Omg! I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to have Ren and Brae back in my consciousness! And I’m glad you didn’t link back to the old one, I often get flustered when there are too many places calling my attention at once. Within is sane. Now, are you for real about this journal NOT a fiction? I own the Codex Seraphinianus btw. Never thought I’d meet another. ☺️
This is my intro to Brae and Renn. And I am here for it!!
Also, I totally get finding “lost” stuff in places people might laugh to hear about. I think sometimes those things have simply gone on journey, and returned when they were ready. 😅
Gahhh! Now I’m hooked on another of your brilliant serialised fictions… this is so not good Nathan, you are halting my flow ! But already I can’t wait for the next chapter… I’m not going back though despite not knowing the story, although I do hope you’ll add some of the sketches!
Do you have a copy of Codex Seraphinianus… please say yes so I can be green with envy! I have always dreamed of owning this book, the price though!
Very mysterious... I like starting fresh though. It was too much homework to go back and find all the old stuff so I just jumped right in, but other entries I've read were pretty nice. I look forward to seeing where they fit in eventually.
Phew. I am relieved you were able to find the pages. (Behind the toilet?!) How glad I am to read their journey continuing, so beautifully, lyrically translated by you again!
Wow...I nearly fell for the journal, but remembered previous instances and was a tad cautious!
So many phrases and sentences that I love, trying to pin down a favourite takes me to this:
"It burned bright in the sky, a corona of cool blue cloaking a heart as fierce as ember. It was beautiful. Then it winked out, leaving us motionless, the night sky re-emerging in dim jealousy."
Oh, I didn’t realise quite how much I had missed Renn and his bumbling ways until he retuned! What a treat it was to read. Your descriptions are so rich, “The light struck the myriad branches lining the path, casting each leaf and twig into darting shadow-shapes” - I so love the images that get planted in my mind through this novel. Long live your creative wave.
This is delicious, Nathan - as you know, I'm a big fan of found texts ;) This must undoubtedly go back to the "Red Book of Westmarch" which as a child I was convinced was real. Hooray for the return of Brae and Renn!

Ahh, it's like meeting an old friend again. Now, don't you dare lose it again! Looking forward to what lies ahead.

Oh, they are back! Loved reading Brae and Renn again. But hadn’t she disappeared last time we read?
They’re back! Them and the very tricky narrator. 😉 metafiction to the max.

I’m so glad to see this installment! And not the first time she’s seen them? That line, where placed gave me goosebumps…

I’m so happy to see the return of our old friends and I’m glad you chose to start with the first chapter. It’s such a conventional idea I know!
What planet are we on, and in what universe is the month/date/year format?
“What significance had that meteorite brought?”
“It is a decision I have forever had to live with.”
A brand new story for me.
Sitting on my coach, hot chocolate in hand, I’m ready and waiting for answers…
So lesson learned; never ever, ever, tidy up the house again with anything unfinished visiting....
Brilliant, once again. I can’t wait for this series to return!
