10th Anniversary

Ten years of Great Society!

In April of 2001, I launched a site called “Dirty Freaks.” Despite the pornographic (and, so, financial) promise of the name, the site was dedicated to ranting and satire. The original plan was to have a series of themed articles and, in a sort of backhanded way, “practice writing.” The web designer of Dirty Freaks was co-writing a movie script with me that eventually inspired my Lousy Novel, so we wanted to get into the habit of writing and, by extension, create a forum for writers. The very early, very clumsy precursor of the current GS forums.

Quite a bit has happened over the last ten years. Old friends have been lost, new friends have been found. There’s been drama, love, pain, suffering, and renewal. We’ve watched the core group of folks evolve either in the forums or on the front page. So, in 2011, we’ll be featuring anniversary articles, archival trash, and other shenanigans. You’ll be able to follow the articles right here.

Enjoy! And, as always, your support is appreciated.
