Pepys Road
Just signed up yesterday to Pepys Rd at Storythings.com.
Its a marketing devise for Citadel, a novel by --
I like the premise - you sign up - it asks where and when you were born and where you live now. The idea is that then by sending you a series of questions through email it will tell you how you fair over the next 20 years and how you end up in Pepys Rd. The question when it came though wasn't really a question. Two alternative statements were posed. Either I would be watching the Olympics this summer or I would avoid them. I was then taken to a web page - a story by the author - but it wasn't really a story - more a statement about the Queens jubilee and the Olympics being representative of luck and chance and the hand we're dealt at birth - For me this was strange to lump together the Olympics and the jubilee in this respect - As an experience it hasn't whetted my appetite yet - I have no expectations of what might happen next - and no sense of any characters, or locations or plot.
