For the purposes of The Centre Cannot Hold, this all of the blog posts that don’t fit anywhere else, or doesn’t pop up often enough to rate a weekly feature. This includes all of the following categories:

• 1001 Afterlives to Visit After You Die — the next logical step after all those books of 1001 whatevers to experience before you die.
• Alerts — very occasional posts, usually regarding political causes I find both important and urgent.
• Blessays — longer posts in more of an essay form and general blogging about my life.
• Bookmadness — chapter by chapter analyses of some of my favourite books.
• The Campaign for Symmetrical English — occasional humourous posts about the words whose existence is implied by other English words.
• Counterfactuals — speculations about alternate historical paths.
• Crossing Over — a great chain of crossovers between various fictional worlds, primarily from a roleplaying point of view, interspersed with other, more random crossovers.
• Daft Lyrics Database — humourous posts about the sheer absurdity of many, many popular music lyrics.
• Festivals — occasional Top Fives of things that I enjoy.
• Fictions — original fiction by me, either a short story or new excerpt from a longer work in progress. There are currently several different stories in progress on this site – I’ll try not to lean too hard on any one of them.
• Gaming — variants and alternatives for games of various kinds – new and different uses for, among others, Chess, Monopoly, assorted roleplaying games and Lego Heroica.
• Militant Agnostic — I’m an agnostic. Sometimes I get fired up about it and write on the subject.
• Political — Commentary on current events in Australian or world politics or more general pieces about particular issues. Often but not always a humourous take on things.

• Station Keeping — general announcements and navigation aids.
