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. 😊

“On top of a wild height, called Cowanscroft, where the lands of three proprietors meet at one point, there has been, for long & many years, the grave of a suicide…”

Hogg’s ingenious metafictional pre-publicity for the CONFESSIONS… (Blackwoods 1823)

#TheAmazingMaurice: #Discworld goes to the big screen with an entertaining #fairytale riff, full of fun performances and the kind of #metafiction that's like catnip to me.
