The Mainifesto

I am a collector of texts. This is who I am and what I do to pass the long afternoons of my life, for my own amusement and for the sake of any who stuble across my collection. I cannot comment on the quality of these works, except to say that they amuse me. Some are mediocre, and written with little thought for conclusion. Some are well written, and would do well in the published world. Some stories never happened, and yet still others are true. These distinctions I leave to the mind of the reader. They are my collection, and they all hold equal place in the annals I record, unjudged by the fickle foibles of taste and talent which are so prevalant in this world. Perhaps you will enjoy these stories, perhaps you will not. It is not for me to know, and I will not judge you if you see no merit in them after reading them in full. Who am I to judge? I am only The Collecter.

A Beginning

Today is an interesting day, a beginning if you will. After a lifetime of solitary collection, the evolution of a simple passtime into a calling which has driven me throughout the years, I have decided to share something of my immense collection with the world. While my collection is not something which one could realistically transcribe within even the most unlaiden schedule, I will choose from my collection a wide range of stories to transcribe and publish for the eyes of the world, and for the first time read by persons other than myself and their original authours. 

This venture is new to me, and the very act of publishing these stories gives me no small sense of unease, as it is a welcoming of strangers into what has always been my own private calling. It is a sensation akin to inviting the world into my home, and I wonder if it is a venture that will continue to interest me tomorrow, or the tomorrow that follows tomorrow. Regardless, I will continue to collect, and for however long this venture may last, I invite you to join me in my world.
