Before Reading

Hopefully, I had stopped you before you began to read this novel. I need to tell you about about the unconventionalities in this story: This fanfic is a piece of ergodic literature. The dialogue and thoughts will not have conventional grammar applied to them. The dialogue is written to make the reader imagine the details of a character's speech: italicization, for manifesting stress in a character's voice; substitution of a letter with an apostrophe, if necessary, such as in the case of Applejack; occasional removal of commas - to explain, "Get me soup John," which is said in one breath, sounds more natural than, "Get me soup, John," which is said in two breaths, "Get me soup" and "John"; and liberties concerning the spelling of words - such as, "Fuhgeddaboudit!" ("Forget about it!") The thoughts are italicized, not capitalized - not even proper names are capitalized - and have no punctuation. . . . Another grammatical unconventionality, which I just utilized, is the German four-dots punctuation mark that combines related paragraphs as a single paragraph and, as three dots instead of four, can also be used to indicate a continuation from the end of a Haupstück, a numbered, 'major part' of a chapter about a single topic, to the next that must begin with a hyphen. . . . I do the latter because it reduces the number of sections in the Haupstücks to not lose track of my story, and the reason for the former is to do a simple, concrete form of 'narrative sympathy/complicity'.

Regarding the last chapter and epilogue, I ask for your indulgence in a lot of apparent typographical "errors". You'll see what I mean once we get there.
