More Schoneboomery
Surrealpolitik: More than a site dedicated to the book of the same name, it's a searchable repository of amazing quotes related to delusion, reality, and the symbolic order.
Magic Stories: A unique digital platform for reading and creating highly randomized (yet not arbitrary) stories that are (probably) never the same twice. Go on. Try it out.
Bratum Books: Publisher of the Uncommonalities series of short story collections bound by a common first line.
Bonkworld: Stop it. Bonk is a cartoon sound effect, not a dirty word. Lots of interactivity and japes, not entirely unliterary, occasionally informative. A rarely updated playground for me and a co-conspirator or two.
Wossafocken Point: What indeed?
