you approach the fire.

listen to the sound it makes as it burns. can you feel the heat on your palms?

thank you, for dropping by our small corner of the web. collectively we're known as Hearthplace, or the Hearth system. you can learn more about who and what we are here, or about systems and plurality in general here.

(feel free head over to sign our guestbook, if you haven't already. we'll be waiting here when you come back. -s)

all of us are still in the process of putting this thing together at the moment, so don't expect things to remain entirely stable for the next while. I haven't got any projects or original writing up yet, but those should be on their way soon. in the meantime, I can tell you a bit about what to expect from this part of site. I expect to have some sort of system blog running here eventually, as well as an (admittedly small at time of recording) collection of personal writing ranging from fantasy fiction to nonfiction rambling on plurality, history, philosophy, queerness whatever strikes our fancy. Kat and Robin are probably going to be putting together a few shrines (something for the Crane Wives band and the 17776 webcomic by Jon Bois are obvious candidates but it's hard to say what exactly they'll put their time toward.)

(personally, I want to try my hand at making some blinkies and buttons. this place is looking kinda empty right now.-L)

In particular, expect the style of the website to shift around a bit. I like what we've got now, but it may need to change in order to contrast with Chev's half of things. Or we might change the homepage style, though I'm not sure what we'd do with it insead of this.

lots of tinkering for us to do, but that's all for now.
