mispeled.net is now a collective

I’ve been working on this website for over a year now, posting regularly about my work and other things that interest me. But the gaping maw of the internet being what it is, I can’t post as much as I’d like and work on projects at the same time. A change was needed to make this site into what it needs to be.
That change has come.
I’m proud to announce that mispeled.net is no longer the showcase for the work of just one guy. Instead, mispeled.net is a now collective of creative people. Don’t worry, I vouch for them (except for Jeeves. I don’t know how the hell she got involved in this thing).
I’m pleased to introduce these awesome contributors to mispeled.net. I’ll let them introduce themselves:
Angela Sels – Once a precocious creator of art, Ms. Sels then discovered such websites as YouTube, Failblog, and I Can Has Cheeseburger. Since then, it has been a life of lethargy and procrastination with occasional bouts of creative energy. She currently lives and works in Des Moines.
|
Erin Nelsen – Erin Nelsen writes and edits. She dislikes autobiography.

Elric James Collvill – Elric James Colvill is a writer, historian, literary scholar, and an unabashed, lifelong geek. Graduating from ISU in December 2009 with a Master’s Degree in English, Elric has been feeling the love of the recession and is currently cobbling together a living however he can while he pursues his writing career. Presently he is re-editing his first novel, Weird Wyrd, until he feels it is acceptable enough for publication (which is difficult since he never actually feels anything is good enough, but he’ll just have to get over it). Also, he is working as the lead editor for a role-playing game system in development through one of his colleagues, to be released sometime next year if luck holds out. Elric published his Master’s thesis, Fear and Loathing in American Literature: Freedom, the American Dream, and Hunter S. Thompson and performed copy editing work for a scholarly treatment of James Fenimore Cooper’s The Autobiography of a Pocket Handkerchief (sounds bloody exciting, doesn’t it?) in cooperation with senior editor and project leader, Dr. Matthew Wynn Sivils, in 2009. Elric’s main areas of writing interest lie in science-fiction and fantasy, both humorous and dramatic.

Joe Bergeron -_joe is a private fellow, but he has some junk he’d like to share with people. He codes and is generally passionate about creating interesting tools that aid creative people.

Tyler Niska – Tyler Niska serves as keytarist and founding member of progressive gregorian funk band “Bishop’s Porridge.” He has been frequently mistaken for the Northern Lights. Though he is a convicted arsonist, his voting rights were restored after a controversial 4-3 state supreme court decision ruled he was mentally unaccountable for his actions. He plans to vote for “lizard people” in 2012. The circumference of his mouth is rumored to be 10 inches but actually measures closer to 9 1/4.

Jeeves Fuzzenstein – Jeeves G. Fuzzenstein is an anthropologist/ connoisseur/ hunter/ writer currently conducting studies in her hometown. She started a facebook page in 2008 to gain credibility as a sentient being and a blog in 2009 to gain credibility as a writer. She has an uncanny and unbiased view of humans that is rarely seen in writers. It’s been a rocky road to the relatively tame life she currently lives in her downtown loft. In her unpublished autobiography, A Million Little Nips, Fuzzenstein documents all too clearly the dark sides of c-nip addiction, a growing problem among American felines. Unlike many others, she struggled free of this dark abyss and is now able to share her partially fabricated and plagiarized story with others. Fuzzenstein’s decision to share her knowledge with the world has given her intense feelings of entitlement, leading her to expect great amounts of fame, money, and respect from those around her.

Thanks for your support!

Goddammit, Luke, it’s _Nelsen._ With a site name like this, though, I don’t know if that’s an error or a metatextual joke.
Hah! The joke’s on you, thanks to my 1984-like ability to edit posts. What are you talking about? We’ve always been at war with Eurasia!
I noticed you listed the new writers alphabetically by first name, then threw me in at the bottom. What’s up with that?
Well, you’re a cat.
Pleased make sure I recieve regular updates…
[...] narcissism, performance anxiety } I’m starting to get a little daunted by this new blog gig at Mispeled. Like the humans, I spend a lot of my internet time expecting someone will actually read and care [...]
