Intermittens: Call to Arms
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.)

The Book of Eris
The Book of Eris is one of the more popular pieces of New Discordian Literature. It was written by the brilliant and irreverent St. Vincent Verthaine of New Orleans.
If you’ve ever wondered where Discordians go when they want to go to church, you might try asking Vincent. As I understand it, he operates a for-real Discordian church, the Non-United Church of Eris of Latterday Gothic Industrial Saints.
