One more thing that I haven't been making clear enough! What I'm working on isn't just an adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.
The work that I am making is titled Ĵwlŷs Kæsar: A FFXIV Tragedy and Annotary in Five Acts. Tragedy, yes. But it's also an "annotary." This work is by me, Ellis Arcwolf.
An annotary is usually a "found" document, a dry academic treatise, or a classic work (like, say, a fictional adaptation of a classical play that happens to be called "The Tragedy of Ĵwlŷs Kæsar" by Liam Meri'a Morvelet). It serves as the central keystone that justifies the presence of the notes.
Those notes (footnotes, annotations, margin doodles, whatever) are true narrative engine of an annotary. This is where the character's voice breaks through the formal constraints to provide personal anecdotes, biases, and emotional truth.
The notes within an annotary aren't just for the reader; they are often written by a specific character within the world, making the act of annotating part of the story itself.
A popular example of this narrative style, which is more often called "ergodic literature," is Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov. The "story" is a 999-line poem, but the real narrative is found in the increasingly unhinged side commentary by the diegetic editor.
So that's what I'm doing. That should explain it more clearly. 😊

I fucking love writing for Maxx. 😹 He's such a joy:
BRWTYS
Only be patient till we have appeased
The multitude, beside themselves with fear;*
And then we will deliver you the cause
Why I, that did love Kæsar when I struck him,
Have thus proceeded.
* One time, when I was little, some 12-year-old donkey tried to call time out because he had to scratch himself, but really, he was just trying to score a goal and kept thinking that somehow him doing it during time out was gonna be a move I'd let him get away with. So I kicked him in the shins until he cried and took my ball home with me. I was a nine-year-old girl at the time. I feel like this represents a kind of foreshadowing, but when I start doing literary criticism on the work I’m in, shit starts getting too real even for me.#FFXIV #FFXIVWrite #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #AmWriting #Shakespeare #JuliusCaesar #FanFiction #Metafiction #CharacterVoice #WIP

Is This Anything?
A trilogy of novels where each one skips big chunks of chapters but still tells a full story. Years later, the missing chapters show up in the next book, and then the last book finishes the rest.
Each stands alone, but if you put all three together in order, you end up with one complete novel hiding inside them.

Youss limped in the door, took off his shoes and lay down on the couch, sighing.
“Hey, where were you?”
He looked up from rubbing his foot. “Blister.”
“Really, a one word response after disappearing for two hours?”
“Writer’s block. I was trying to walk it off. Those shoes were not made for walking.”
“What were you working on?”
“Just those MastoPrompts. Some days they work, others not.”
“And today?”
“Nothing. Not a single word.”
“Well, you can always try again tomorrow.”

mat-real : Material Realisms in Contemporary British Literature
> We aim to engage with texts that process our new experience of such realities and present a universe characterised by an “enmeshing of matter and thought, of embodied aesthetic experience and critical experience"...a far cry from the binarisms of yesteryear and the metafictional defamiliarization that went along with them.

«Speculation about killer #AI is a bit like QAnon for posh people. It is a collaborative #metafiction, where people compete to envision ever wilder #doomsday scenarios involving AI. But unlike the popular conspiracy theory for Trumpist proles, fretting over AI is a marker of very high status. As one Whitehall insider told me, you can kiss goodbye to a career in SW1 if you point out the problems with the now dominant narrative […]»
