https://skep.place/
Skep's Place is a charming personal site by someone called Skep, featuring snarky classic literature summaries, cocktail guides, deep dives into Calvin and Hobbes' Hobbes, and gaming thoughts on the Playdate handheld and other titles. The site has a warm, witty personality and covers a surprisingly wide range of interests with genuine care and humor.
https://folkmoss.bearblog.dev/
The Folkmoss Logs is a charming personal weblog by a writer who goes by 'the Folkmoss,' covering nostalgia, media, personal experiences, and discoveries from both the web and offline life. Structured like a living book with front matter, back matter, illustrations, and a table of contents, the site blends old-web sensibility with a genuinely literary approach to blogging.
https://maysi.neocities.org/
Mel's Haven is a Neocities personal site built by Maysi (Mel), a self-described creative writer who uses the space to share rant-like pages, art, shrines, and slices of daily life. The site is a passion project in active development, with a blog, microblog, photo section, and growing collection of shrine pages dedicated to personal obsessions.
https://steelypips.org/weblog/2008/05/chesteron_thursday
Kate Nepveu's 'Outside of a Dog' is a long-running book log reviewing fiction across genres, from general fiction and SF to mystery and historical novels. This entry offers a witty take on G.K. Chesterton's 'The Man Who Was Thursday,' with reader discussion in the comments stretching into theological interpretation.
https://clmp.org/readers/directory-of-publishers
CLMP (Community of Literary Magazines and Presses) hosts a searchable directory of independent literary publishers, allowing visitors to find presses and magazines by name, location, type, genre, and category. It serves as a vital hub for the independent publishing world, connecting readers, booksellers, librarians, and writers with small press and literary magazine publishers across the country.
https://besix.neocities.org/
A hauntingly minimalist personal site called 'unholy ghost' with a Dante-inspired greeting that sets a dark, gothic tone. Almost entirely bare of content, it offers little more than an evocative title and atmospheric mood.
https://vcaudley.neocities.org/
Victoria Audley's personal site is the online home of a writer and folklorist who describes herself as 'a ghost escaped from a gothic novel,' covering her books, commissions, and tabletop RPGs. The site has a distinctly atmospheric gothic aesthetic and serves as a hub for her creative work across fiction, folklore, and TTRPGs.
https://wriorango.neocities.org/
Wriorango is a personal Neocities site run by a creator called Rango, featuring a mix of blog posts ranging from reflective personal essays to pop culture commentary, alongside pages for original characters, writing, shrines, and a music log. The site leans heavily into written content and creative expression, making it a cozy corner of the indie web for readers who enjoy candid, voice-driven prose.
https://p1k3.com/
Running since the 1990s, p1k3 is one of the web's longest-lived personal blogs, written by a thoughtful author who mixes lyrical garden observations, short poetry, political reflections, and everyday life into a distinctive literary voice. Posts range from meditative yard-and-garden reports tracking bees, birds, and raised beds to candid confessional writing about anxiety, aging, and the exhausting state of the world.
https://stillness.digital/
Stillness.Digital is a contemplative personal blog spanning several years of intimate, lyrical entries written in a quiet, almost literary voice. The writing blends dreamlike vignettes, nature observations, and personal reflection in a style that feels more like prose poetry than a typical journal.
