People keep emailing and asking what papertowel.org is.

Of course since they’re familiar with napkin.org, they assume it’s going to have user-submitted content. I don’t want it to though. I still haven’t decided… the site isn’t up yet, so I can change it however I want. But I really wanted it to be just for me. I don’t know if I’ll be motivated to write for it more than I wrote for igno-rant, but at least it’s easier to update. So hopefully I will.

If I open the site up to submission, I’m going to obtain a major guilt complex. It’s one thing to reject seven out of eight napkins submitted to napkin.org–they’re only one or two sentences each–but when it comes to rejecting entire stories, essays, and so forth, I know I’m going to feel horrible. But of course I can’t accept everything that everyone submits; some of it will be just plain awful.

Then again, if I open the site up to submission, people will gain a greater interest in it. People always have more interest in something that they’re a part of, and the web is no exception. So of course I’m risking traffic if I don’t open the site up to submission.

I’ll have to give the whole thing some more thought before I make my final decision. I must weigh the pros and cons carefully. As time goes by, though, napkin.org users are getting anxious. Soon they’ll be revolting.

Of course, some of them already are.
