As an exciting Advent extra, I’ve been gifted the domain name www.visitpaghamonsea.co.uk for Christmas, and I’ve been an absolute menace with it.

(I’ve also made a load of posts and downloads free for you through Advent, and these will stay open to the public until 31st Dec. Check out my pinned post on Ko-Fi for all these links!)

I’ve set up a little website for the town, and enabled comments so that people can share their experiences. There have been some absolutely wonderful responses to this, some of which I’ve posted on behalf of others who sent me their reviews on WhatsApp (cheers friends), and others where people have then commented additional stuff. The town lore is expanding before my eyes, and I absolutely love it.

I will be uploading the town map by Dewi Hargreaves and maybe link to the YouTube video of my birthday spent in the brisk January sea air showing you where Pagham-on-Sea is not (clue in the featured image for this post…). That’s coming soon.

Explore Events – these are canon, or appear in the monthly Ko-Fi letters, or are newly invented for the website. If you want to play along, you can comment on the posts, or offer suggestions for events you’d like to see.

Looking forward to another wonderful flower show! Hoping all entrants are going to be just as ENTHUSIASTIC as previous years!

Explore History – all of this is canon and some aspects refer (and link to) the books! I don’t have comments enabled on this page, but you can comment on this post below, or comment on Things To Do page, if you want me to flesh the History page out more.

Pagham-on-Sea has a colourful town history that includes the burning of 5 Protestant martyrs in 1556, wreckers, smugglers, and duels. Much of this can be explored in the Museum & Containment Facility.

Explore Things To Do – I have 6 featured things at the moment, but I can add more! These featured things link to older blog posts, Ko-Fi posts, and podcast episodes. The comments here are already absolutely unhinged and you can reply to them, and add your own.

Went to what appeared to be a lovely antiques store. Currently on my 50th consecutive day on the run pursued by a demonic doll wielding a meat cleaver. Check provenance on all purchases. 2 stars. (The porcelain is excellent quality)

Explore Where To Eat – I have a page dedicated to where to eat and drink, split into the following sections: Cafés, Takeaways, Pubs & Bars, and Restaurants. You can comment on these with reviews and tips. I’ve linked past blog posts to some of these pages too, especially in relation to the undead community stuff.

Fish shop review. 1 star. How many hands should a fish have? None. NONE. And I’m certainly not paying extra.

Have fun and review responsibly… or… something…

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!

  1. You have reminded me of a project I started dabbling with years ago and still have never completed/launched. I started making a city website for my fictional city of Babylon years ago, just like your concept here. My fictional city serves as a connecting backdrop to a lot of my stories and I’ve developed history dating back to its founders in the 1800s. I had intended a year or so ago to go all in on this, but I haven’t done so yet. Honestly, I’d kinda forgotten about it. Hm….. new goal for 2025? Maybe.

    1. That would be cool! I love interactive things where readers can immerse themselves or play roles to expand the lore of the world and engage in forms of fanfic like that.

  2. That said, I love your take on it. It’s awesome. And I’m so glad I’m not the only one who has had this idea. It’s so much fun.

    1. Thanks! I have had so much fun so far with all the comments. Some submitted via WhatsApp so i posted those anonymously and then the same people have been able to come back and post as themselves and that has given it a really fun community feel.

      1. Oh my, I missed the comments the first look. Just went back. Love the reviews people are leaving. I might have to do this now. Hm.
