| Date | Asker | Question | M's Response |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 4, 2012 | sensiblestupidity | Why are you doing this? | I’m doing this because I have a story to tell. A long one with many characters. Some of them are real, and some are imagined.
As is the case with most stories, the real meaning is not immediately clear. I would love to skip to the end and present you with nothing but the meaning, but I fear that would be much like kidnapping a person and pulling the bag from his or her head in a strange and perhaps hostile setting. Some things are best done slowly, to avoid what I think would be the psychological equivalent of the bends. Thank you for your question. |
| December 4, 2012 | tinybetsy | I have a nagging worry that I've missed something important. Is it too late for me? Is there a way to catch up? | Think of what has happened up to this point as the beginning of a song. Like notes softly played on a piano. There is information there, to be sure, but it is only the beginning, and only the piano. Soon other instruments will join, then others will join after those.
Then the beat will drop, as the kids like to say. But to miss the first few notes surely doesn’t mean you’ve missed the song. The notes will repeat, as will anything worth repeating. We all meet people well after their stories have begun, and we still befriend those people, or hate them, or fear them, or fall in love with them. This story began well before I began telling it, and I haven’t even started. Thank you for your question. |
| December 6, 2012 | dearthanh | This is so creepy and eerie to me sometimes, and props to the people who actually figured out what the clues meant because I sure wasn't paying that much attention, but underneath that I feel excited, like something big is coming and that all of the people following this story will leave feeling connected and a part of something memorable. In the end, this strange journey in itself would be a story to tell. | As you say. |
| December 12, 2012 | popculturesicon | so how will we know when the part is up for us to solve something, not just the story continuing? | This would be a lot like asking where space ends and time begins.
What I mean to say is this: you’ll know. Just as you know not to measure time in miles or meters. But that’s not to say you or anyone else will be able to explain how you know. Because we all come to knowledge through different doors. |
| December 13, 2012 | froghat | Can anybody participate and solve your clues, or do you have a set line up of cast members that will help move along your story? I'm hoping to tag along regardless, your tale seems like one worth sticking around for. xx | This is a very good question.
Anybody can participate. The Blue Key went to the first person to answer the question in the Prologue. Other things will go to other people for many different reasons. But nobody has been chosen to help me tell this story. As it is in life, everyone has a chance to participate, spectate, or turn away. Thank you for your question. |
