The Margin

Twelve notes written into the margins of twelve articles. Numbered, so you know one when you find it.

Salty and Clever cover for The Margin

Twelve notes are written into the margins of twelve articles on this site. Nothing in them is load-bearing. Every one of those articles is complete and correct without its note, which is rather the point — a margin note is what you write when the piece is already finished and you still have something to say about it.

They are numbered, so you will know one when you find it. This page keeps track of the ones you have opened.

Kept in this browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere, and clearing it costs you nothing you cannot find again.

There is no prize at the end. There are eleven more sentences, which for my purposes is the same thing.
