As previously mentioned Dracula is written as a series of discrete, date stamped entries made up of things like diary pages, news articles, letters, telegraphs, ship's logs, and even transcribed phonograph recordings. There are two broad categories of entries in Dracula; those which appear in sequential chronological order, and those which are presented as flashbacks interspersed between the chronological events.
I have decided to be strict in keeping the text in the order it is presented in the book, which complicates the post frequency at some points. All flashback posts will be posted in order of text appearance between the posts in chronological order.
We've already seen a few days with multiple posts, this will start happening more as new voices join the story and landmark events occur. There will also be a few large gaps between posts. Today begins the first of these, but the next post is already scheduled so please don't think I've forgotten about you!
The chaos really kicks in when we start seeing flashback posts. Fitting them between the posts which are in chronological order creates some bottlenecks so you may see a large number of backdated posts wedged in over the course of a short time period. I tried very hard to distribute them as evenly as possible but there will be some particularly busy days.
I highly recommend setting up some sort of subscription for the posts if you haven't already so you don't miss anything. Facebook has automated crossposts, but the further from the source you get the more likely there are to be points of failure.
See you again soon!
