The general indifference to Chapter 2 of 'The Van ...' has been quite deafening. I have therefore decided to discontinue it. At least as a TG/TV tale. I still think there is mileage in the idea and am toying with rewriting and perhaps posting in on Fictioneer in due course. I enjoy writing and, if other commitments permit, that is perhaps the way forward for me.

I'm not exactly sure what I said because the blog entry was depublished and I did not save it on my own machine.

In any case, apparently I have offended people and I apologize for this.

Specifically, I apologize to Kristina and Angharad.

I am sorry, I did not mean to be offensive.

I would be more specific, but I'm not sure exactly how I offended.

I will no longer darken your doors.

I abase myself, beg your forgiveness, every other way I can think of to say that I am truly sorry and I hope you can overlook my intolerable rudeness.

I've come to the conclusion that my prior blog post, "How To Look Like A Slut," was maybe a little too off-topic. We've all seen the how-to videos on applying makeup and developing a look. This was about how to do everything "right" and end up with a low-class look, on purpose. Frankly, I thought it was uncanny, especially knowing how good Paperlilies (her YouTube name) really looks when she's not messing around imitating people, and I thought her act was spot-on and hilarious.
