Big thanks to Destinysday for patient and exhaustive critique during the review process for this one. I don't have much to say elsewise; thanks for reading. Oh and if you don't vibe with this story's interpretation of the Library and its Librarians, let me know. We'll meet up in a near-forgotten town in Vermont and play a game of rock-paper-scissors so furiously that a certain Foundation will come to investigate the disturbance. Happy reading and writing everyone!

Ayy, Glad to help! Stories about some of the lesser-known aspects of the Library, like the daily lives of the staff, are always bound to be interesting( as you proved with this piece). Looking forward to seeing what you post in the future!

But it is its place to know.

This one was pretty cool, started with regular Library shenanigans and kick-dropped into madness, I love it, Patrons being forcibly turned into Librarians is something that isn't explored enough (at least that I have seen.)

I've never read a tale from the point of view of a docent, and this one was really great! It introduced a lot of new concepts (the Biblioweave, Archivist Framework, Threads) but I think it does it really naturally. Very Library, +1

Holy cow, well done! I really enjoyed the whole thing, though I found the last string of marked-up text a little hard to read, but I got through it. I think this is a very interesting and new viewpoint of the Library. Most stories seem to present the Library as a benevolent, carefree, whimsical type thing, but this shows a more orderly, mechanical, and cold nature that I haven't seen explored before. Again, fantastic job and I really think this POV could be built into something even bigger down the line.

I love the ideas in this work! It is so creative and it is definitely a part of my headcanon now.

Ohhh, love what you did with this piece. The way the Library 'controls' the people that work for it is one of those mysteries that is always interesting to explore, and this article did that exploration extremely well, dancing around it through this semi-anthology of sorts.

Really liked it. +1
