thoughtsonpapyrus.com · a site they built themselves
Thoughts on Papyrus publishes essays and short stories about books & reading at thoughtsonpapyrus.com, a site they built themselves. Last published October 2026, still publishing this year. Vouched for by 6 other writers in the index. Not in the top million domains: the big engines have never ranked it.
Counted from links on their own pages whose paths carry a year and a month. That reaches only the pages the crawl has seen, so early years may be undercounted.
2026 is January to October.
Every writer in the index by years since their earliest evidence. This writer: 8, from the earliest date the crawl saw. The index reads front pages, so it sees most writers as younger than they are.
Single words from their own pages, weighted by how rare each is across the 4,473 sites in the index. The small number is how many sites in the index use the word at all. Never a line of the writing.
6 writers in the index keep a link to this site. What they call it is printed as they wrote it.
They link to ANZ LitLovers, booksaremyfavouriteandbest, Spotlight on Film, Editor Eric's The Greatest Literature of All Time. Kept on the same blogrolls: Words And Peace (3 of the same writers link to both), Bookish Beck (3 of the same writers link to both).
ranked here because: unfound by the big engines · still publishing · essays, stories, or poems · vouched by the literary end

Every figure on this page was measured from the site itself and says where it came from. Nothing is quoted from the writing and nothing is written by a model. Something wrong? One email corrects it: hello@longhandalmanac.com. Want out of the index? Same address, or two lines in your robots.txt (how), and this page is gone the next morning.
