Quotations

January 6, 2020

On the Gnomon Chronicles:

I'm not telling a story. I am documenting what I encounter. I am the story.

On Gnomon algorithm theory:

Most of what I know, I know because I was friends with Alice Beta. For whatever reason, she picked me as one of her favorites.

Nonfiction pages

Nonfiction pages always have titles ending in "(nonfiction)". I treat nonfiction pages like Wikipedia pages, using the same general style.

You might want a nonfiction page for yourself, for your organization, and so on.

Some fiction does appear, carefully segregated, on nonfiction pages. There is a "Fictional cross-references" section for fiction-related links, and "In the News", which deliberately confuses fiction with nonfiction.

Fiction pages

You might have interests in several different fiction pages, for various reasons.

  • Fictional characters or ideas which you have suggested or authored
  • Fictional characters who have your likeness

Guiding principles

  • The Gnomon Chronicles is my work of art, my baby.
  • But I like to share; I enjoy collaborating with others, and I believe in collaboration as a way of art.
  • It's like Dungeons and Dragons — I am the Dungeonmaster, the Gnomon Chronicles is my dungeon, and I invite you to play characters in my world.
