Alectopause the 999th
.jpg)
As we approach the chiliadic day of Alectopause, we invite writers and artists of every sort to join us in reflecting on the time since Nona the Ninth was published in 2022 and in celebrating the community we've found since then. And also in creating weird art.

Summary
Prince Ianthe Naberius loses her self, soul, and sanity—not that anyone has time for that.
Also, Paul got a little more touched by permeability of the soul than intended and might be thinking about the Tridentarii too much. (They blame their predecessors.)

-unhinged theory about the Hot Sauce Gang and their art (massive series spoilers)
-Immaculate vibes: Close reading of the Third's first scene in GtNJust added: Civil Unrest and Fan Culture in the Third House (Naberius Tern, accidental people's hero?)

Summary
A collection of au Griddlehark ficlets of varying lengths, each based around the most wretched pun I could think of for the name Harrowhark. Will update daily until day 999 of the Alectopause, or until I run out of puns, or until trained snipers take me out. More specific warnings on each chapter, since these vary wildly in tone.
Current featuring: Hair-grow-hark, the one with two girls, a tower, and an excessive length of hair.
