Who's in charge here, anyway?

In the last two and a half years, InTheWeird.com has become the destination of choice for up-to-the-minute information on el chupacabra, along with the occasional book or art review, plus all the anti-conservative ranting you can stomach. All things considered, an average thousand hits a week is not bad for an irregularly updated website with no cohesive mission statement.

We used to have a cohesive mission statement. I think it was something like, "hype Woodeye Glass"." But Woodeye is too busy making Woodeye Glass to do a lot of hyping. So that's cool. Buy Woodeye Glass"!!!

But what about Dragon? What can I hype?

Of course, there's Dragon's Library, a site that is updated far more often than In the Weird. It's still totally random, though. And weird. Don't forget weird.

And if you really want to see weird, there's Raincoat Flashers, where you can read some of my short-short fiction. Along with some other short-short fiction from the site's previous incarnation as a writing contest. But mostly just my short-short fiction, because when you inherit a website it's yours to do what you want with, right?

Speaking of which, anyone interested in a website where you can post outrageous names for imaginary bands? It's up for grabs.

And how about a little hype for Nova Ren Suma, the author of Dani Noir? We've got some original content coming your way in the form of an interview with the author. Like the real chupacabra, this site is hardy, adapted to succeed in a sparse environment, and difficult to pin down. And just because you haven't heard from us in a while doesn't mean we're not here.
