As we know, AOL will soon be parting company with John Scalzi, creator of the AOL Journal By the Way, the Weekend Assignments, Monday Photo Shoots, and a handful of nifty Ficlets.
This is one of those "by mutual agreement" situations; AOL is
contemplating a change in direction, and Scalzi is contemplating how
much easier it will be to meet his deadlines for writing books if he's
not busy amusing us with news of phosphorescent cats and fun games and
pictures out hotel windows.
I already did my main Scalzi tribute entry, so I'm not going to go on and on about him tonight.
That's where you come in.
Are
you one of John Scalzi's many fans? Was it because of him that you
first learned how to upload a photo or a video, or had at least one
thing to write about each weekend? Has By the Way or the Ficlets blog
always been a "must read" for you? As time ticks away to the end of the
year, when Scalzi's AOL contract runs out, would you like to show your
appreciation for his four years of fun and inspiration and community
building, and share your favorite Scalzi memes or moments with other
readers?
If so, we've got just the journal for you!
It's called
and it just went live Wednesday night. Carly (whose idea this was), Steven and I have put it together on AOL as a centralized place in which we can all thank John Scalzi for all his good work, and leave links to our own tributes, favorite Monday Photo Shoots, Weekend Assignments, Ficlets or other Scalzi-related fun. We've got three entries to get things started, and we'll be adding more over the next three weeks, featuring YOUR links and tributes, plus several surprises. So click on over and see what you think. Let's gather our scattered journaling community one more time, and give our Blogfather a big send-off!
