Comment on The Fierce Idiocy of "New"

Comments

The entire race is heading in the wrong direction, I feel. The best sites I've ever visited were ones where I got linked to an article or essay and found myself stuck on the site for an entire day, reading multiple years worth of archives. Sites like paulgraham.com, joelonsoftware.com, actsofgord.com, and the now-defunct myboot.com are still etched in my mind, even if I originally read them 5+ years. Hell, I kept coming back to myboot.com for 9 years; he never did post chapter 24 of She Hates My Futon GODDAMNIT!!!

I had forgotten all about She Hates My Futon! He never finished it?

That's... that's just awful.

Yes. How do you write a good story like that then just not finish it. For nine years.
