Our submission issue can be found\n[here](https://github.com/dariusk/NaNoGenMo/issues/39).\n\n_The Swallows_ is also the name of the first novel in the series.\nIt follows the madcap adventures of Alice and Bob as they both try\nto acquire the golden falcon, which is priceless, or at the very least\n[irrationally desirable by all involved](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MacGuffin).\n\n_The Swallows of Summer_, the sequel to _The Swallows_, revisits\nAlice and Bob's life three years later.  They have a much bigger house\nnow.  They also own more things.\n\n_Swallows and Sorrows_, the third book in the series, shows us another\nperiod in Alice and Bob's life, not much later.  They have taken up drinking —\nat least when they are disturbed by things — to calm their nerves.  And then\nthey start arguing.  Oh, and the narrator knows how to use pronouns now.\n\nThe fourth novel, _Dial S for Swallows_, probably takes place shortly\nthereafter, or possibly at the same time as _Swallows and Sorrows_ but in an\nalternate universe.  Alice and Bob are no longer psychic (although this may\nnot have been apparent in the previous books, the fact is that they were\neasily able tell what the other was thinking.  Now, they only have suspicions.\nAlso, the previous editor was sacked, and a completely new editor installed\nin their place.)\n\nAll four novels can be found, in Markdown format, in the `doc` subdirectory\nof this distribution.\n\nAt 49K words (in 15 chapters of 33 paragraphs each,) _The Swallows_ is not\nquite long enough to qualify for NaNoGenMo.  At 53K words,\n_The Swallows of Summer_ is.  _Swallows and Sorrows_ is just barely over\n50K words.  _Dial S for Swallows_ is over 56K words.\n\nAll novels were generated by the Python script `the_swallows.py` in the\n`script` directory, at different points in time.  See the repository\nhistory to get the version of the script used for a particular novel.\n\nI invite the reader who is interested in how the script works to read the\nsource code.  It sometimes even contains comments.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcatseye%2Fthe-swallows","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcatseye%2Fthe-swallows","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcatseye%2Fthe-swallows/lists"}
