(urth) WolfeWiki

[Dan'l Danehy-Oakes]

Paul,

Go to the bottom of the Contents page, and click the link for "Discussion
of edits, structure, etc." We're working on that. I've created bogey
templates for story and novel pages, but obviously they can be
improved upon.

Also, look at the page for "Unrequited Love" (via the "Stories Available
Online" link). I'm not suggesting that this is THE WAY to do it, but it's a
first-blush attempt -- this is a wiki, make it better!

Soon, where Toon Town once stood will be a string of gas stations,
inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food. Tire
salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards
reaching as far as the eye can see. My God, it'll be beautiful.
