The Lore of the Avatars
This is my Blog Apocalypse post, which is related to a charitable event started by UrbanMonk. I got "tagged" with this "meme" thing, which is something like a chain letter but without all the unpleasantness, thanks to Crabby McSlacker. Anyway, I thought it was something worth participating in, so I've "tagged" Leah at The Goat's Lunch Pail in return.
If I can't post on my blog anymore, what should I say in my last post? I've been building the world of the Avatars for my fiction for years now, and I am quite passionate about it. Yes, there is other work that I'd like to do, because I want to experiment with different kinds of fantasy, but I must admit that I have a lot of time invested in this particular story.
I've developed a fictional culture in a mythical land called Hunjan, and it's quite complex. There are a number of clans and each has its own patron god or goddess, and its own variation of the "core" culture. And this is just for the prehistoric past of this world.
In modern times, the world changes from a sudden influx of magic. It pretty much endures an apocalyptic event of its own, in fact...
In short, please...READ MY WORK!
Thank you all putting up with my blundering attempts at creating a blog.

I think that's a great "final" blog sentiment. READ MY WORK. Yeah! I can just see it - the blogosphere fading away as individual computers die - and there's Michael desparately typing up the final pages of his Avatar world so we can read it before the Blog Apocalypse silences us all.
Maybe there's a message to everyone in that, Michael. We sometimes act as if we have forever.
I've enjoyed your blog, Michael, so you're welcome.
Thanks for the tag.
Dawn: We don't have forever? Damn, I keep forgetting that. Must eat more cupcakes!
And Leah, I would have tagged you too but I figured you'd already been infected or soon would be since we run in the same circles. I'm sure you'll do a better job of it than I did.
And Michael, that was quite clever! Not only is it exactly what we'd all really do if it was the last day (Read me! Read me!) but it was also a nice introduction to what you do for those of us who are new to your blog.
Thank you all. I appreciate it.
Sometimes I act as if I have forever, Dawn, but other times I rush into things without thinking first. When will I ever find a happy medium?
Hehe...nice final post. Nothing wrong with wanting people you read your work, that's what we are blogging for right! Thanks for participating.
READ MY WORK.
That's a GREAT last message. I like it. :)
You're welcome, UrbanMonk. And thanks to both of you.
Yup, "read my work." Great "final" post! :)
Thanks, Thomma.
