As is evidenced by this image WORDS are my good point.
I’ve spent some time exploring the Principia Discordia forums recently looking through the GASM discussions. It’s very interesting looking though the formative discussions that were the beginning of what are probably some of the most exciting projects in Discordia at present.
One of these is Intermittens (of which I’ve recently churned out a copy). Number 11 is presently in development, possibly more than that.
During these formative discussions, there was a bit of a debate going on about who Intermittens was for. Was it simply a PD project? Or was it bigger than that? Should it be made easier for people to participate in Intermittens without being part of PD, or should they just get into gear, get with the program and get an account?
I’m very passionate about Intermittens, mostly because I think it’s probably the most engaging, community centered project in Discordia at present. My view is that it belongs to Discordia in all its forms, to every Discordian in every nation, over every ocean, hiding in every cupboard!
Intermittens has hit double figures. Just by reading through a few copies you can watch it evolve and mutate into an interesting and bizarre creature, with each edition expanding and modding what has come before.
I would like to take this moment to invite EVERYONE to participate in Intermittens. You can participate by submitting writing or images, by electing to edit an edition, or just by submitting your ideas. This is a call to arms and hairy legs, for all Discordians to rise up and become a part of this very interesting and engaging project.
Where do you start? Well, while I have just emphasized that I don’t think PD.com should BE Intermittens it IS a fantastic starting point, not least because that will put you in contact with the people who have already done this. Bang out an account and post your honorable intentions in the appropriate area.
If you don’t want to collaborate through forums, I can suggest you check out Discordian groups on Facebook, Livejournal or elsewhere. There’s a good many communities about who can be in on this.
Finally, I monitor the Intermittens email at present; Intermittens at gmail.com. Send articles, artwork, requests for info, or provide advice for IM readers/writers (I’ll be using these to compile an ‘info pack’ to send out.)
(Edit: The best place to submit on the IM site is the FORUM.)

Great post, sounds like some good ideas for the future of Intermittens. I agree with you that Intermittens is the most engaging Discordian project going on right now, precisely because of its open source nature. So even though it has an intractable relationship with PD.com, it will really help to get new energy involved in the project by opening it up more.
The last two Intermittens have been awesome, by the way, and looking forward to yours, Placid!
Thanks for posting this. While Intermittens certainly got started through PD.com, I agree that it shouldn’t be limited to that Professor Cramulus who edited the first issue never intended it to be a one-site magazine. For my own issue, no. 7, I purposely mined for material from many Discordian sites and cabals, and was hoping that would set a precedent. And thank you for your issue.
Also can’t people submit material to the Intermittens site directly? It seems to me that could be the best way to do it. It’s at http://www.Intermittens.org.
Well, it was there. You can reach it at http://intermittens.theinvisiblecollege.com. And I hope they get issues past no. 8 up there soon–I need to add them to my site http://discordia.loveshade.org/xtra/intermittens.html
Ta, Loveshade. I’ll add the forum address now.
Can you not pull the PDFs of Scribd for your page? I can send you mine if you like. I think the other two are on theri way onto the main IM page.
Thanks. Technically I could pull them from Scribd, but it screwed up the fonts and a little of the layout of my issue 7. The good Professor Cramulus learned that’s because I didn’t specify embedded fonts–oops. I want to make sure I get the other issues the way the editors actually designed them as opposed to how Scribd reinterprets them.
