Tales of Tetrapolis

This is a fantasy concept which I toyed with as a teenager: a city-state where different ethnic groups would mingle. Just this year, resolved on providing more content for Dancing Lawn, I took it on myself to update the Tetrapolis idea.

Meanwhile, I restored contact with a buddy I've known for nearly all of my fifty-five years as a Christian. Keith Klickman of Oklahoma is mentioned in my thread "Ashplant, Out Of Dry Ground." Once hearing about The Dancing Lawn, he wished he could participate in it, but he's tied up with legitimate obligations; accordingly, as in the case of Sir Tom The Dragon Knight, also an Oklahoman, I'm stepping up as an unconcealed ghost writer.

You can expect Keith and his wife Lori to appear by proxy in "Tetrapolis" as Kaktoresh and his wife Viltori. Now it's time for me to wait for EveningStar to post here the maps I drew of Tetrapolis and shipped to him.

In other news, Keith is devising a pastiche of "The Screwtape Letters." Attention again, EveningStar: Because Keith's work is unillustrated, I'll text it directly to your phone. The title will be "Screwtape Writes Again." Here, Screwtape takes on his next "nephew." No reason why you can't start it under your name, simply attributing the authorship to "Copperfox's long-time Illinois-born friend Keith Klickman."

We now return you to the long-awaited original actually-conceived-by-Joseph-"Copperfox"-Ravitts episodic novel, set on Dystopian Earth, exactly opposite from Wild Wild South.

Thanks very much, badger-turned-otter. The sloppiness of the map screenshots is due to my own sloppy sketching; but I'll piece my city-state back together.

In case anyone sees this BEFORE seeing "Gunslingers of the Fourth Galaxy," be advised that, in Dystopian Earth geography, Wild Wild South is in the west half of the southern hemisphere, while the landmass containing Tetrapolis is in the east half of that hemisphere.
