CHAPTER 3:
DEATH TO THE NARRATOR!
Hi 30dayartists,
I’m currently developing a cross-media narrative
This narrative is projected to span across various mediums:
a) an internet show,
b.) some zines/pseudo-religious pamphlet
c.) and a short film…
All these media will be used to perpetuate a hoax/ backstory about a cult of worship that revolves around a prolonged contextualization and re-contextualization of man’s never-ending search for truth. It is a detective novel about people walking in circles, writing to bury their pasts beneath them.
The starting point for all of this is a Novel I’m working called
DEATH TO THE EDITOR
I plan to publish the final story eventually, but for now I’m serializing it in hypertext format on my blog:

If you feel in the mood for reading something violent and nonlinear,
set in an alternate reality that parallels our own,
click the detonation sequence I have posted above – and enjoy the explosion!
(don’t worry it’s not science fiction. fiction science, maybe)
About:
DEATH TO THE EDITOR tells a story about the development of the cult (Struxus) spanning the timeframe of a few centuries. The gimmick is that in the book, narrative authority shifts depending on who is in control of the cult at any given time. It may seem a little dense and confusing, but don’t be afraid to explore the trail of digressions and hypertext.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
I am trying to put together a mailing list for updates on the novel’s status,
as well as to get in touch with like-minded artists for the development of a crowd-sourced internet show based on the tone of the Novel
(the show is part of the hoax and will be presumably “funded” by Struxus and credit the contributors in pseudonyms)
The content of the show will be pretty freeform, as the cult stuff is more of a sandbox than a soapbox.
Think Monty Python meets a pastiche of lo-fi public access televangelical video footage set in the future.
If you’re a writer, poet, visual artist, musician or animator and are interested in jumping into the sandbox of this intertextual, cross-media narrative, let’s get in touch and see what we can come up with together.
I am Xus Stru on facebook and my email account is: manosturbo@gmail.com
Thanks for lending your eyeballs,
- The Narrator.
