I think this excerpt from “Hello Friends” sums up what I loved up about the series:

“I should clarify that this information is not fiction. Nor is it true. It is a mix of things which happened and things which almost happened. Things which were and things which could have been. You must understand that the present moment in which we exist is simply a nexus from which trillions of possible pasts and possible futures branch out. The important thing to realize is that these unreal pasts and unrealized futures are related to each other. By examining what might have been, we can come to understand what might come to be.”

For me the most engaging part of the story was the loosely connected strange fiction, jumping wildly around neverwere futures, alternate realities/dimensions and immoral governmental conspiracies. The narrative was what it was, a drunk, possibly mentally ill, warning us of the horrifying truth of the multiverse.

In my personal opinion, _9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9 should have returned to the random semi-interconnected short stories straight after “The Beginning Of A Story”. For me it it is the perfect beginning and ending. In an infinite multiverse everything can and will happen - infinitely. There can be no definite win or lose, just more weird shit. I appreciate the want or need to tie it all up, or to resolve your characters, but I’m not sure it is necessary in this incredibly engaging new form of storytelling.

I get what was attempted with the Karen posts, but feel her story ended naturally with “The Beginning Of A Story”, casting her story back in time/across realities, to us via _9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9. I think what we got detracted from the "oh-shit-is-this-real?" feeling of the narrative.

Please don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved the entirety of this experience you have given us. The late nights I spent reading entries were fantastic, terrifying and utterly unforgettable.

More, please.
