I really like this new character - she's blunt and modern and antagonistic in a way no one else in the story has been. Nothing is given for free in this series just because someone we like wants it. I hope Mariko can refine her idea to something she can be confident in.

New antagonist just dropped, and it's ageist! How spicy. I think she's dismissive of the audiences who would like Mariko's concept, because she's not part of that audience. But seniors exist, and many of them look at ads.

Not that long ago it wasn't uncommon to have network sites: one home page to link you to many different smaller pages. Most of the ones I knew were for hobbies or fansites, but the system could easily be tweaked. You could have a series of 10 or 12 blogs, linked from a common index page, each posting whatever the author felt like. It wouldn't have to be a magazine, exactly, let alone share the same site layout.

Mariko wants to create a modern version of what she had at Gunsei, but it still isn't clear what for. Although I'm not sure she really needs to write 'for' anything: it really would be enough if she just kept writing online and sharing on social media... and she could easily tell other seniors how to do the same, once she's learned. I don't know how this is going to get resolved.

(Whenever I see those convenient wiki-based fanpages, optimized for mobile viewing, I think about how many fansites were lost to time as people gradually lost their places to belong. Why edit and code a website that's only optimized for viewing on a certain size monitor when you could just put information into a wiki that everyone can use? The Internet is a constantly-changing place. This young girl may have used it her whole life, but staying ahead of the game isn't that easy...)

A generous reading might be the editor doesn’t need to understand, just the zine authors and audience?

Hah! The grandpa simpson monologue returns!

"I used to be with 'it," but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it' anymore and what's 'it' seems weird and scary. It'll happen to you!"

This is turning into one of them zen riddles, isn't it?

How many here are old enough to remember portal sites and web rings?

... probably not that many people would. Time is weird.

I guess a more recent example would be a linktree on a social media bio?
