[...] I admit it: I’m a pathetic little fanboy. Still, I can’t stop grinning at the sight of the illustrious Mr. Hubbard himself chatting away about composing on the C-64. That’s something I never got into, myself – I never had any good software for it, so I never did more than the occasional sound effect. The idea of using a minimalistic piece of SID musicÂ and expanding it into full-blown orchestra composition is quite interesting. It reminds me of my own thoughts about achievement through restriction…but instead of remaining at that level, it is extrapolated into something much more. [...]

I read a comment in an early blog entry of yours, that rules/style guidelines for Fibs were to come later; I must admit that I was a bit disappointed that you never followed through with that. But I guess that it was sound reasoning, judging from how popular Fibs became! Stricter regulations might have turned people away, I suppose.

Thanks for the comment!

There was (and still is) a fair amount of conversation about Fibs as poetry vs. Fibs as puzzle vs. Fibs as a hybrid… or something else entirely! There’s around 1000 Fibs in the comments of my blog, and it’s safe to say that some of them are poetic, some powerful, some funny, and some are merely 20 syllables laid out in the proper format. I decided early on that I wasn’t gonna try and figure out which were “valid,” because part of the great fun of April, when this took off, was the sheer poetry of sooooo many people simply creating. That can only be a good thing. As for where people take it… well, that’s now part of the fun, too.

Thanks for the link and the thoughts….
