Essexians: This is important. After extensive hunting, I have come into possession of some of Hank Johnson's notes from the period in Graduate School when Dr. Calvin hired him to study 13MAGNUS. There are some cryptic references that come to mind. Diodati Epiphany and Volcanic Winter. They were the first notes in his journal and thus might be a good place to begin looking for his bread crumbs (referred to by, I believe Calvin, this summer). I believe Johnson planted these in an attempt to reconstruct not only his memories, but his thought stream after the recent recursion. I will be combing the notes for more information. We have no records of where Hank travelled during that time. I must piece it together. It is my belief that he might have left 'breadcrumbs' in those portals.
Fiction is inspired from something with a basis in reality. We can only write understandable fiction by building off of our own knowledge and experiences. True, uninfluenced creative fiction- is such a thing even possible? I doubt it, otherwise it would be so out of sync with what we are capable of thinking that we would be unable to interpret it with accuracy. Therefore, when it comes to the Howcraft document, i would conclude that they simply didnt know what it was. What they saw was so vivid and shocking to them that they had to write it as detailed as possible in hopes that one day it could be interpreted accurately.
ReplyDeleteFelicia Hajra-Lee seemed to think her work was unusually vivid imaginative work. Lovecraft has mentioned obfuscating research before, though, so it could go either way.
ReplyDeletePlease share what you're all taking, it's been a rough week.

Alastair Gilfillan I told you when I was on DMT that fiction is considered reality. Edgar Allan Wright is onto something here...
