Explanation

Hi all.

This blog serves as a behind-the-scenes companion to Scribble Pit. The idea is, we post questions, suggestions, requests, or anything else that we might want to discuss here.

The main things I think this'll be useful for are:

1) Proper discussion of stories. Plenty of people leave notes on other people's stories, but they're not likely to return to the page later to see if the original author has replied. So from now on, if an author writes "what did you mean by this bit?", there's a proper place for a response.

2) Critiques and requests. With some stories, authors want proper critiques. With others, writers are perfectly happy to leave a story as is, with no interest in persuing it further. Here, authors can explicitly ask for critiques on specific stories.

3) Discussion. Things like the layout, labels, general admin stuff. And ideas for new projects, maybe - like, if two writers choose to experiment with taking it in turns to write installments, discussion of it can go here.

Also, because of the notes situation, short replies should be posted as comments, but detailed responses should be posted as new posts, for all the world to see. As a rule, remind yourself that not everyone will necessarily read a note, but everyone will see new post.
