Cool! The concept reminds me of โ€˜Pale Fireโ€™, by Vladimir Nabokov, or alternatively the unfinished โ€˜Pale Kingโ€™ by David F. Wallace.

2025.07.19 // Major overhaul of the site today; wanted it all on one page. Praise the "details" function. I feel that I should properly introduce myself, by the way. Hi all, I'm Alex, and I've been developing Sable since 2011 or 2017, depending on who you ask. It'll be done by 2032.

I feel the need to identify myself because of the highly metafictional nature of this work. (It's composed of two separate novels, both of which are written by "N.B. Cuprate".)

Thanks to bulltown's initial work, I now have an 88x31 button available here. The placeholder one was most of the way there; just had to set it to #fff/#000.

Hi--sorry, I don't know exactly what that means. I know about the 88x31s people have on their pages. Are those sometimes specifically coded by one user for another?

I guess they're not normally made by one user for another, but I tend to make a button for a follower that doesn't have one yet so they can be added to the 'neighbors' button wall on bulltown's homepage - yes, talking about 88x31 buttons. Have a look at the homepage and you'll see the "Sable" button I'm talking about. Cheers!

It's kind of a placeholder to keep my button wall complete... ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Okay, I think I understand now. Thanks for making a preliminary one for me; that's very considerate! :) I've gone ahead and completed a button and have added it to my "about/author" section.

I've wondered before about the ettiquette of doing this, since I've wanted to link to people who don't have buttons yet but don't want to step on any toes- glad to see this exchange :)

To be honest, it may bother some people - I cross my fingers and hope it doesn't when I do it. The ettiquette probably calls for asking first. But links are kinda my life and I do mean well - oh well.

Hi! Thanks for the follow! I loved "First Contact", and not just because I'm in NM myself! Definitely going to keep reading.

2025.07.17 // Had to take a break from chapter research today; /finally/ reading the book (HoL) that comes up time and time again when I try to figure out what genre /Sable/ is. So far loving it, but--goddamnit, what's this--Karen Green used to be a model, and she's 37? Dear god, no one will believe me.

Leaving this here as evidence that Apryl Lindon has existed in my head since 2017, and I have, um, varied scraps of paper to prove it. Ones I'm looking at over in the corner, next to the ceramic fox-shaped lamp, under the paperweight stone. Real scraps! Not metafictional ones!

...If Karen ends up leaving Will because she's gay, I'm going to be furious.

2025.07.15 // Still working on chapter 8. An absolutely massive amount of background research for this one, especially considering I knew very little about Italy until last week. (Italy? I thought we were in Tacoma?)
