Paul Ford wants to make Ftrain even weirder. I want to take the interlinking, intertwingling hierarchical shenanigans of the site and actually USE them to create a narrative-made-up-of- subnarratives-made-up-of- sub-sub-narratives... The overall structure will be many-pronged parallel narratives and projects running slowly together over 1-2 years, at least... These folks (except for me) are all fictional characters, but just like real people they fight, creaze Webzines, cook together, lose their minds, and so forth. Their work is attributed, and they all have email addresses. Building a voice for each one - and getting out of my head enough to simulate each one - is what I'm currently working on.
