Starting 8/1/2010 this blog will no longer be Heart & Crossbones.

I have decided to continue using this blog, but under a different title and url. There are multiple reasons I've decided to stay rather than switch to a different blog:

1) I have been writing on this blog for four years, and although many of my old posts make me cringe, they are still a testament to what I have gone through and how much I have changed.

2) Although it seems as if everybody now uses Tumblr, I do not plan to abandon Blogger. I confess that I actually have a Tumblr account, but after experimenting with it for a few weeks, I decided that Tumblr is much more picture-oriented and not catered towards people like me who tend to write sprawling posts.

3) Scrapping this blog would be essentially scrapping copyright evidence of my work. Let's suppose somebody has plagiarized and taken credit for writing one of my many vignettes or parodies or movie reviews. With this blog, I can prove that I wrote so-and-so vignette on this date. Once I erase all that evidence, I have nothing I can use to verify my work.

If everything runs smoothly, by August this blog will henceforth be at [sophelia-lee.blogspot.com]. I realize I've only given an advance notice of about two days, but this is for the best.

Thanks for everything.
