Courtesy of the increasingly indispensable Infocult comes another horror fictionblog, Dionaea House. I haven’t gotten any further than the first two or three pages, but, well, delightfully unpleasant. It’s interesting to read fictionblogs besides my own and compare how the “stories” are structured. While I have several narrative signposts in mind, I’m mostly trying to blog the outbreak (lowercase) the way I blog real life–when I feel like it, when I have the time, when I have something to say, when one of the people in my comment threads provides me with material to riff on (this has been particularly helpful in hammering out how the epidemic has affected different regions of the country, for example). Sites like Dionaea House and Laylasweetie, for all that they take advantage of the Internet’s capabilities, seem to me to have a more traditional storytelling structure.
