| URL being held ransomI have had the unluckiest thing happen. My www.crossmediastorytelling.com domain expired without me being notified. It was subsequently taken by a company who now want at least $200USD for it. I cannot believe this has happened,especially with Max’s book just out and my domain name for CMS all through it! I only just changed to cross-mediaentertainment a month or so ago and just redirected all the CMS traffic to here. Not everyone knows,yet,that I’ve changed domain names,and some people won’t until they enter CMS. I had always intended to keep both running anyway (two points-of-entry). And now they never will know. I am furious and frustrated. The company who manages my domain name,registerfly,hasn’t got back to me (I received email notifications everyone of my domain name except this time). I will always autorenew now.
I feel so sad. I’ve lost a digital child.  All is good! They’ve given my URL back! Yay!

Christy–
Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you. I do indeed appreciate you “finding”me,although the blog that you posted on is,was,and will probably forever be defunct (assuming,of course,that it was ever functional). Anyways,I’m very much in the process of preparing a couple of articles for possible publication,as well as tweaking an PPT presentation I did for my exams (on cross-siting) for self-publication (Grand Text Auto or the like). I”m actually really intrigued by quite a bit of what you’re doing,and think there’s a good deal of synergy between our stuff. I’ll keep you posted on my work. I hope you do the same! Cheers,Christy.
Hello Marc!
Great to hear from you. I was wondering what was happening with Triggers —I thought you were off-line doing lots of writing and reading. Well,I’ve changed your link back to Things and will catch up on your posts. I so look forward to reading your papers and I’ll be putting some out this year too,so you can finally read a bit about my ideas.
