Pulp Everlasting

Curious where the name “Pulp Everlasting” came from?

I actually don’t have a meaningful answer. I wanted to make this site and had to find a name for it. I considered making it a subdomain of TrixieFontaine.com or using one of my other unused domain names (maybe BlueDiaries.com) but decided it needed its own place with a fresh name. I thought about calling it “Trixie Tales” but that sounded too insipid. I didn’t want it to sound to porno-fantastic, either, or to limit what kind of writing I might post.

Pulp Everlasting is just a juicy contradiction in terms that I thought of and liked after discovering that “Pulp and Circumstance” already exists.

I like that the subject matter and quality of writing in pulp magazines and books varied wildly. I like that serial novels and series following one character’s adventures made them addictive. I both love and loathe that their format was ephemeral, something I also love and loathe about web publishing – it has both the promise of archival foreverness and the reality of physical intangibility and vulnerability to being easily wiped away.

The sound of Pulp Everlasting is both tawdry and romantic. Just as prone to being judged trash as it is savored as precious.
