you before my mum gets into them again. Love you.) Also, by based on William's life, I mean very, very loosely based. I don't want people to read it and get all offended or anything. I've mostly just made shit up. So yeah, I'm going to need to start on a new story if I am to upload it to here. But what do you guys think about the possibility of an ongoing fiction series?

   Anyway, I'm sorry this was more informative than entertaining, but if you'll excuse me, I'm going to record part one of my dramatic reading of My Immortal.


   Leave a comment or contact me through the pages listed above if you have any feedback/criticism/ideas. I really want to make this awesome for you all. Thanks to everyone who's stuck by me for the past 97 posts. I'm so grateful.
