The Algorithmic Draft
by Cliff Ball
Part 3 of the Library Saga: A Satirical, Genre-Bending Saga of Books That Fight Back series
Every story has a beginning… but what if the beginning was the flaw?When the Library fractures under the weight of algorithmic forces, the companions are thrust into a gauntlet of corrupted genres - sitcoms, fairy tales, mysteries, pulp war novels, and even the library's own foundations. Each shard hunt becomes a parody of pop culture, but also a mirror of the heroes themselves: the Princess trapped in glass crowns, the Marine saluted by mannequins, the Detective's notebook writing without her, the Sitcom Dad haunted by laugh tracks.As the Arcane Archivist's echo grows stronger, the group realizes the shards aren't just fragments of story - they're pieces of the library's origin. The final keystone lies in the Founder's Wing, where the library began on a faultline of narrative convergence. To save what remains, they must tear out the very heart of the library, knowing the victory may destroy it. Cliff Ball is the author of more than twenty works spanning Christian fiction, science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction. With a love for storytelling and a knack for weaving the unexpected, Cliff brings humor, heart, and imagination to every page. When not writing, he's probably reorganizing his own library-just in case the books start talking. Welcome to a universe where books fight back, librarians wield narrative magic, and the fate of fiction hangs by a thread.The Library Saga is a genre-bending, metafictional adventure that blends magical realism and affectionate parody of everything from publishing tropes to streaming algorithms. Follow Dewey the cat and his band of librarians as they battle corrupted genres, rebel thesauri, and the creeping chaos of algorithmic storytelling. Each installment deepens the mystery, expands the literary multiverse, and dares to ask: what happens when stories start writing back?Perfect for fans of The Library of Babel, Discworld, and Scott Pilgrim, or even Mel Brooks and Spaceballs, this indie saga is a love letter to readers, writers, and the weird, wonderful power of narrative itself.

In the Library, every story is tested. Some are judged, some are erased, and some are forced to endure their longest day.Alexandria thought she knew the rules of survival: endure the trials, cling to faith, and keep walking. But when the Library turns its gaze fully upon her, she's thrust into a gauntlet of judgment halls, forgotten shelves, and suffocating silences that threaten to erase her voice forever.
