Please excuse the construction, but having more carefully read (or should I say, 'read at all') both the Fortune City Faq and the Content Guidelines, I've gotten rid of my second flat (used to be #9 on Stone Temple Mews), and ditched the idea of a full-service selling and buying Bookstore at this location.

Per the Content Guidelines, that kind of commercial usage would be, to quote Monty Python, Right Out.

A virtual coffee-shop, however, with nothing for sale and lots of personal venting and ranting, fits perfectly in the whole Fortune City scheme.

There'll still be a small stage for folks who want to present their own writings, and a book for visitors to write their reviews.

And I'm still planning a loft for writing and reading groups, and a lounge for folks who just want to sit around and chat.

Not only that, but talking with some folks who are In The Know I've had to put all of this on hold until I get some legal work done to make sure that I don't catch Serious Personal Heat for the various postings made by various passers-by.

So, it'll be a Little Bit before all of this gets going again.

In the meantime, I'm still planning on posting reviews here, focusing on books and movies that me and 'the staff' have actually read or watched. We won't hesitate to tell you if a book or movie sucked, or if it rocked hard.
