I know, right?

Wow, they really don’t warn you about the drop on the day after launching a Kickstarter. Kinda like a cousin to LARP drop

@jaybushman.bsky.social and I shared more details on the immersive storytelling parts of #SleepyHollow1998 with @noproscenium.com www.noproscenium.com/now-funding-...

Thanks @noproscenium.com!

Head back to the era of Y2K for a version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow told through letters, sketches, and artifacts from the era of cassette tapes, flip phones, and zines. Our latest Now Funding is all about SLEEPY HOLLOW, 1998, which launched today on Kickstarter.

We’ve been asked about what the age rating is for SLEEPY HOLLOW, 1998. Neither me nor @meganwesterby.bsky.social have kids, so we’re having a hard time figuring out. So I turn to you, #parentsofbluesky

We just launched a Kickstarter for SLEEPY HOLLOW, 1998 - a reimagining of the classic set in the 1990s and delivered through a series of letters that come to your mailbox. For anyone who loves classic literature, the 90s, or pie (pie plays a big role in the story) www.kickstarter.com/projects/jay...

Psyched to share that the Kickstarter campaign for “SLEEPY HOLLOW, 1998” goes live tomorrow morning! Here’s a sneak peek into what we’ve been cooking up: jaybushman.kit.com/posts/kickst...

This season of For All Mankind takes place in 2012. So which of the Mars kids is watching Lizzie Bennet Diaries?

And what are you, reader, but a Loose-Fish and a Fast-Fish, too?

I've had a version of this meeting I don’t know how many times: Them: We’re going to tell this really intense story on social media, get people invested, and then reveal it was all fiction. And they’ll be like, “cool!” Right? Me: That’s called a hoax. They’ll hate you for it.

Anyone want to meet up for a last meal at Johnie’s? #MiracleMile

Back in the early days of Twitter, I met a few other folks experimenting with the platform for telling stories, and we traded notes. (Shout out to @nicholasbelardes.bsky.social). Then, once a year like clockwork, someone would come onto the platform to announce. “The First Twitter Novel.”

Possibly unpopular opinion: having a canon - even one that badly needs subversion and disruption - is preferable to not having one. jaybushman.kit.com/posts/being-...

Baseball opening day, Shakespeare memories, and the way monotropic obsession kinda let to a career. jaybushman.kit.com/posts/specia...

He will really, truly never get away from the sound of the woman who loves him. www.instagram.com/reels/DWZDyL...

Jay has not learned the first lesson of not being seen, not to put himself on video. jaybushman.kit.com/posts/how-no...

Who wants to get some arepas tomorrow?

best sport in the world.

Damn, I guess now I’m really going to have to write that listicle “5 Screenwriting Secrets of the Bene Tleilaxu” before Dune Part 3 comes out

More adventures in transmedia theory, everyone’s favorite! You know how in comics, the gutter, the space between the panels, is where meaning gets created in the mind of the reader? That old Scott McCloud thing from Understanding Comics.

In honor of Ryan Coogler, I think I’m gonna start getting involved with saying “I got involved with”

In 2007, I wrote one of the first Twitter novels. Over the fifteen years that followed, I built a career on telling stories through social media — using social accounts like individual voices in a chorus.

I grew up in a house that treated the Oscars like a High Holy Day. I used to get outraged by the stupid mistakes the academy always seemed to make. I mean, in some senses, the actual purpose of awards shows is to stoke arguments (in addition to union busting)

THERE’S WALLACE!!!!

the Nick Castellanos joke in this week’s Paradise was *chef’s kiss*

I’m usually someone who works at the intersection of storytelling and new media, in emerging media, or the portentiously-named “Future of Storytelling.” So how did I end up doing a project on simple, old paper? jaybushman.kit.com/posts/party-...

This looks so perfectly, manically, ostentatiously warped, I cannot freaking wait. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV8P...

Soon, we're launching a Kickstarter for "Sleepy Hollow, 1998," a 90s retelling of Washington Irving's classic, delivered to your mailbox as letters, sketches, and artifacts. The Headless Horseman in the era of cassettes, flip phones, and zines. Physical storytelling, with a few digital surprises.

Gonna be so many Apocalypse Now jokes this season. “I don’t see any pitching methods at all.”

Last year, I learned I had AuDHD. Though I hear it's only AuDHD if it comes from the Neurodivergent region of France, otherwise it's...um.. Sparkling Autism? This is my third bite at the neurodivergence apple, and the biggest, chunkiest one.

And, ha, the digital marketing gods saw I was dissing the need for visuals and didn't include a preview image, so here you go

This is where I get to pitch the world @jaybushman.bsky.social and I have created: Sleepy Hollow, 1998. A story told in the mail ... and maybe also through mixtapes, blog posts, and pie. stampact.co

I am a shitty web designer. For years, I had this janky old Squarespace website with inconsistent templates, mismatched font sizes, and a powder-blue color scheme that I think I copied from Douglas Rushkoff's website, circa 2008. Worse, it did a terrible job of explaining what it is I do.

“The Bride!” is totally unhinged, in the best possible way. And I’m gonna pay Jessie Buckley one of the biggest complements I can: she’s got Tim Curry energy

Unveiling a new project that I’m very exicted about. And some other, more personal things… jaybushman.kit.com/posts/unveil...

oh hey, looks like some interactvie shenanigans are afoot in the world of #Paradise paradiseradio.hulu.com

This Jackpot sucks

God-tier episode of #Industry tonight

“…let us sit upon the ground And tell rad stories of the arrest of princes”

It doesn't seem to occur to anybody, liberal or conservative, that the founders--and many of the rest of the important historical leaders--were as full of shit as any of the rest of us.

Okay, I need someone to find out if it’s Mickey or Konrad who’s the Mets fan #Industry

One day I’m actually gonna make that podcast doc about playing The Beast, I swear

Well this sent me on a nostalgia trip #TheBeast www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-RZ...
