oneabove on Dear Alex, It’s been awhile since we’ve last spoken, I’d say ever since I set out in an attempt to bring Arganee back to its former prosperous state and I feel that I’ve done my part, though I certainly couldn’t have done it alone. So many people played a part in the restoration of this world and its magical status, some even more so than I. In this group effort many other alchemists and their unique minds and skills have […]
This is the end, though not the end at all, and we have a little informal rule about not using terminating language, of the story of Networked Narratives, a course, and much more than a course. I start here, standing quietly in the dark, in a closet-like room adjacent to the classroom at Kean University where this course takes place. Waiting for a moment long anticipating. Waiting. It’s a party, they are eating food. I can hear the laughter of […]
mark on The US House of Representatives finally passed AHCA 2017. Now it has to be scored by the Congressional Budget Office (usually done before the vote), be passed by the US Senate, go through a Reconciliation Committee, return to the House to be passed again and then returned to the Senate for final passage. Then the Republicans can honestly celebrate.
Letter from Dianna Dear Missy Diana Levi, I’m glad you had a great time being in our Arganee World. I enjoyed my short interactions with you and we seemed to have a lot in common. You brought up good points about me being “hidden.” I just want to remain anonymous in a way with the online pictures. I want to be seen but not seen at the same time if you know what I mean. And yes I absolutely love […]
missydiana on Dear Anna Bella, I’m so glad I found you and you found me. This was so destined to be. I’ve been searching for answers and you have been too. But perhaps the secrets of the universe aren’t meant for us to know. I like how you hide yourself so craftily. Your pictures show you mainly in shadows are really faded away. I do wonder if there’s something you’re hiding from. Did you do something bad? Are you on the run […]
Katherine on Dear Tycho, It was a pleasure to host you during your visit to New Jersey. I couldn’t have asked for a more interesting person to share my home and academic life with, as much as you may refuse to believe it. I’m not sure how bad the racism was back in Arganee, but for someone like me, the opportunity to make friends with a Chimera alchemist has been a dream-come-true. I’d also like to thank you for your kindness and […]
dogtrax on As Networked Narratives hits the last lap this week (it has been an interesting exploration of digital narratives, with a graduate class at Kean University and a bunch of folks, like me, out here in the open), I want to reflect on a project that took hold in the last weeks of NetNarr. https://pensatoscherzando.yolasite.com/resources/Arganee%20Transmission1.mp3 Specifically, the invention of an alternative, or mirrored, Self in the NetNarr world called Arganee. When I say “World,” I want to be clear that we […]
Avicia on Dear human, My time in your world has been an experience that I was not prepared for. Before I left my world, I was told that I would be surprised by the conditions of Earth– not that the people were bad, per say, but that they were in a state of turmoil. I can see this now, and I understand your human condition much deeper than I expected to. I expected to find problems that were easier to solve. Instead […]
aris on My goaafy friend, I am writing to tell you that I am thankful for your help. Rebeg contacted me and the other alchemists to tell us the results of our mission. It turns out that everybody survived and the planet is thriving. Thanks to your contributions, arganee has new connections and knowledge. I visited Earth the other day and decided to travel around. Yesterday I flew in that flying metal bird you call a plane. Looks like some futuristic torture […]
ketsunya on allo hailey! right now, i am scrambling to find moy kat and hurry back to do… important magic things. you do not need to know what, but the black winds beckon me. i will say this – thank you for letting me learn of your goaafy world. i feel like i know way too much about carbonated product, but it may be useful later… maybe it might make good potion, da? xaxa, we shall see, we shall see, comrade. i […]
jowest on left out West … (so?) well, I took the land, like pests with no rest. The blessings of my mother’s nature, helped access my inner stride, in well accordance with heartbeat’s thump. What I am to tell you, I’m not quite sure the ending. I see it’s llght though. The next move, had to contemplate like Chess, move. The pale blush fingers of dawn new sky, I had to. Follow, the lawn. The great lawn. Did, and passed a fawn. Sipping […]

oresia on My time with you has been invaluable, Richonda. You teach me that word : ). I have learned so much from you. I do feel Arganee and goaafy world can learn from each other. Communication and collaboration are important. Open your mind to view new things and to see other people in a way unalike what you’d normally witness. Just know, friend, that there are different colors of this world. All colors can come together, but each in their own […]
