New outlet

I've found a new place to post my writing, though so far I've only recycled an article that already appears here and on Associated Content. It began as an experiment to see what kind of response I would garner, as this is a site that pays based on page views and user rankings.

It's turned out to be an interesting little site, with some interesting content. It's weighted more heavily toward fiction and personal narrative than most of the sites I've seen so far where users have the hope of eventual payment. Most sites have leaned far more toward news and non-fiction, with a bias against creative non-fiction.

I've already found a number of writers there whose work I like, though the edges are a bit rough in places. Even my critical comments have been well-received so far. My first posting made it to the "best postings" list for at least a while, which is encouraging. I'm interested enough to see how this develops that I added a widget to my page.

(And who out there who knows me would have ever thought I'd even know how to do that?)
