New Filter Created...

...having nothing to do with religion.

Basically, for anyone who remembers (and it doesn't reflect badly on you if you don't) I've been threatening for a while now to start writing some fiction, most specifically a novella that I posted a few paragraphs of a beginning to maybe a year or so ago.

I created the filter for anyone who's interested in reading along as I write it and whatever other fiction comes after it so as not to inflict it upon anyone uninterested, and also because, if it works out as I'd like it to, I will probably try to publish it.

The general idea is that it's going to be about a remote town that's essentially cut off from the rest of the world. In this town, when people die, their ghosts continue to live and interact with the town- basically, their lives continue, just without physical bodies. The problem is that the ghosts of these people are disappearing inexplicably when they've never disappeared before (except under very specific, pre-planned circumstances)

It's not going to be particularly exciting or action-packed...for anyone who's read any Gabriel Garcia Marquez, that sort of tone is what I'm after- the interest coming from odd little supernatural/magical details in an otherwise mostly realistic story.

I'm pretty sure that I have the ending worked out, and I'll warn you, it's not going to be some big, exciting "surprise" ending...I wouldn't at all be surprised if many people figured out what happened before the end (and honestly, it's probably not super-duper original), the point isn't so much getting to the ending but the telling of the story itself.

So...if you're interested, comment here and I'll add you to the filter.
