2/ (sub-creation ^2 !!!), and this shared universe was originally going to be just sort of a throw-away thing, but the more I play with the idea the more I'm in love with it, and so after I get Ari 3 and 4 done, then I'm going to start writing the tales of "ancient" "history"

3/ that the young Dogs of the Parahistorical Research Unit are playing with. As with Tolkien writing the false but-truthy mythos of an England that never existed, the Dogs are writing a fictional prehistory better than the real one they actually have.

4/ and, oh, man, is it sprawling. The first book in the PHRU backstory is a mashup of Tolkien's The Hobbit and Heinlein's Juveniles (Rocketship Gallileo) and, IDK, maybe The Dark Crystal or something. There are sextants and big trees and turtles and space flight.

5/ So, basically, I need to become independently wealthy so I can take 3 or 4 years off and get this done. Hope I have some luck selling the Homesteading book through secondary outlets like Tractor Supply etc. "In a turtle shell in the ground lived a Dog..."

Does this transcend the division of pro/anti-human (or more and less militantly anti-human, I guess) among the Dogs?
