You're going to give me a nightmare! As usual, this is complete in every direction from its center.

dear god...

now that i can think clearly

as in, "dear God, thy name is Blue"

not only do i vote for this marvelously well-written story, i also think it's some of the best writing i've seen on WA. i'm still trying to parse what exactly you're saying about this Nyarhotep character, though ;)

at any rate, i'm verily impressed with the clever weaving of meta-literature (and intertextuality), the marked progression of hysteria and anxiety, and the organic stew of interconnected characters. i wouldn't mind seeing the characters physically fleshed out a touch more, but in a piece so cerebral, i can understand why the bodies receded

oh, and if that wasn't enough, anyone this conversant in Borges just wins - one of those laws of nature

What's the specific problem you're having?

[a_l_p_h_a_b_e_t]

I work for a company that thinks it is morally superior? The web site is blocked.

No worries, I just have to wait till I get home.

Whew! Okay -- for a moment I thought it was a real technical problem with the site. Happy reading tonight, then!

So how many meta suffixes should be before this fiction? Metametametafiction? I lost track. For something clear out there, congratulations.

[royanrannedos]

I mean prefixes. Gah, there goes my academic credibility.
