The beginning of the material for this project, the spine set in chronological order, is mostly stuff you’ve already read, or could’ve read, or can still read -- the writings of many, from blogs, the message board at DavidsonCats.com and other sources.
What if we re-posted them here, one by one, over the coming weeks and months, and people could comment on them, thoughts present on thoughts past, and then the best of those comments would make the bound and printed finished product as footnotes of sorts?
I’m thinking not so much of footnotes like David Foster Wallace’s brilliant, sprawling tangents, but rather footnotes like the short, interesting add-ons that ran in smaller, separate type on the sides of the pages in Bill Simmons’ first book.
Thoughts?

Maybe also include some of the original comments written in response to said blogs, posts, etc. at the time they were written.
ReplyDeleteI like the element of a story. Which would means it shouldn't always be organized by time.
