| | I have been writing a personal blog and have run across some other individuals who also write either from an Objectivist's perspective or on Objectivist topics. I was wondering the other day if any Objectivist specific sites existed for showcasing the works of up-and-coming writers from the Objectivist community. Upon searching google, I found mostly forum postings asking the same question and not any sites dedicated to the idea. So rather than yell at the wind, I started one on wordpress and am now seeking additional contributors who might be interested in joining us.
My focus is going to be specific to either objectivist topics or objectivist perspectives and I am mostly interested for the sake of this site in focusing on works of a creative nature, namely fiction, poetry and what little non-fiction I will consider would be in the nature of objectivist perspectives on history or current events - namely not opinion or commentary. (if this has any success, I may start another multi-contributor site for that later, but there are already plenty of those types of O'ist writer sites already)
If you are a fiction writer who could use some additional exposure for some of your works or would like to generate additional traffic for your own existing blogs or other writing, that was my primary interest in starting the site, sharing objectivist viewpoints by way of creative literature being the second.
At this point it time, it will be a not-for-profit endeavor but if there is any interest in it, I would not only be interested but would be compelled to try to generate revenues from it in some way. I am mostly interested in reasonably dedicated contributors but will consider single submission posts and have already set up an anonymous user on the system for that purpose.
If you would be interested, please drop me an email at treii28@hotmail.com and be sure to include something in the subject to let me know you are a writer interested in contributing.
The name of the site that I chose is the Object Opus or 'ObjectOpus' for short and I already made up a cute octopus for a mascot/logo. Feel free to check it out and contact me if you would be interested in contributing:
http://objectopus.wordpress.com
(I just got the configurations in place so only my information is on there now but I have 3 other people that will be added shortly and I'm desperately trying to interest an objectivist poet to join us or to at least let me post some of his poems)
