The Monday Photo (”we have it? yeah, we have it.”)
The struggle for self-determination, the struggle for what a character wants his life to be…I look for characters who feel strongly enough about something not to be concerned with [...]
The third annual Whatsies
Well, that’s another year under our belts, with plenty of changes in the world at large and on the site itself. For a brief summing up, let’s hand the mic to Jeremy:
So this year TGW was memorable for several things. First of all, of course, it was an election year–The Election Year–and so, it was [...]
Whatsie time [hold, minor chord] again / Whatsie time [hold, minor chord] again
Well, we’ve made it nearly another year with this thing, which means it’s time for some self-congratulation, some self-doubt, a little self-loathing, and, of course, another round of Whatsies.
For the Whatsies this year, we’re inviting anyone who reads the site to send in a paragraph or more about the highlights of the past year on [...]
Whither TGW?
I love the Great Whatsit. Have loved it since its first post, way back in January of 2006. Have loved it since Dr. Cedric revealed the medical dilemmas that came through his door. Since Farrell and Trixie revealed the details of their home renovations. Since before the East Coasters and West Coasters met at the [...]

Cats don’t like packing.

And quelle surprise! Out-of-towners, out on the town, fresh back from some time [...]

And, yes, apparently Thursdays fall apart when Dave’s not around to keep them going…) But, because Thursdays have been ever-changing, ranging from (initially) regular posting slots to short reviews to open threads to (most recently) playlists, I was wondering…
Should we keep up with [...]
So long, farewell
Gentle readers,
For the next while I’ll be taking a leave of absence from TGW. Other projects require a more single-minded attention for the time being. Of previous contributors who’ve taken a hiatus — Farrell, Trixie, Parrish, Pandora, West, Walker, Cedarbrook — most are still around, at least on occasion, and some of those [...]
Year in review: The 2007 Whatsie awards
We’ve made it to the end of our second year with nary a hitch: Yes, a few writers have gone into retirement — only temporarily, we hope — but we’ve gained new ones, too, and had at least one prodigal daughter return.
Once again, we’re pretty happy with the amount of (mostly) good text we’ve accumulated, [...]
