A civic story by Mot Snilloc
Folding chairs in a broken circle. A table made longer. A practice that outlives the people who started it. The Dispatches are where it begins.

The People Arrive is fiction about civic life: what people build together when familiar systems stop serving them.
Book I is drafted and in production. Until it is published, the Dispatches on Substack are the way in.

Behind the pages
Mot Snilloc is the pen name behind The People Arrive, The Human Playbook, and Adventures of Mot Snilloc. These are related bodies of work, each with its own form. This site is the home of The People Arrive.
The Adventures taught it. The Playbook holds it. The People Arrive is what happens when enough of us share it.
The Human Playbook and Adventures are in development; they are not published here.
