The Story
Pie-IX was started in April, 2005.
The first book, Pie-IX: Time is of the Essence, was first published in May, 2006.
We'd like to think Pie-IX was an accident. However, no accident
has ever really worked out this well even in the short term, so on the
whole we're positive about Pie-IX's possibilities. What is Pie-IX, we
hear you asking. That's a good question. You're thinking it probably
involves some kind of baked goods and an odd number. In a way, you're
absolutely on the money. You don't need us. You can tell the story of
Pie-IX yourself. But actually, please don't, because then we'd be out
of a summer project and we'd spend too much time eating cereal,
panting in front of the AC, and gaining weight. Really. Don't do that
to us. It isn't kind.
Pie-IX is, to cut straight to the point, an experimental
narrative which combines both words and artwork to tell a story about
micro-time travel. Operating on the principles of pie -- that fruit
plus doughy goodness equals something much more than either on their
own -- the project hopes that by means of multiple mediums, some new
genre can be achieved. But mainly, we were just having a bad few days
and decided to work on something together as a distraction. Then we
named it after a metro station for reasons unbeknownst to even us, and
the plot snowballed out of control from there. Now, Pie-IX is a living
breathing story-to-be, and we hope you'll stick around to check it
out. It promises to have pie, multiple nines, principles of time
travel which acknowledge their lack of actual sense, a collection of
aesthetically pleasing anti-heros, and a semi-episodic format for
those of us with attention defecit disorder.
(NOTE: NO PEOPLE WITH
ATTENTION DEFECIT DISORDER WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF PIE-IX OR ANY OF PIE-IX'S SUBSEQUENT OFFSHOOTS, SUCH AS THIS WEBSITE, EXCEPT FOR JAIDA, WHO FELL OUT OF HER CHAIR ONCE OUT OF EXCITEMENT. HER SITUATION IS, HOWEVER, IMPROVING.)
