In which I am quite, quite insufferable, vain, pretentious, and prone to making charts.

Although the key idea for the structure of Pass The Parcel came about while I was pointedly ignoring someone at the Literary Festival at my university (I sat at the back of the talk and wrote notes for poems; reader, I pretty much wasted my tertiary education

I don't have time to read this whole thing right at the moment, but I did read the first paragraph and part of the second, and it made me think of Catherynne M. Valente's The Orphan's Tales duology. You might enjoy them. You might not. They're very much rooted in the concept that every character in any tale has their own story, and she actually tells you all of them. And I do mean all. It was a very new way to read a story for me, and disconcerting at first, but enjoyable in the end.

Now, it's home tiems for me! YAY NO MORE WORK TODAY. I'll read the rest of this when I get there. :D

Hurrah, book recommendations already!

^_^* I'm always recommending something to someone, especially if it's a book by someone I know or have spoken to in some way or other personally, and Catherynne M. Valente is yuki_onna here. :)

Okay, I read the rest of it, and very honestly I think the vast majority of it went right over my head. o.o I mean, I understand the basic concept, I think, and it sounds like you've got something very interesting going on in there.

Then it gets into "constantly-evolving neuron-resembling [...] four-dimensional shape/processes" and I'm lost. ^_^*

Oooh, that's a name I've seen around!

To be honest, I don't blame you. :D

Valente. yuki_onna. Palimpsest. Book about a sexually transmitted city. Awesome.

XD I like reading it, though. It makes me feel smarter than I know I am.
