lies

I am happy to enter you into the sweepstakes. Yes, there are some other people already entered, and no, I haven’t yet figured out exactly how it will work. The latest plan is that I will hold some kind of contest and the winner will be written into my will, to receive the ‘lies’ Tumblr domain when I die.

One idea I had was this: I’d like to think that after I’m gone the lies URL will continue to provide content similar to what it does now. That seems like a nice way to treat those who follow me. So my successor as operator of the domain should be someone who has demonstrated an ability to do that.

So:

For one week I will make a point of following everyone who has ever expressed an interest in being given the lies URL. During that time I will “like” and reblog posts by those people according to my usual idiosyncratic criteria. At the end of the week, I will consult the tic-tac-toe board of my favorite blogs on the “Following” page. If any of the contestants have made it into my top nine, I will reward whomever scores highest by leaving the lies URL to them in my will.

What do people think of that? Suggestions for improvement?

Oh: And on the other part of your question. I have one other Tumblr URL currently saved: an-indifferent-penguin. I figure I can always fall back on that if this ‘lies’ thing doesn’t pan out.
