“Although it may not be apparent, everything is in order.”
~From "The Road to Mythville," by Douglas McDaniel
For better or worse, the first drafts in Douglas McDaniel's efforts in speculative non-fiction begin with an extended string of readings currently preserved at G21.net. "The Mythville Project" begins
here.

Mythville's latest offering to G21.net, "Media Arts in War," has won high praise for low pay from its editor, Rod Amis:
"Sporadic but consistent contributor DOUGLAS MCDANIEL, who produces our 'Mythville Project' feature, never ceases to amaze me. When he plays to his strength, gonzo journalism, he produces some of the finest work it's been my pleasure to feature in The World's Magazine. That has never been more true than this week. I encourage you to read his piece, 'North Shore Art in War.' It's probably the best writing I've read on The Aftermath thus far.".

For some reason, Rod Amis at G21.net puts up with this insanity,
"What's now proven was once only imagined." Perhaps because he helped to inspire this piece, which will be one of the final chapters of a new book, "Glasnost Lost."
