BY FABULIST


I peeped in on the Fabulist the other day, eyes shining with nostalgia, wiping the windows and blowing the dust off the furniture. And look! You guys are lovely! People are still leaving comments, and saying nice things. We have the nicest readers *ever* :D

Our hiatus is nearing an end, and soon we shall break free with song! and art! and as much brightness and light as we can grab by the armful. We'll gather back at this point, and tumble forth for a Brand New Adventure, and we can't wait for you guys to come with us. New site ahoy!

In the meantime, though, things are awfully quiet around here. It seems that the mailing list got broken (sorry Roger!), and it seems sensible that we should wave, and let you know where to find us (and where we'll post updates along the way).

We each have Twitter accounts, which is where we hang out during the day and shoot the breeze. Do come and say hello! There's also a direct Fabulist Twitter all of its own, which we'll use as a de facto mailing list (mailing lists are so Web 1.0, dahlink). We love hearing from you, and if you've ideas or suggestions for the new site, do send them in. We're friendly folk, and we like to natter. Olga can also be found at her music website here.

Thanks for being awesome, and patient, and understanding that we needed to reshape things. We'd much rather take six months off, and reimagine what we're doing (and why we're doing it), then let things fizzle out ignominiously. Things that should fizzle include: rock shandy floats (when the ice cream hisses against glass), sparklers and the tail end of a rockets, pushing against the sky. Websites, we felt, most definitely should not.

So we got out our clay (and our mála) and we're building a better home for our art. It feels very, very good :)

This is to say: thank you. Thank you for being awesome, and for sending us emails and comments. Thank you for understanding. Thank you for sending us beautiful things. We'll be back soon :)

I wholeheartedly support this tap-dancing on the curb of the internet for spare change. Lovelovelove this website.

Yay! Great to see signs of movement and life again! Don't hurry, take all the time you need to get things up and running the way you want them, and know that when you do, whenever you do, there will be much rejoicing. :-)

Still looking forward to the new improved Fabulist.
In fact, yesterday I twitted a video thinking you guys might like it...

The helm responds, the rudder turns; the horizon of promise gets ever nearer...

...as you dust off that well-worn furniture - we sit and watch and listen, rapt in the knowledge that more sparks will flow and fizz in all the right places :)

In the new Michael Jackson movie 'This Is It', there is a scene where the choreographer is demonstrating the spring-loaded trapdoors that will launch the dancers up onto the stage in puffs of smoke... There are two settings, "Elevator" and "Toaster". Which is what made me think of you guys, as I'm sure you all have these devices installed in your various apartments and clocktower lofts.

Love is infinite! Viva la Fabulist!

You used to be a bright spot in my day,
but now it seems you've went away.
When I think of you now, it makes me sad,
because of all the times you made me glad.
I wish you would come back to us one day,
but it's not looking likely I have to say.
I'll keep on hoping that I am wrong,
that you will return with a song.


Love you Fabulist!! Come back!! We miss you!!!

Any chance of this website coming back, or should I go ahead and delete it from my bookmarks?

Posted by: kate at March 22, 2010 01:47 AM

I really hope this comes back. if it doesn't, you should hand it off to someone! I'm sure anyone (including myself) would love to take over fabulist and bring it back with a vengeance!
