Riddle me this... riddle me that....
Hm, maybe I should have put a disclaimer at the start of Nocturnia for people not to expect to read it as one would most comics and/or graphic novels. Oh, wait, I did.

...Nocturnia is a loose collection of tales, for instance Scheherazade, but truthfully, it is supposed to hold my more... stream of consciousness way out there writing. Yes, it is still telling a tale, but it is by no means a linear one. Yes, by the end all -should- make sense, though perchance it will necessitate the reader look it over again, to see all the hints that were planted there. If I include the lyrics to the song, a reference to a specific flower? You better believe that they hold some significance. I never include something simply because it sounds pretty. ;)

I realize this is asking a lot from the readers, but the format isn't likely to change. I suppose I should try to explain again that its more like a circle weave, looping back to the begginning. Yes, the reader is only gathering the pieces right now, but in the end they will form a whole.

I want it a Keats-ian endeavour, a tale to be dissected! A Borges-like unraveling of fact and myth! Yes, I realize that I am being completely unrealistically ambitious but... well, I suppose I can always point people to Blatah! for a more linear tale.

That being said! Since unceremonious death of forums *insert tumbleweeds here* feel free to post comments and questions here, and I'll do my best to answer them without giving away all of the plot. ;)
