LITGASM

This is the first GASM I've come up with in a while which I intend on making a big fuss about. So please help out by participating / spreading the word, because the project is pretty ambitious...

LITGASM is the attempt to tag all Discordian works on the web. It was first described in INTERMITTENS, my spaggy Discordian magazine thing.

The problem is that when you're new to Discordia, you've probably read the PD, but nothing else. Where is the other stuff? What have Discordians been up to for the last 50 years? ---other than spagging around on myspace, livejournal, etc etc etc....

I would like us to create a central suppository of Discordian Works, so if you're into Discordia, you don't have to zip all over the web to find it.

So what's a Discordian Work?


  • Sermons
  • Rants
  • Essays
  • Images
  • Music
  • Specifically Discordian Blog Posts
  • Religious Crap - rituals, ceremonies, holydays, chants, etc etc
  • Whatever else you feel is appropriate

What you can do:

-Spread LITGASM to other Discordian people and places
-Get a del.icio.us account and start tagging stuff

Tag All Discordian works with both the tags "litgasm" and "discordian"!


Thoughts? Ideas?

Cram,

I've started a del.icio.us account, and have tagged several "major" Discordian works already. You can find my del.icio.us account at http://delicious.com/Manta_Obscura.

More to come soon.
Everything I wish for myself, I wish for you also.

You said "suppository", heh heh heh!

So do you want to tag them or acquire them to host at one place?

And what do you mean by "tag them?"

Cramulus

tag them. With del.icio.us.

tag them LITGASM and other words that might apply

this is an archival project, so be descriptive and make it easy for people to find what they're looking for



it's going to be quite a bit of work, because we have to tag, like, all this stuff:

Could StumbleUpon help with this?

basically you can check out the progress at this page: http://delicious.com/tag/litgasm

every URL you tag on delicious* with litgasm will appear on that feed. for extra descriptiveness, add a bunch of other tags to it as well. and write the description, and title in a useful manner.

* Yahoo bought del.icio.us and removed the dots. I'm sad about this. Not that Yahoo bought it, but about the dots.

From here on in, I would like to be notified when my work is being used beforehand.

What I post on a forum with people I more or less know is not how I would post to a new, unknown audience and I would like time to make any necessary edits or raise questions about the use of the essay in question.  This does not necessarily relate to generally using my work elsewhere a la kopyleft (where an individual can highlight or extrapolate on the parts they wish to use) but the fixed format magazine/download, which does not allow for such feedback.

TIA

IIRC there are a few people here who are involved in deviantart and livejournal. There's a discordian community in both of those places.

Can I get a volunteer to go there and wave around the litgasm flag,
and get the project started?

ALSO: anyone who wants to help, but doesn't know where to start--
post, and I'll give you a section to start tagging
