Because we want to change things up as we wait for the AI Chatbot gimmick to play itself out– hordes of simple-minded tech suckers-with-gadgets posing as artists and writers.

We want writing that’s faster to post and faster to read.

We hope to eventually have regular contributors along with ourselves. Maybe even invited Guest Stars, a la old TV series.

The writing should be different, but not difficult. Quirky and/or entertaining. This blog will have more variety in presentation and writing than the numerous too-long stodgy Substack formal essays currently inflicted on readers.

Fast Pop will be possibly a supplement to our main site and possibly a replacement for it. Who knows? We might go offline total analog total anarchy in a week, so disgusted are both of us right now by the insanities of technology.

“A desperate measure,” you say. Maybe! But we’re going to try a series of new measures and all kinds of new writing– mixed with commentary and fragmented rants– as a way to break the stultifying logjam calling itself literature today.
